The route stands out at national level for its exceptional concentration of award-winning destinations. From the four Blue Flag destinations — Gabicce Mare, Pesaro, Fano and Marotta di Mondolfo — recognised for their high environmental and water-quality standards, to the Green Flags awarded to family- and child-friendly beaches, and the villages that have received the prestigious TCI Orange Flag distinction — Cantiano, Gradara and Mondavio.

The cultural heart of the itinerary beats through the streets of Urbino, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and in the vibrant atmosphere of Pesaro, a UNESCO Creative City of Music and Italian Capital of Culture. The journey winds its way through 13 historic theatres and along the ancient Via Flaminia, home to the province’s only archaeological park, Forum Sempronii.

Beauty here is a sensory experience: from the cliffs of Monte San Bartolo Natural Park to the peaks of Monte Catria and Monte Nerone. This land is home to places of spirituality, such as the Hermitage of Fonte Avellana, as well as unique geological phenomena such as the Marmitte dei Giganti, where nature becomes architecture.

The region’s excellence is also reflected in its flavours, with a rich food heritage that includes three PDO products — Prosciutto di Carpegna, Casciotta d’Urbino and Olio di Cartoceto — and three DOC wines. Truffles take centre stage throughout the year, while sustainable practices have deep roots, with Isola del Piano recognised as a pioneering centre of organic farming.
