About Ancona

Ancona became one of the major ports of the Adriatic between the thirteenth and fourteenth century, second only to Venice. However, in later years Ancona, like other Italian towns, became the scene of many battles connected to the wars of independence, and was also the target of foreign occupations, including the massive air bombing campaigns during World War II, which destroyed whole areas of Ancona, and badly damaged the port.

Ancona Port

A historic Italian port on the East Coast, Ancona offers frequent sailings to Greece, Montenegro, Albania and Croatia. All of these connections, including special offers, can be booked online with AFerry.

Ancona port facilities

The Port of Ancona has numerous facilities for passengers, including a small cafe, toilets, and ample seating. Due to the increase in passenger traffic over the past few years, the Ancona port authority is now in the process of restructuring the port facilities. There are also facilities to accomodate disabled passengers.
