Ancona
Ancona is a picturesque city in central Italy, located on the Adriatic Sea. The capital of the Marche region, Ancona stretches across coastal hills, and its name derives from the Greek "ankon," meaning elbow. The city is an important port with ferry connections to Croatia and Greece. Highlights include the Trajan's Arch and the Romanesque-Byzantine cathedral on Monte Guasco. Spring and early autumn are the best times to visit, with mild temperatures.
