Riviera Del Conero
Why you should visit this off the beaten track mar
The regions of Sardinia or Sicily boast amazing beaches and shores with crystalline waters, but there are areas way off the beaten path where you can enjoy a diverse and more affordable summer. Taking its name from Monte Conero, a 572-meter promontory overlooking the Adriatic Sea, Riviera del Conero is something you wouldn’t expect to see in Central Italy.
Blue waters (Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle, Spiaggia della Vela, and Spiaggia di San Michele are the best ones) and colourful villages (Numana and Sirolo) are the defining traits of this part of Italy that elude the reputation of more famous and clichéd location in the Belpaese.
Spend the day at the beaches, all surrounded by wild vegetation and thick pine woods, then at dinner treat yourself with tasty and gourmet fish recipes in Numana at Ristorante La Torre, ending with a great gelato at Bar Centrale in Sirolo while strolling through its cute and quiet alleys.
