Located a few kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, Ravena is a city of art and culture. Its great attractive is being an artistic city by the sea. It was the capital of the Western Roman Empire, that is why its history is so interesting. It has many monuments, as well as churches that have been declared by the UNESCO as patrimony of the humanity.

There are nine beach towns in approximately thirty five kilometers of coast, with a marvelous setting to receive tourists, with great experience, where you can enjoy your vacations sunbathing, relaxing or practicing your favorite sports.

If you prefer outdoors tourism, Casalborsetti is the beach town part of the Ravena jurisdiction, ideal for that type of activities, because its got very well organized camping sites, and if on the contrary, you'd rather have an appartment for your vacations, Lido Adriano is your choice. Both of them are, for sure, among the best beaches in Italy.
