  • "a great atmosphere"

    The boat was clean and the staff is always trying to please the clients. The only thing lacking in our cabin was the flat sheet and the towels, but we were given some when we asked for them. The atmosphere on board was good. See you soon.

  • "A ferry which needs improvements"

    We made the crossing between Durres and Ancona. We had booked a reclining seat. Hovever, once on board, it was impossible to seat. All the families, who didn't book a cabin, put their luggage on the seats to 'book' them. Moreover, the seats looked very run down! I can't remember exactly how much those seats cost, but it's almost a scam to sell something like this! Moreover, the ferry was supposed to leave at 5pm. We left at 7pm. We were asked to come 180 minutes before departure. However, we only board 90 minutes before departure. It was not a great crossing. It was way too noisy and the facilities were dilapidated.

Ancona Guide

The Italian port city of Ancona is located in the Le Marche region of central Italy and has been gaining in popularity as a tourist destination over recent years thanks to its natural beauty and lovely gastronomy. The city lies on the Adriatic Sea coast, some 200 km from the city of Bologna and 280 km from the city of Rome, the Italian capital. The city's natural defences, located between the slopes of Monte Conero and Monte Astagno, made it a good location for the original settlers from Syracuse to defend. Greek merchants established a Tyrian purple factory in the city and their influence on the area is widespread. During Roman times the city had its own coin system and Greek was spoken throughout the area.

Ancona is a very important sea port and is well connected by its port to many other locations. The best and easiest way to reach Ancona is by ferry, which operate to destinations including Split, Rijeka, Zadar, Hvar, Korcula, Dubrovnik, Patras, Igoumenitsa, and Dugi Otok.
