The area around Porto Recanati offers many beautiful and worthwhile places to visit.
Just a few kilometers to the south lie Numana and Sirolo – picturesque towns set on the hills of the Monte Conero Regional Park, famous for their charming beaches, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking views. They are perfect destinations for day trips, swimming, and relaxing walks in nature.
To the north of Porto Recanati is Loreto, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in Italy, known for the Basilica of the Holy House – a remarkable monument and a true symbol of the Marche region.
A bit further north lies Ancona, the capital of the region. This vibrant port city combines impressive historical monuments—such as the Cathedral of San Ciriaco and the Arch of Trajan—with seafront promenades and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Ancona is also a great starting point for exploring the coastline and nearby natural attractions.
Another wonderful destination is Senigallia, a popular seaside resort renowned for its wide, soft “Velvet Beach” and the elegant Rotonda a Mare. It is an excellent place for family holidays, evening strolls along the promenade, and enjoying the traditional cuisine of the Marche region.
For those who wish to explore more of the Marche region, Ascoli Piceno is a must-see. This elegant city, known for its travertine architecture and the stunning Piazza del Popolo, offers a unique blend of history, art, and culinary tradition. Walking through its medieval streets feels like stepping back in time.
Another enchanting destination is Corinaldo, often listed among the most beautiful villages in Italy. Surrounded by perfectly preserved medieval walls, the town captivates visitors with its narrow alleys, charming stairways, and peaceful atmosphere. It’s an ideal place for a relaxing walk and for experiencing the authentic spirit of the Marche countryside.
