The Seaport City of Ancona, Italy

Ancona is a seaport city in the Marche region of Italy. We drove here from our farmhouse in Tuscany, and it became a bit of a mountainous drive. We were glad when we finally dropped down onto the coast and could see the water and the city.
We didn’t spend much time in Ancona, it was merely the embarkation point for the ferry trip to Split, Croatia. We went on Jadrolinja, although Blue Line International and SNAV sail to Split as well. From here you can also catch a ferry to other destinations in Croatia, as well as Greece and Turkey.
I wish I could recommend more about Ancona, but honestly, it left me underwhelmed.
More about the ferry trip later!
