Ancona
Ancona is the main port of the Marche region, on Italy’s Adriatic coast. The city climbs around the cathedral of San Ciriaco, perched on Guasco Hill, and Trajan’s Arch, built in the second century, stands at the entrance to the port. To the south, the Conero riviera offers cliffs and coves. Report to the terminal at the time shown on your ticket.
Split
Ferries from Italy dock at Split, at the foot of Diocletian’s Palace. Checks take place in the port, then the motorway to Zagreb or the road along the Dalmatian coast starts at the edge of town. Allow time for the formalities, especially in summer.
