This summer, in partnership with Riviera Experience, we want to take you on a rediscovery of Ravenna's shores through unbitten tours, panoramas and stories outside the classic itineraries and clichés.
The Bunker Tour of Marina di Ravenna is an example of this: numerous witnesses of the past survive here. The fortifications of the two great conflicts of the last century in the area represent a real open-air museum, recently rediscovered thanks to the work of a group of volunteers. The tour winds through the oldest areas of the country to tell about customs and traditions of that time, the incredible events of the W.W.Wars and the best-known characters who made the history of a small seaside village.
In collaboration with PRO LOCO MARINA DI RAVENNA
The tour winds through the streets of the town in search of the II World War bunkers still visible and largely incorporated into the buildings. You will visit the most important points of the country that tell anecdotes and "first times" and you will be able to observe the remains of 2 bunkers dating back to the First World War inside the pine forest.

Happy Hour with Turtles
Enjoy the evening meal of some of the special guests who are being treated at the Cestha Center (Experimental Center for Habitat Protection), a non-profit research organization, whose mission is environmental protection.
The Research Centre, composed of researchers and specialists from the natural sciences, marine biology and veterinary medicine, deals with conservation programmes for endangered species and the promotion of sustainable management activities.
Your visit to the Marine Fauna Recovery Centre, located in the complex of the ancient Fish Market in Marina di Ravenna, converted in recent years into a marine research centre, will be led by this very team of biologists.
The experience is suitable for everyone and takes place in the context of environmental education, to raise awareness of today's issues: waste, proper use of plastic and respect for the environment.
You will meet up close the turtles now being treated at the centre, learn about their history, clinical diagnosis, healing process and release into the sea. Finally, for those who wish, it will be possible to experience the thrill of actively participating in the daily feeding of some of the patients.
The contribution of participation in this activity is aimed at supporting the fish fauna housed there, such as the turtles that are the protagonists of this 'experience'; but it also has another important and very heartfelt purpose: that of forming in all of us, starting from an early age, an environmental awareness that will accompany us and grow over time.
In addition, the income will enable the Centre to bear the many expenses involved in managing this particular 'hospital', such as the cost of medicines, therapies and specialist veterinary examinations. In fact, the Centre supports itself thanks to its dissemination initiatives, as it receives no public funding for the care and management of sea turtles.
