Getting around
Arriving
Ancona. The Adriatic mainline hub; the port (Croatia and Greece ferries) is a 15 minute walk, and Falconara airport (AOI) connects by rail and bus.
Tickets · ATMA
ATMA app and tabaccherie.
Validate when boarding.
The Conero riviera buses leave from here; in town, Trajan's arch, the cathedral hill and the Passetto's seaside lift fill the day.
On foot
- ·The climb to San Ciriaco over the port and the Passetto's white rock beach frame the amphitheatre city
Taxis and driving
- ·Port traffic is its own weather; the Conero road south is the reward
