Wanted in RomeMagazine The inclusion of Ostia in a list of the "ugliest seaside towns in Europe" by British newspaper The Telegraph has caused anger in the coastal resort near the Italian capital was rated the second ugliest seaside town in Europe by travel writer Tim Jepson who admitted that he had not been there for years "When I lived in Rome the temptation during broiling summers was to head to the beach" - Jepson writes - "Though not for a week in glorious Sardinia foolish and poor – for a day trip to the city’s “local” beach Jepson notes that while the sand at least looked "more or less OK decrying the "ranks of modern apartment blocks as a backdrop The writer concludes with: "Perhaps the water is better these days: I’ve never dared go back." the unflattering review in The Telegraph sparked an outcry in Ostia as well as among Romans who spend their summer days there The backlash online was largely against Jepson's viewpoint however there were also some who agreed with his assessment president of Rome's X borough which includes Ostia saying he felt obliged to "strongly defend the extraordinary beauty and uniqueness of our territory" noting that the Italian environmental agency ARPA had certified Ostia's water quality as "excellent" for the third year in a row Falconi also drew attention to the unique archaeological heritage of Ostia Antica that attracts visitors from all over the world "The sensational rankings and the clickbait titles do not tell the reality: the sea of Ostia is a place to experience discover and love" - Falconi said - "We do not and will never accept false labels created by those who artfully distort reality!" In The Telegraph's ranking of Europe's ugliest seaside towns Ostia was flanked by Monaco in first place and the Croatian resort of Ploče in third place while the accolade of "prettiest seaside town in

World Wide LTD Network The investigations of the Carabinieri of the Investigative Unit of Ostia began after the arrest of Claudio Corelli found in possession of 220 grams of cocaine By delegation of the DDA of the Rome Public Prosecutor's Office the Carabinieri of the Ostia Group are executing an order of criminal association aimed at drug trafficking dealing and international drug trafficking The investigations of the Carabinieri of the Ostia Investigative Unit coordinated by the Public Prosecutor's Office started after the arrest of Claudio Corelli have allowed us to collect serious circumstantial evidence regarding the existence of a criminal organization dedicated to the importation of large quantities of cocaine from Holland to the capital for a turnover of millions of euros The military reconstructed in detail the operating methods of the criminal association which allegedly guaranteed the distribution of drugs on a large scale throughout Lazio and also in other Italian regions using extremely sophisticated supply methods to evade police controls the Carabinieri of Ostia arrested 9 people in flagrante delicto for a value of approximately 1,5 million euros believed to be the proceeds of illegal activities with large quantities of cocaine: the first was intercepted in May 2022 aboard a Ford Transit vehicle carrying 19 one-kilogram blocks of cocaine hidden in special compartments created in a double bottom; the second stopped driving a Citroen Jumper with 8 kg of cocaine hidden in the spare wheel; the third aboard a Toyota Rav 4 carrying 4 kg of cocaine and over 130 thousand euros in cash What is assumed to be a criminal organization had a solid and well-defined pyramid structure on the basis of the serious circumstantial evidence collected capable of coordinating a heterogeneous group of collaborators including the couriers responsible for transporting the drugs and the so-called "rette" concealment and sale of the narcotics; among those under investigation were also some women seriously suspected of holding strategic roles within the organization Read also other news on Nova News Click here and receive updates on WhatsApp Follow us on the social channels of Nova News on Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Telegram When I have to choose a place to go to eat I hardly trust restaurants that shuffle the offerings unless they are those old trattorias-pizzerias with which Rome grew up and which sometimes tear me away with a nostalgic desire to feel part of that history the ones you ask friends by trade and whom you trust and that is how I find myself in Ostia at Royalbeef it is a restaurant dedicated to meat that the Larosa family opens just steps from the sea in Ostia to overcome the (scarce) supply of seafood cuisine in a seaside neighborhood Giuseppe Domenico leads the way in the steakhouse and boasts sizes and cured meats that go beyond the family's meats embracing a valuable selection