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!

Furlo Pass

Reviewed By Artemis02 - Dallas, United States

Our family of 2 adults and 2 kids enjoyed several hours exploring the Furlo pass on the last Saturday in December. The landscape is stunning. It's absolutely beautiful!! There were other people in the area but it was not crowded. We had no problem parking the car at the various pull-offs and then walking along the road to explore the different spots of interest. The Etruscan and Roman tunnels were fascinating, as was the Roman-era drainage tunnel that you can still walk into and explore. We will definitely return in the summer to see the change of seasons in this lovely spot!

Parco del Conero

Reviewed By DanR266

We were introduced to Marche two years ago and just wowed by its beauty and affordability. We went back this year to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary and to dig more deeply into it. Parco del Conero, like all of Marche, really is a hidden gem, especially for Americans. Beautiful hiking woods give way to breathtaking vistas. The young guide at tourist information was immensely helpful and enthusiastic.

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

We were lucky to have stopped here for a fe hours when traveling along the Adriatic coast. The village is nicely preserved, with wonderful views and a great historic atmosphere. Plan at least an hour to explore the alleys and viewpoints (including the castle‘s ruins).
