Italy’s Adriatic Coast has it all! Not only can it boast crystal clear, temperate waters and golden sandy beaches but it is also home to impressive historical architecture, rustic Italian cuisine, great nightlife and child friendly activities.

The Adriatic Riviera is possibly best known for one of Italy’s most popular beach resorts, Rimini. Welcoming tourists and Italians alike, Rimini offers beautiful sandy beaches where visitors can relax by the water’s edge in the Italian sun and take a dip in the pleasantly mild waters

But there is so much more to the Adriatic Riviera than picture perfect beaches. The glorious stretch of coast features 20km of golden sandy shores but is complemented by lush countryside and bustling characterful towns. These in themselves are a great way to while away the days, relaxing in a café, or wandering quaint streets, discovering their history.
