September 18, 2021 Kandra Bartel

Marche (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmarke]), or the Marches /ˈmɑːrtʃɪz/, is one of the twenty regions of Italy. The name of the region derives from the plural name of marca, originally referring to the medieval March of Ancona and nearby marches of Camerino and Fermo. Marche is well known for its shoemaking tradition, with the finest and most luxurious Italian footwear being manufactured in this region.

Grotte di Frasassi

Reviewed By Daleen13 - George, South Africa

I visited these caves 12 years ago and were awestruck but could not share because no photos were allowed to be taken. We visited again in October 2019 and now you may take photos from the second hall onwards without flash. If you are in the area, do not miss it. You can buy tickets online but most tours on the hour are in Italian, Also you need to be at the meeting point half an hour before your tour commences because a shuttle bus takes you from the parking area to the entrance which is about 3 km back. English tours usually forty minutes later i.e. 11:40 but you, need to confirm at the ticket office. You have to go with a guided tour. About 1 km of walkways with some steps.

Palazzo Ducale di Urbino

Reviewed By asonymous - Madrid, Spain

A gem of Renaissance architecture that gives you a sense of the sophistication of Duke Federico and his determination to create a cultural masterpiece in his small duchy. The inner courtyard is sublime and you can visit the stables/kitchens below to get an idea of the way the palace worked. When we went there were two exhibitions in the stables/kitchens and a wonderful exhibition on the influence of Ottoman and ME culture in Italian culture. Do not miss the Galleria Nazionale (paid entrance). All in all allow 3 hours for a relaxed visit but you could do it in less.

Riviera del Conero e Colli dell'Infinito

The Conero Riviera: Central Italy... The Heart of Italy A territory found in the centre from all perspectives. Firstly it is in the centre of the Italy, but also in the centre of the Adriatic coast and the Marche region. This centrality is identified with the heart: a place of emotions, desires and passions. Welcome to the Conero Riviera!

Stunning scenery, beautiful blue sea, one of the best beaches I have ever been to, even though it was extremely crowded in August. Swimming in the sea during the hottest heatwave I have ever witnessed was an absolute delight!

Cattedrale San Ciriaco

Reviewed By viaggioSensoriale - Cesena, Italy

Starting from the center of Ancona, after a long uphill walk, you can admire this magnificent Romanesque cathedral. The cathedral is located right at the top of a hill overlooking Ancona from which you can see a wonderful view of the sea. Where Greek temples once dominated, Christianity has replaced them with this beautiful cathedral. Definitely worth the visit, try it at sunrise or sunset for sure and very suggestive

Lungomare San Benedetto del Tronto

Reviewed By lizcoppola

In the under-rated and little known seaside resort town of San Benedetto del Tronto, is a magnificent seaside promenade that stretches several kilometers from a very smart dock with yacht club and various cafes, and some public art work to the neighbouring town of Porto d'Ascoli. It runs along a beach that is lined with well-serviced facilities including some excellent restaurants, cafes, private cabins and lounge chairs with umbrellas. A few free beaches equiped with free showers intersperse the beach establishments that charge for their services. This pedestrian promenade is paved in attractive patterns and broken up by beautifully landscaped patches of green and fountains. Most striking are the parallel rows of palm trees some of which have been planted just a few years ago to replace those devastated by an invasion of weevils. This promenade is lit up at night to striking effect and is spotlessly clean. No litter in sight and all the gardens were clearly well cared for. I would highly recommend a visit to this little known gem on the Adriatic coast of Italy.
