Adria is a quiet town in northern Italy that gave its name to the Adriatic Sea. Rich in archaeological history, it offers a glimpse into the Etruscan and Roman past amid canals and Renaissance buildings. It’s surrounded by the Po River delta — a lush natural reserve filled with birds, boats, and traditional fishing life.
For those seeking a second home off the beaten path, Adria offers small-town charm, Italian character, and proximity to Venice, Bologna, and the northern coast. It’s understated, welcoming, and full of slow-travel appeal.