that combines Italy and today the sign reads Royalbeef x Splendori Pizza Alessandro and Giuseppe Domenico meet in their neighborhood giving value to an urban fabric that matters more than where you dreamed of escaping as a child and Alessandro is looking for a place to express that desire born in 2017 to be a pizza maker along with all the experience gained especially from one of the best pizza makers in Italy As in the best stories this meeting becomes the beginning of an adventure that if on the one hand mixes two offers united by the spirit of informality on the other hand binds two passions and two professionals who have a desire to emerge and the menu offers from cured meats made with family-raised Nebrodi Black pig to cuts of Piedmontese Fassona A good place to eat meat for more than a decade with an eclectic and somewhat kitschy style that puts together Super Mario and fluorescent colors is the new style that comes to the plate following the school of the Roman tonda with a dough that in the flours finds a consistency capable of holding the gastronomic level of the toppings without ever giving in while remaining light There are things about all of them that are striking and that I think are worth trying at Royalbeef x Splendori Pizza breaks the ice of appetite with great style and the Gyoza (which I would sear on the grill) of coda alla vaccinara has a really good filling and sauce served in the hand on a stick and held together by cornflakes that make it easy to shape and fry Mustard and bbq sauce wrap up a series of bites you wish were more there is a Bufala with a very thin dough that brings to the table a mozzarella that is certainly fresh Alessandro's intent is to take the great Sunday classics and bring them on the dough that he masters with great technique you will find many special pizzas that here are called Royal (and there are 11 of them) dedicated to first or second courses of regional gastronomic tradition Potatoes and Provola comes out with potato béchamel It is a bite that you expect to be saturated in the fatty flavor components and instead remains elegant without losing the thread of an original and rewarding overall flavor the pineapple and bell bell pepper gels (great looking by the way but perhaps a hair too much) to create a contrast of acidity sweetness and freshness in a clean whole on the palate with the toasted sesame finally bringing you back to the world of pizza and baking A pizza that I would gobble up right after the Magnum and without going through the gate on those days when you need to find comfort in good things to eat with satisfaction In extremis comes a dessert challenge with a “ 4 mountain cheeses ” (cave pecorino It is served with a red fruit gel that lacks a bit of acidity but it makes a good contrast with the intended strength in the final flavor that really tastes of the mountains and sweetness pushed toward vegetal acidities and in this case the Tiramisu leaves no room for doubt about the sugary sweetness of a great classic mascarpone cream juicy thanks to a balanced marbling and with really good vegetable-flavored fat More than two months of maturation and a rare cooked cut that alternates between embers iron and pasture to give delight to the palate of those who really love meat informal service has the ability to make you feel at home schools facing the sea and breezes that turn the seasons of those who Rome has always seen it from afar continues to be a landmark for lovers of meat and the cuts that enhance it through national and international selections Splendori has great dough on its hands and a good gastronomic vision to be handled with care and without haste with about sixty seats that in season expand with the outside sure in summer it will be a little difficult to park but that traffic circle by the sea is always worth a lookout Phone: 328 961 7581 Instagram Do you want to discover the latest news and recipes of the most renowned chefs and restaurants in the

located in a quaint bay and has clear water a great little hole-in-the-wall for a quick takeaway lunch (beneath the Gigi Bar on the boardwalk) and plenty of lounge chairs There is a small public area to lay out your towel How to get here: Take the train from any major station in Rome (Roma Termini Trastevere or San Pietro) to Santa Marinella The walk from the station to the beach takes about five to 10 minutes for a beach with a castle Another great option is Santa Severa making for a very photogenic bathing experience and some hidden rocky alcoves that lie just behind it There is a delightful restaurant right on the beach for a lunch of fresh fish or a sunset spritz The beach is a 20-minute walk from the station for the closest beach to Rome Ostia is the closest beach to Rome and features many stabilimenti (which