hello kati! not such a good idea to go down italian eastcoast by bike. dangerous(awful trucktraffic),noisy,polluted and last not least boring.-there is some alternative roads inland,-beautiful but extremely hilly.lots of ups and downs.
last year i tried another way which i really liked. you can go from venice by boat or train to rijeka(croatia) and then by bike islandhopping down to split or dubrovnik.the islands are gorgeous. you find camps or small pensions for little money everywhere.(i went as far as albania and took the ferry fom bar in montenegro to bari in puglia,italy.)but you can easy find a ferryboat to ancona from split or dubrovnik. which month are you going to travel? July,august will be very hot. all the best! fred
