Excursions starting from Hotel Adriatico Gatteo Mare
Ravenna
Ravenna stands close to a magnificent pinewood and boasts an extraordinary number of basilicas, baptistries and mausoleums. The harmony of the classical-style buildings blends together with precious marbles and the famous Byzantine mosaics. The city is also well known for its main street lined with fashion boutiques. (40 Km)
Frasassi
The caves of Frasassi are among the best known in Italy and represent a fascinating opportunity to admire what nature is capable of creating. Guided visits take you through the various caves and the magic natural atmosphere is sure to fill you with wonder. (60 Km)
San Marino
The famous old republic with its historical heritage, museums and wonderful buildings. Beside the scenic beauty of the country, San Marino also offers a large assortment of arts and crafts and souvenirs, with great shopping and amusement opportunities.
Gradara
An old hill town with a fairy-tale and ancient atmosphere where, so the legend goes, Paolo and Francesca lived the tragic love story narrated by Dante. Walking though the narrow streets, especially in the evening when the castle is skilfully floodlit, amid centuries-old oak trees, provides couples with a truly romantic framework, where love, poetry and history blend together with the magnificent landscape. (40 Km)
Santarcangelo
Santarcangelo is a special town. Perhaps because here traditions continue to thrive, perhaps because of the monuments, mysterious caves and fairs. Here you will find lovely wrought-iron objects and traditional printed fabrics. Santarcangelo, which is only a short distance from the sea, has an atmosphere all its own that makes it different from the other towns in the hinterland. (8 Km)
Urbino
Urbino is synonymous with art and culture. Famous is the Ducal Palace museum containing works of art from the 14th to the 17th centuries, but above all some of the most significant masterpieces of the Italian Renaissance, a period also strongly reflected in the city's architecture. Very characteristic are the small workshops in the old-town centre where it is possible to watch craftsmen at work and buy articles of various kinds. (60 Km)
