Lido Del Savio – Beach, Water Sports and the Savio River Mouth

Lido Del Savio combines the mouth of the Savio River with a free beach, a wide range of water-based activities and summer discoveries in the surrounding countryside. Those looking for a holiday apartment as a base can choose between active days on the water, a bike ride along the Ciclovia del Savio and peaceful walks or runs in nature.

Between the River Mouth, Beach and Cycle Path

The Ciclovia del Savio runs from Cesena to the mouth of the Savio River in the town of Lido di Savio, within the municipality of Ravenna. This gives the town a clear connection to a longer cycle route that can be incorporated into travel plans. Those who enjoy cycling can consider Lido Del Savio either as a destination or as one section of a tour along the Savio, without limiting their stay exclusively to the beach.

South of the mouth of the Savio River lies a free beach. At the river mouth, south of the groyne, there is also an approximately 40-metre-long section of free beach where dogs are welcome. This distinction between the beach areas helps with planning: the free beach is the main choice for a classic beach day, while the more specifically described section may be particularly interesting for travellers with a dog.

Water Sports and Exercise on Holiday

In Lido di Savio, you can go surfing, sailing, beach tennis, beach volleyball and running. This makes it possible to enjoy a varied stay: a sporting day can follow a quiet stretch of beach, or different interests can be combined during a single trip. Sporting Beach offers windsurfing and kitesurfing courses and lessons. Its facilities also include SUP and kayaking activities.

When choosing a holiday apartment, the way you want to spend your days is therefore a useful point of reference. Those who would rather place greater emphasis on cycling, walks and excursions can incorporate the various destinations into their travel plans before booking.

Summer Discoveries and Special Destinations

In summer, a market takes place on Piazza Forlimpopoli on Monday afternoons. The event can add a fixed weekly highlight to a stay and give travel plans a local rhythm. Outside the summer months, you should not plan on the market as a regular weekly event.

During the summer months, Dedalo Labyrinth, Europe's largest corn maze, is a visitor attraction in the immediate hinterland of Lido di Savio. This destination adds an unusual change of pace to a holiday: alongside the beach and water sports, visitors can enjoy an experience in the rural surrounding area. For travel and time planning, you should treat the labyrinth as a separate excursion destination.

The centuries-old Pineta di Cervia also reveals another side of the region. It offers numerous paths for cycling and walking. A “percorso vita”, or fitness trail, also runs through the pine trees, where you can go running. Alongside the free beach and water-based activities, there are therefore also paths through an old pine forest.

Getting There and Further Travel Ideas

A free shuttle bus connects Lido di Classe/Lido di Savio railway station with Mirabilandia. This information may be relevant for arrival and excursion planning if the amusement park is to be part of the trip. When searching for accommodation, it is worth deciding in advance whether the focus should be on the beach, water sports, cycling, market dates or excursions.
