Travel
As can be seen from our Getting there section, Ryanair has daily flights from Stansted in the summer months (four times a week in the winter). However, it is also possible to fly via Munich on Lufthansa , with connecting flights to many UK and international airports. Alitalia flights can also be booked via Milan or Rome. When arriving at Ancona, car hire can be arranged through several companies, but in particular Hertz do offer a discount for Ryanair customers if you book via the Hertz page on the Ryanair website. Avis and Europcar also operate from Ancona. If you wish to book a taxi, please contact us and we will be happy to arrange this for you.
