Ferry to Ancona: Travel Guide

When to take the ferry to Ancona?

The best time to travel in Italy depends on your personal preferences. If you like the sun and the heat, summer is the ideal time for you. The months of June to August offer high temperatures ranging from 25°C to 35°C in the southern regions of the country. However, temperatures can rise to 40°C in certain regions such as Sicily and Calabria. Italy's beaches are crowded during this period, so expect plenty of tourists.

If you prefer milder temperatures and avoid the crowds, spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) are good seasons to visit Italy. Temperatures are pleasant, fluctuating between 15°C and 25°C, and the landscapes are magnificent, with flowers blooming in spring and changing leaves in autumn.
