Easy to get off the boat, we just did the easy walk and a spot of shopping. A lovely lunch at Trattoria da Irma by the terminal, well worth a visit ...
Nothing much to do or see, we got a cab to a nearby beach had lunch and returned to ship, taxi driver was informative, one of the few drivers that was pleasant. ...
We knew noting of Ancona but enjoyed walking through the old town and up to the cathedral. Plus there are ruins of a Roman amphitheater.
A delightful lunch meant that we thoroughly enjoyed Ancona - a hidden surprise. ...
I am sorry but it looked like we pulled into the ship yard dock, there was nothing around and when I asked the staff on the cruise what there was to do they said nothing. We were at this port longer then the rest and it was horrible. We stayed on the boat when we found out it was a hour walk to the beach in the hot weather. I didn't see any real transportation looking from my balcony. ...
We went for one of the excursions which took us to Sirolo, which was beautiful - however, our excursion did not go to the lovely beaches, where we were originally told we'd be going (by TUI in store). ...
Once again we did NOT use the ships tours as they are horrendously overpriced! Not much to see in this port! Really only a stop to pick up extra passengers. ...
I was expecting Ancona to be a waste of time but it was pleasantly surprising. We walked around easily by ourselves, covering most landmarks before doing a spot of shopping and having a drink at a cafe. The town had many historical buildings and an easygoing atmosphere. Enjoyable day. ...
