Explore & experience

Head to the Porto Turistico, where you can admire yachts and fishing boats. Its most prominent historical landmark is the Rocca Tiepolo, a 13th-century fortress built by Fermo to defend its territory. Explore the historical center with its charming streets. During summer, the town often hosts markets and events along the waterfront.

Local flavors

Porto San Giorgio’s culinary identity is closely tied to the sea. Be sure to try sardoncini a scottadito (grilled sardines) and brodetto di pesce (a regional fish stew). Pasta dishes often feature seafood, such as spaghetti alle cozze (spaghetti with mussels) or risotto ai frutti di mare. For dessert, look for frutta di martorana (marzipan sweets shaped like fruits) or enjoy a refreshing artisanal gelato from one of the many gelaterias along the promenade.