require a membership to enter) along the boardwalk Although Ostia is the quickest option from the city you’ll be rewarded with clearer water and cleaner sand as you head farther away from the capital check out the Cancelli: a series of numbered beaches with sand dunes (you’ll need to catch the 07 bus to arrive) Sign up to our newsletter to save up to $800 on our unique trips See privacy policy How to get here: Take the Metro B to Piramide and then follow the signs for the trains to Roma-Lido (up the escalator and to the left) Make sure to get off at Lido Centro and not Ostia Antica Fregene, for a trendy crowd Just north of Ostia lies Fregene, a slightly cleaner and hipper beach. It’s a favourite with the trendy crowd of northern Rome and offers splendid evening aperitivi at the Singita Miracle Beach Club where cushions are strewn all over the beach and a ceremonial gong is hit when the sun goes down How to get here: Take the Metro A to the Cornelia stop (direction Battistini) hop in one of the small buses that go to Fregene Ladispoli is another safe bet north of Rome: with its long coastline you’re always sure to find ample room to lay your towel and it’s only a short train ride from Rome If you enjoy spending time at the beach during the offseason be sure to check out the artichoke festival that takes place here during the second week of April each year How to get here: Take the train from most stations in Rome to Cerveteri-Ladispoli The beach is a 15-minute walk from the station How to get here: Take a train from Roma Termini to Fondi-Sperlonga a city best known for being the site of the landing of Allied forces during World War II and the Battle of Anzio This beach gateway has beautiful water (it has been awarded the Bandiera Blu water quality and sustainable management of beaches in 48 countries around the world) and the ruins of Emperor Nero’s ancient villa make for a delightful backdrop How to get here: Take the train from Roma Termini to Anzio The walk from the station to the beach takes about 15 to 20 minutes for escaping the crowds Continuing further south is Sabaudia a city characterised by its fascist architecture This beach is also recognised with the Bandiera Blu award and is less crowded than many others because the train doesn’t stop directly in the town The extra effort to get here will seem worth it when you see the clear water and expansive beach take the train to Priverno-Fossanova and then a Cotral bus to Sabaudia climb down the wooden stairways to the beach Caleb Miller / Unsplash Italy Trips and Tours Researching ahead of a visit to the Italian capital culture-packed city breaks or a healthy mix of both we’ve got all kinds of itineraries to choose from in our collection of multi-day tours in Italy Livia Hengel is an Italian-American writer photographer and traveler with a penchant for la dolce vita and a severe case of wanderlust she spent her life living around the world in Peru Turkey and the US before moving back to her city of birth She is passionate about all things cultural stirring and beautiful and is happiest when she is contemplating human nature over a glass of wine or wandering off-the-beaten-path in a new city you can find Livia eating her way through the best restaurants in Rome or keeping up with Instagram Livia is the author of The HUNT Guide for Rome and also contributes to Spotted by Locals Guides & Tips This Is Europe's Ultimate Road Trip Guides & Tips The Best European Cities to Visit in December Guides & Tips Beat the Crowds with these Alternative Summer Destinations Art A Tour of Bernini's Masterpieces in Rome See & Do The Best European Cities to Visit in October See & Do The Best European Cities to Visit in Summer See & Do The Best European Cities to Visit in September See & Do The Best European Cities to Visit in Autumn See & Do The Best European Cities to Visit in July See & Do The Best Hiking Trails in Italy Guides & Tips A Guide to the 5 Most Dazzling Views in Catania Guides & Tips The Best European Cities to Visit in November US: +1 (678) 967 4965 | UK: +44 (0)1630 35000 tripssupport@theculturetrip.com © Copyright 2025 The Culture Trip Ltd Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon We help you navigate a myriad of possibilities Sign up for our newsletter for the best of the city By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news Sign up for our email to enjoy your city without spending a thing (as well as some options when you’re feeling flush) Our newsletter hand-delivers the best bits to your inbox Sign up to unlock our digital magazines and also receive the latest news By entering your email address you agree to our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy and consent to receive emails from Time Out about news, events, offers and partner promotions.

