Ancona is located east of the foothills of the Apennine mountains which are the tallest range in central Italy. The shoreline south of Ancona is characterized by relatively deep, clear, and quite cold water bordered by rocky beaches below the Conero bluffs to the west. The location of Ancona has made it a centre of maritime transportation and commerce between Italy, Croatia, and Greece. As such, Ancona is the key ferry port in central Italy with daily connections to a variety of destinations across the Adriatic Sea.
