Set against the striking backdrop of Monte Conero, Porto Recanati has been a seaside destination with a warm welcome for over a hundred years.

It is a typical small fishing town which offers the tourist the chance of a tranquil and relaxing holiday. The seafront is completely closed to traffic, and so is the ideal setting for those peaceful walks, so good for the health, among the colour-washed houses, with complete freedom for the children to play in safety.

The additional pedestrian zones on Sundays and summer evenings make Porto Recanati even more welcoming, with no traffic or parking problems.

A calm sea laps the long, sandy shore, which is protected by numerous breakwaters. At the bathing establishments there are facilities for all kinds of sports, to add to the attractions of the sea itself.

There is something for everyone, for the young and not so young, in the activities and the accommodation on offer to the tourist: modern hotels, extremely wellequipped camping-sites, tourist villages in dramatic scenery, swimming pools, tennis courts and five-a-side football pitches, an aquatic park and sailing races at the Sailing Club. Finally we must mention the many accommodation solutions offered to tourists by our staff, who are experienced professionals in the field.
