Hi Kaira,
you are sailing from Split Port?
If you are at the port, just go to the main terminal building, outside of the building there is a Electronical board listing from where the different ferries departure.
What is the *actual address* of the port in Split and the port in Ancona? I cannot find this important information anywhere.
Hi Monica,
if you type Gat Sv. Petra, 21000, Split in Gmaps, it should point you to the exact pier from where the ferry departs to Ancona.
In Ancona, that address should be Molo Santa Maria, 60121 Ancona AN, Italy.
Best,