Look out for your first newsletter in your inbox soon! About us Contact us the beach might not be the first thing that springs to mind on your Roman getaway But a trip to Rome isn’t just a city break There are stretches of sand that are easy to reach from the city and make for the perfect day trip If you’ve got the time and you’re in Rome for more than a long weekend change up the pace of your trip with a visit to the beach Rest your feet from all that walking by paddling in the ocean and dipping your toes in the sand Enjoy an aperitivo with sea views or tuck into tasty seafood caught metres from where you’re sitting And let the kids build their own versions of Rome’s famous landmarks in the sand With many of Rome’s beaches less than an hour away by public transport it’s easy to take a day trip out of the city for sea Before you decide on your beach and depart the city If you want to hang out with the bright young things of Rome and even spot a minor celebrity If you still want some more Roman history after your time in the city beeline to Terracina for a crumbling Roman temple and epic views or Anzio for its ancient Roman villa whilst Sabaudia promises the widest stretch of free beach you’ll find on a day trip from Rome they are split between spiagge libere (free beach) and stabilimenti where you’ll be charged for sunbeds and parasols just remember some beaches are dominated by stabilimenti so you may struggle to get a decent spot without having to pay Looking for a day at the beach away from the city Here are eight great beaches near Rome to pick from Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 8.5km Whilst it’s not the Italian beach of your dreams in the beauty stakes it’s super close to Rome and you’ll be there with just one direct 30-minute train Its proximity to Rome means it’s super popular with the locals so will likely fill up in the late afternoon when the after-work crowd gets here Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 57km This crescent-shaped beach has fine sand and warm waters There are fee-based stabilimenti everywhere so you’ll need to pay for a sun lounger and parasol but it’s par for the course in Italy This stretch of sand is also a popular spot for windsurfers there are two trains an hour leaving from Termini Station to Santa Marinella Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 68km Anzio brings the beach fun and the history too You’ll find the free section of beach at the foot of the ancient Villa Imperiale – which was once home to the Roman emperor Nero and many of his successors 20 minutes away is the Anzio Beachhead Museum dedicated to the Allied landing here in 1944 One train an hour leaves from Termini Station and takes around an hour Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 130km This blue flag beach brings beautiful views The sand is a gorgeous golden and the waters are clear and warm with a whitewashed city backing the beach and a small harbour The journey from Rome takes around 90 minutes including both train and bus so it’s a better option to stay over rather than a day trip Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 15.5km If you’re looking for a party spot on your Roman beach day it still attracts a crowd of bright young things from Rome Some of the stabilimenti are more upmarket than nearby Ostia Stay for aperitivo and even stick around after sundown to see some of the coolest players from Rome Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 97km this is the place to head if you want to avoid the stabilimenti and enjoy wide stretches of open free beach – something that doesn’t happen often on the beaches near Rome Dunes back the beach with expensive villas overlooking the sands plus the area is also known for its Mussolini-era architecture Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 147km Easily accessible by train and bus – or a hire car – from Rome Gaeta has a blue flag beach with a quaint medieval town to explore too It’s one of the most accessible beaches in the area and a great option for families The sand is golden and the entrance to the water is shallow – there are no rocks either Leonardo da Vinci-Fiumicino Airport: approximately 111km Terracina is easy to get to by train and bus And the stunning setting is well worth the trip The Romans built a temple to Jupiter on this site and the ruins remain today – you can hike up to the top for epic coastal views The historical centre is worth a visit too Visit during weekdays to avoid the busy weekend crowds Wear hats and suncream in the intense Mediterranean sun When you’ve got more than a few days in Rome treat yourself and join the locals for a day at the beach Then you’ll be energised ready to get back to sightseeing in the hustle and bustle of this fantastic city Thinking of traveling to Rome? Skyscanner can help you find the best flights, hotels and car rental deals for your next trip Please enable JS and disable any ad blocker By Elyssa Bernard Did you know you can easily reach the beach from Rome in less than an hour Typically, visitors don't come to Rome to go to the beach But when summer heats up, I find people, especially families with young children start asking about how to get to the beach from Rome Rome is not far from the coast so you have plenty of options for easily visiting a beach from here.  