💡 Tips
- A shuttle bus connects the upper town of Sirolo and Numana with the beaches below; it's a leg-saver after a long day in the sun.
- To reach the beautiful Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle (Two Sisters Beach), you must take a boat from Numana harbor, as the land trail is often closed for safety.
- Sirolo's main square (Piazza Vittorio Veneto) provides a spectacular panoramic balcony over the Adriatic; arrive before sunset for the best photos.
- Parking in both towns is very limited and strictly controlled; use the large peripheral parking lots and take the shuttle.
🍽 Food
Wild local mussels, best ordered at trattorias in the harbor area of Numana or upper Sirolo.

Numana and Sirolo are the crowning jewels of the Conero Riviera in the Marche region. Sirolo, often called the 'Pearl of the Adriatic,' is a medieval village perched high on the cliffs of Mount Conero, with a central square offering panoramic coastal views. Numana consists of an appealing upper town with a rich history and a lower beach area featuring a modern marina and family-friendly sandy stretches. The area is home to some of Italy's most memorable beaches, most notably the 'Spiaggia delle Due Sorelle' (Beach of the Two Sisters), accessible only by boat and famous for its twin white sea stacks. The Mount Conero Regional Park provides a network of trails for hikers and mountain bikers, winding through fragrant Mediterranean scrub to hidden viewpoints. Historically, the area was a significant center for the ancient Piceni people, with archaeological finds displayed locally. Local cuisine highlights fresh seafood, particularly the 'moscioli' (wild mussels harvested from the rocks of Portonovo). These dishes are best enjoyed with a glass of Rosso Conero, a robust red wine produced on the slopes of the mountain. While the summer months are well-suited for swimming, spring is convenient for those looking to explore the natural park's biodiversity without the heat.
