CESENATICO
In Cesenatico, the sea is a living history. Its famous Porto Canale, designed by Leonardo da Vinci, is the beating heart of the town: the fascinating historic boats of the Maritime Museum are moored here year-round, with their colorful lug sails, a symbol of a past of fishing and merchants.
Partner Hotels
You can choose where to stay from the list of Partner Hotels. The reservation is handled directly by the hotel.
Tournament Venues
From the Court to the Sand, the volleyball court is positioned to let you enjoy the best of the “Riviera Romagnola”, only 2.5 km from the vibrant Cesenatico coastline and the iconic Sky Wheel where you will find the seaside venue hosting the beach volleyball segment of the tournament.
