Harbour

by xaver

Ancona is also a very important adriatic sea harbour., from here many ferrys to Greece and Croatia leave every day.Ancona is the main tonw of Marche region and it's located near Conero park, so it's a good idea to arrive here if you want to explore that area.If you want to visit the southern part of region(ascoli piceno) may be arriving In Pescara(by train or flight) is a better option as, if you want to visit the northern part(Pesaro, Urbino) the best option is arriving in Rimini(by train or flight).

Parking in Portonovo, Monte Conero

by AngeloRecchi

When you go to Portonovo, from late April to half September, it's better to leave your car at the top of the hill above the bay. Simply turn opposite to Portonovo bay at the main crossroad with the blue flag, where they indicate Welcome to Portonovo. After a few meters there is a free and big car parking, where you can leave the car, and use the free bus to go down. It's not only a matter of parking prices, which are about 5 Euro per half day, but also a matter of space: it's often hard to find a park, even in a toll parking, unless you have a room in a hotel in the bay.

Rentaing a Car is Best for Le Marche

by deecat

Although there are two main train lines that go through Le Marche [the Milano-Bologna-Ancona-Lecce line and Roma-Falconara Marittima-Ancona line], it is much more convenient to have a car to cover the Le Marche region which is just under 10,000 square kilometres.We rented from Auto Europe [before we left]. The car was a Peugeot 206 stick shift car. For ten days, the cost was $529.38 or about $53.00 per day. We picked it up at Rome Fiumicino Airport [Leonardo Da Vinci] and delivered it back.If you want to cover the four provinces [Ancona, Ascoli Piceno, Macerata, Pesaro-Urbino], see both the mountains and the beaches, then a car is necessary. We rented our car through Euro Car Rental before we left the United States. We picked up and dropped off our car at the Airport in Rome. We just took our printed sheet to them when we arrived at the rental desk and submitted the sheet upon return. We...

Public transportation & CoPublic transportation, it appears, is sparse. There are plenty of trains to and from Ancona - but to go out to smaller places it could be a problem. There are a handful of trains that go to Porto Recanati each day, and I've seen buses connecting Porto Recanati to Loreto and Recanati. I'm not quite sure how one could go to Urbino and Sirolo - I think sometimes to have a car it can be quite an advantage. Failing this, get a local to drive you around.Photo: The old tower in Recanati, at night