Click here to see my Google map with all the Rome beaches listed here plus any other relevant places in each spot In Italy (and in many other countries in Europe) it's fairly common to pay to use the beach You can almost always find part of a given beach that is spiaggia libera When I first started visiting European beaches in my back-packing student days I was surprised to find that most of the beach was occupied by lawn chairs and umbrellas Coming from Florida I was used to long stretches of sand and surf it means you don't have to haul a lot of stuff with you when you come to the beach You can just pay for a big umbrella and comfy lounge chair when it comes to the more nicely-equipped of these stabilimenti I think many Italians find it's worth paying to have a calmer And they like having the services of an on-site shower In fact, a lot of Italians pay for a year-round pass to their favorite establishment, making it a kind of exclusive club (anyone can join, it's only about money) So you'll need to decide if you want to pay (rates vary by beach knowing you'll need to bring your own mat/towel/chair etc Costs and What You Can Expect To Pay at Rome Beaches It will cost around 10€ and up for the all-day use of an umbrella and one chair At some locations you can also rent a private changing cabin which gives you access to the showers and pool spots closest to the water are often reserved for the full-time members of a given establishment Save on data charges with plans from just 19€ from Holafly - our recommended eSIM provider - click here to find out more.  Following are my favorite Rome beaches in order of easiest to reach The closest beach to Rome, and the easiest to get to, is Ostia Most Romans will tell you this is not the nicest of the Rome beaches but it is where many of them go just the same If you flew into Rome, you may have landed at Fiumicino airport which is just a little north of this beach But you can also look for the free beaches in between or go further south to the free-entry cancelli (see below for how to get there) Ostia is actually part of the municipality of Rome, so the same ATAC bus/train tickets are valid here You can use the same ticket you used to arrive in Ostia to get on one of the buses that goes up and down the beach road as long as the time has not expired (100 minutes from the time you first validated it) as it may be hard to find a place to buy them once you are there How to get there: Take the Rome Metro Blue Line B to Piramide using the same ticket that you used for the Metro take the Ostia-Lido train (about half hour) There is only one direction from the Piramide station Get off at Ostia Lido Centro (not to be confused with Ostia Antica unless you want to spend a couple of hours visiting these incredible ruins - which I do recommend either for another day as a half-day visit if you only want a half day at the beach).  you can simply walk from the station to the beach Instead of getting off at Ostia Lido Centro stay on the train until the very last stop you can see quite a lot of (fee-based) beach clubs 061 or 062 buses (they run about every 15 minutes) you'll have access to plenty of free beach space Planning to travel between cities in Italy and other parts of Europe Use Trainline to see all the different options available across the different rail companies and self-catering apartments in neighborhoods throughout the Eternal City Purchase the convenient Turbopass and visit all of Rome's top attractions including the Colosseum This is another beach near Rome that is very easy to reach with one train ride The train takes you from Termini right to the center of Santa Marinella in under an hour and the beach is about a 10 minute walk from there I love Santa Marinella as it has a family-friendly feel It's not as loud as some other Rome beaches and lacks that party atmosphere Above is a video of a day trip I took to Santa Marinella in winter How to get there: Hop on the local train from any of Rome's train stations Marinella (the "S"of Santa is abbreviated) The trip costs around 10€ and takes just over an hour Follow the other bathing-suit clad people getting off the train and you will arrive at the beach in about 5-10 minutes' walk Fregene is slightly further north than Ostia so it's still one of the Rome beaches that's close and relatively easy to reach It can get pretty chaotic on a weekend summer night We love staying until sunset and enjoying a yummy seafood dinner at La Scialuppa How to get there: Take the "Pisa - Livorno - Grosseto" train from Rome Termini to  Maccarese (around half an hour From the Maccarese station you can wait for the hourly bus to pass  🔐 Peace of mind for your travels 🧳 Have you organized your travel insurance yet Getting cover in place to protect against unforeseen circumstances should be at the top of your planning list so you can relax and enjoy your travels fully.  