Italian Marche - a homeland of peace – main image

Squeezed between low, colorful hills and the warm Adriatic Sea, the Marche region has recently become a real tourist hit. Many people praise it (and rightly so!) As a calmer and ... cheaper version of Tuscany.

We can find here everything that the eastern coast of Italy is famous for: excellent cuisine, medieval towns in the picturesque valleys and truly Italian Dolce vita . So if we are looking for these three unique elements, a holiday in Marche will certainly provide them. Who will like this place the most? From my own experience, I can say one thing: a family vacation in Marche is a shot at 10! There are several reasons: the first is the unique location of the region - the long coastline means you can discover different beaches every day (clean and peaceful!), And the surrounding hills, where an active family can move around on two wheels, hide real treasures. If we want, we and our kids can discover the secrets of medieval knights in small towns such as charming Montemonaco . Surrounded by massive walls and interwoven with cobbled streets, it allows you to feel like you were in the old era of kings and princes. A bit further you will find the Sibillini National Park - a great place to discover the fishing line of an adventurer. The extensive network of trails leads tourists to crystal clear lakes, caves and mountain passes - places perfect for a family picnic!

It's fun on the beach

What would a holiday in Italy be without laziness on the beach? If you sometimes like to just lie down on the hot sand, close your eyes and "float away", you will be completely happy in Marche. The largest seaside resorts are Ancona and Fano - and although they are extremely popular with tourists, they are still relatively little crowded and ... exceptionally clean. In other words: perfect for a family holiday! If you like to be close to the city, a stay in Ancona is a good option - this lively port has something fascinating about it. Bustling with life until late at night, cafes and restaurants, streets full of music and singing, adjacent to numerous beaches - of course, the closer to the city, the more popular. Fano is an interesting alternative to Ancona - a seaside resort that was already admired by the ancient Romans and attracts with its beauty to this day. We can find here many beaches of a very diverse nature - from wide and sandy to smaller and rocky ones, hidden in microscopic coves. If you get bored of sunbathing, just go for a short walk and after a while you will be among the picturesque hills and meadows. Yes, a holiday in the Marche is great fun for the whole family!

Camping in Marche

Before traveling, it is essential to take a few moments to find the right accommodation in Marche . Comfortable and clean sanitary facilities, access to sports offer and, of course, a number of attractions for children are elements that should be on our "check list". The Camping Village Marinella we tested last year exceeded our expectations on each of the points above. The location itself is impressive: the campsite has a beautiful view of the Adriatic Sea - you can watch the sunsets every day! Access to the wide, sandy beach was also a unique asset. An active family at this campground will certainly not be bored: the volleyball and boule fields, as well as bicycle and pedal boat rental allow you to stay in shape at all times. And most importantly - an offer for the youngest! The wonderfully conducted animation program - both on the guarded playground and in the water park - is a great opportunity for every Little Tourist to meet new friends.

Venice - walk between the canals
For many years, Venice has been one of the most visited cities in Europe. No wonder - the capital of the Veneto region, or Veneto, captivates with its unique beauty and numerous attractions waiting for tourists. And there is no shortage of these, because as statistics show, the city is visited by up to 20 million people every year! Why is it worth going to Venice? What to see during a weekend trip to the city of canals?. Venice is a one-of-a-kind city. The dense network of canals, estimated at 150, creates a unique atmosphere that attracts travelers from all over the world to a holiday in Veneto . The city with an area of 412 km2 also has its own unique history, dating back to 452, when it was founded by the Venetian tribe. In later times, Venice was a democratic republic ruled by the Doges, and in the 10th century it became the greatest maritime power in the Adriatic. Crafts flourished in the city, including the production of Venetian glass and cloth making. Until the discovery of the sea route to India in the 15th century, Venice dominated trade with the entire East. The discovery of Vasco do Gama somewhat weakened the position of Venice, which remained, however, the center of outstanding architecture and art. Napoleon, who conquered it in 1797, also played a role in the history of the city. The city was later incorporated into Austria, and regained independence again in the 19th century. Currently, the city is a showcase of northern Italy, an important cultural center of the country. Due to its unusual location, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, and its economy is mostly based on tourism. However, life on the lagoon is not easy. Its inhabitants are exposed to frequent flooding, there are also difficulties in the movement and transport of goods.
