The Adriatic sea is mainly swept by two winds: the Bora blowing from north-east, cool and dry , and the Sirocco blowing from south-east, warm and wet.
The possibility to orientate the navigation in both directions consented in ancient times the development of the sea connections.
Julius Caesar’s ships maintained communications with the legions in Aquileia using the changes of the wind.
The isle of Grado was the first port for these ancient navigators who coming from the isle used to sail up the lagoon and then the river Natissa till Aquileia. Grado was already famous and Venice didn’t exist yet.
The rest of the history, that of the Patriarchs, of Venice daughter-town of Grado, of the Habsburgs, of Middle-Europe, you can come and discover yourselves here, on this wonderful isle born from the winds Bora and Scirocco.
The beach of Grado is the only one in the whole Adriatic facing South: the deep blue colour of the sea, the restful green vegetation and the golden sea-sand blend and create a magic atmosphere.
The wonderful beaches of the Isle which are many kilometres long, are the pride of the whole Region. In the last 13 years Grado could boast the prestigious Blue Flag, that attests the quality of the sea water and the cleanliness of the beach,
a real Paradise for the children as well as for the tourist who will appreciate the tidy-looking lido and the services such as beach umbrellas and deckchairs, the stands and little bars on the beach, the THERMAL AQUAPARK with recreational facilities.