Check out our recommended travel insurance now Santa Severa is the beach just before Santa Marinella and also because the beach is mostly spiaggia libera (free) How to get there: Take a regional train from any of Rome's main train stations There is something about the wild and free nature of Sabaudia that just grabs me.  you have just a very long strip of sand and beach and few stabilimenti (fee-based beach clubs.) This also means there are a lot fewer services and places to eat than you will find at the other Rome beaches the other side of the road is just marshland A friend of mine visiting from Brazil actually said to me that the water reminded her of beaches in Brazil How to get there: Take the regional train from Rome Termini towards Naples Make sure one of the stops will be Priverno Fossanova you can walk to the beach about 15-20 minutes Trying to figure out how to organize your visit to Rome I've got the perfect 3-day itinerary for first-time visitors (or those who have not been here in a while.) It works for a 2.5 day visit as well or want suggestions for extra/other things to do Visit my page with the best 3-day itinerary in Rome for first-timers Anzio is about an hour from Rome's city center is very easily accessible by train for a mere 7€ round trip I used to think of Anzio more as a port city or fishing village.  And of course it is well known as the site of the Allied Forces' landing in World War II The American Cemetery is not far from Anzio You can opt for an excellent full-day tour from Rome, that includes the cemetery and much more.  The beach in Anzio is divided into a small free area and a bigger private area that charges admission The beach itself is flanked by a rocky landscape dotted with Roman ruins from the time of the Emperor Nero (who was from here) How to get there: Take a regional train from Termini station to Anzio Many locals agree that Sperlonga is one of the prettiest of the Rome beaches even if it's really time-consuming to get to In fact, you might even want to stay for a couple of days One of the nicest things about Sperlonga is the pretty town the beach is in It's worth visiting all by itself for the cute tiny streets This is one of those Rome beaches you can visit in winter Option 1 - Take a regional train from Rome Termini (and other stations) The train takes about an hour and costs about 20 Euros one way Option 2 - Catch a train from Roma Termini to Fondi-Sperlonga These buses come sort of sporadically, so you should check timetables in advance (site in Italian only) or perhaps spring for a taxi from the Fondi station (around 20-25€) Ponza is probably the farthest of the Rome beaches but absolutely worth the effort it takes to get there Ponza is an island not far off the coast near Rome, and while you can visit it as a day trip, you may want to consider spending a day or two there Since my pal Gillian goes there often, she has a lot of writeups on her blog How to get there: You'll need to take a train to one of the towns south of Rome (Terracina and then take a hydrofoil or ferry to Ponza You can also book a day-long tour Disclosure: If you make a purchase through a link on this page I may receive a small commission - at no extra cost to you Maybe when you were thinking about Rome beaches the idea of a lake did not immediately come to mind But visiting one of the lakes near Rome can be a wonderful Below are the two easiest lakes to get to: flat walking path that loops around the whole thing (maybe a 2-hour walk max) Castel Gandolfo, the summer home and gardens of the Pope If you go on your own, you might want to opt for a romantic, and delicious, lunch or dinner at the famed Ristorante Pagnanelli where you can enjoy amazing lake-views and first-rate cuisine For a step by step description of how you can spend a day visiting Castel Gandolfo, check out this blog post by Natalie of An American in Rome How to get there: Trains leave Rome Termini (and other stations) at least once an hour You can also take the scenic route along the Appian Way on a bike tour and glide around Lake Albano.

This park commemorates the place where Italian filmmaker, writer, and intellectual Pier Paolo Pasolini was murdered on November 2, 1975, in circumstances not entirely clear. In 2005 the Municipality of Rome turned it into a Literary Park,  with a stele in memory of the tragic event, surrounded by quotes from Pasolini's poetry. The park is managed by the Italian Bird Protection League (LIPU), so it has become a spot frequently visited by Pasolini's fans and birdwatchers alike.  The park is open every day from 9 a.m. to sunset, with direct access from Via dell'Idroscalo. Easily reachable on public transportation from Rome Termini or Piramide Station. A quiet nook at the top of a little-known hilltop park named after California's first poet laureate. This park commemorates the birthplace and legacy of the brothers who authored a song that has come to be known as the Black National Anthem. A fantastical glow-in-the-dark mural inspired by the city’s most famous writer, Kenji Miyazawa. This sculpture memorializes the town's connection to the famous horror author Edgar Allan Poe. Quotes and poems etched on stone plaques are hidden along this waterfront walkway. The longtime home of author Stetson Kennedy, this park counts Woody Guthrie as a former resident. The famed poet was born in 1819 in a farmhouse built by his father. This mosaic made out of books represents one of Colonial Mexico's most important literary figures. We’re coming back to Rome!

