Ancona
Ferry tickets to Ancona
Ancona, the capital of Marche, is located on the west coastline of central Italy. The city’s name derives from the ancient Greek word “agon” which means "bend" and what makes this fact seem credible is Ancona's location, right on the bend in the middle of the country’s continental part.