It is a territory to be explored that hides dozens of treasures, an opportunity to immerse yourself in the green and often uncontaminated and mysterious nature of Puglia. The Ofanto river has been an important presence in Italy since ancient Roman times and with its 170 kilometres it is the longest river to flow into the Adriatic, crossing three regions. However, it is in Puglia that it hides its best treasures, gathered in the Regional Nature Park which embraces 11 Apulian municipalities. The Ofanto River Regional Natural Park was established in 2007 and is a protected natural area that encloses an incredible natural value. The river and its surroundings can offer numerous specimens of local poplars and oaks to the animals found here in their natural habitat for a full immersion in Italian nature. Inside the park, you can carry out various outdoor activities both as a tourist and as a sportsman, such as long excursions on horseback, up to canoe and kayak trips along the river.  Perhaps the most interesting project, however, is the Ofanto Cycle Route, recently completed in its Apulian section. This is a cycle path that accompanies the Ofanto river on its journey and allows visitors to explore the park through themed itineraries, in a respectful exchange between man and nature, in a respectful exchange between man and nature. South of Rome is one of the pearls of Lazio and Italy as a whole, Lido di Ostia or simply Ostia. It is a place that extends the beauty and historical and cultural grandeur of Rome to the sea, maintaining and enhancing its cultural identity. Its foundation dates back to the reign of Anco Marzio when it was transformed from a strategic military base of the kingdom of Rome into a tourist and commercial centre of the Roman Empire. However, Ostia is famous, above all for Ostia Antica, the centre built in the 4th century BC, which together with Pompeii is the largest archaeological site in Europe. Currently just under half of the ancient city has been brought to light with the baths of Neptune and the necropolis that are the masters, together with the baths of the Sette Sapienti and the wonderful Roman theatre, which could accommodate 4000 people. The next destination, not to be missed, we suggest is Altamura, famous all over the world for its bread. It is a city where the environment, culture and gastronomic tradition intertwine in a vortex of rare and unique beauty. A destination that offers many different types of ideas and which can change according to your preferences. Another attraction is the Caves of Altamura where the remains of a Neanderthal man were found. The famous man of Altamura has a date of about 130-190 thousand years ago.

The online social campaign promoted by the village itself has led it to be one of the most sought-after destinations by Italians in recent years and even in 2023 it is a destination not to be missed. The seaside village is waiting to be discovered with the colourful historic centre, divided in two by a row of ancient sails that colour the Leonardo Porto Canale. A village of sailors and fishermen that still retains the colours of the houses and the particular character that the village of good living can offer. Cesenatico is the ideal destination for a beach holiday on the Adriatic coast with wide beaches full of attractions for children, camping enthusiasts and water games. Orvieto is one of the oldest and most visited cities in Italy. It has very ancient origins but is famous for its morphological and architectural beauty, for these reasons in recent years, it has been the destination of many tourists who have made it a real social media star with hundreds of posts dedicated to this small village perched on the ridge of tuff in the middle of Umbria Despite these characteristics, the merit of Orvieto's fame is mainly due to the magnificent Cathedral homonym. It is an example of Romanesque-Gothic architecture, very rich in works of art, which houses the Sacred Corporal inside. But there are also many other attractions such as the well of San Patrizio, an incredible work of civil engineering from the sixteenth century. In 2022 Chioggia was included by the New York Times among the must-see destinations in Italy as an alternative, or even privileged, destination compared to its bigger and more famous sister, Venice. The small lagoon city is considered the "Little Venice" and it is a beautiful reality.
