Ancient Ostia
Every Friday and Sunday Morning - Approx. 4 hours
From April 1st to October 31st 2016
(minimum 6 persons)
Situated amongst cypress and Mediterranean pine trees, the ruins of the port of ancient
Rome reveal more than any other monument in the capital, what everyday life must have
been like in ancient times.
Leaving Rome and following the road leading to the sea, Via del Mare, it takes about 30
minutes to reach Ostia, the Roman city of the Imperial age whose Latin name ‘Ostium’
means ‘mouth of the river’, reflecting its position along the Tiber river. Ostia was founded around the 4th century BC by King Anco Marzio and became the harbour of Rome
around which, throughout the following centuries, a flourishing trade and business centre developed. Following the Barbarian invasions, the decline of Ostia began when the
port was abandoned and became silted up. The archaeolgical excavations undertaken at
the beginning of the XIX century have brought the ancient city back to light, a rare witness to 900 years of Roman civilization. During your walk through the ruins, your guide
will tell you something about the cultural and social life of this interesting commercial
settlement. Your visit to Ostia Antica itself starts at ‘Via delle Tombe’ which leads to the
‘Porta Romana’, one of the city’s three gates. This is the beginning of the ‘Decumanus
Maximus’, the main thoroughfare that crosses the city from north east to south west.
Then you will arrive at the ‘Terme di Nettuno’ where you can admire the beautiful black
and white mosaics representing Neptune and Amphitrite, the theatre built by Agrippa
and the Forum which formed the centre of the city. Here you will discover the principle
public buildings, ‘Il Capitolium’ and the temple of Rome and Augustus, the Basilica and
the large thermal baths. Near the forum square you will also find the House of Diana and
the ‘Thermopolium’ an ancient Roman bar with a marble counter and a fresco depicting
the fruit and foodstuffs that were sold there. At the end of Via dei Dipinti, the Museo
Ostiense displays some of the ancient sculptures and mosaics found among the ruins.

Full day - Approx. 13 hours
Capri, situated in the Gulf of Naples, surrounded by an emerald and turquoise sea, is
often called the pearl of the Mediterranean. This Island of Dreams has enchanted many
people with the incomparable beauty of its rugged landscape, the mildness of its climate,
the richness of its vegetation and its characteristic small white houses.
Leaving Rome in a southerly direction you take the “Highway of the Sun” crossing the
fertile Roman countryside and the area known as “Castelli Romani”. Approximately
halfway along the highway you will be able to see the Benedictin Abbey of
Montecassino, noted for the famous battle and its complete destruction during the
Second World War. Arriving in Naples you will board the jet boat for the 45 minute
crossing to Marina Grande, the port of Capri. Here you will then board motorboats to
reach the Blue Grotto optional visit (if weather and sea conditions permit). Minibuses
are then used for a panoramic drive to reach Anacapri, situated at 280 metres above
sea level from where you will have a wonderful view of the Bay of Naples. After lunch
in a local restaurant, you will have some free time to take unforgettable photographs
and purchase local products before returning to Marina Grande to board the boat back
to Naples. Entering the port of Naples, don’t miss this opportunity to admire the splendid Maschio Angioino (a fortress of the 12th century), the Certosa of San Martino and
the Royal Palace. After disembarking you will then take the coach for the return journey of approx. 3 hours, back to Rome. Return to the vicinity of your hotel.
USEFUL INFORMATION: During the journey from Rome to Naples, it will not always
be possible to make a comfort stop, but the boats for Capri have bar and restroom
facilities. We would recommend that you wear comfortable clothes and especially
comfortable shoes to assist you when boarding the boats. During high season
there may be delays in boarding the boats and minibuses and we ask you to pay
particular attention to your guide to avoid getting separated from your group.
N.B. If the sea conditions are so bad as to not permit the boats to leave from
Naples to Capri, it will be necessary to substitute this tour with the tour of
Pompeii (tour 15) and the difference in price will be reimbursed.

Naples - Pompeii
Every day (except Dec. 25th and Jan. 1st)
Full day - Approx. 13 hours
A journey to discover art, history, folklore and archaeology in one of the most typical
regions of southern Italy.
Leaving Rome in a southerly direction, we take the “Highway of the Sun” crossing the
fertile Roman countryside through the area known as the ‘Castelli Romani’.
Approximately halfway along the highway, you will be able to see the Abbey of
Montecassino, noted for its famous battle and complete destruction during the Second
World War.
Descending towards the port of Mergellina and following the coastal road, we arrive in
the ancient fishing quarter of Santa Lucia and see the impressive Castel dell’Ovo.
Upon leaving the city, we cross the fertile valley of Mount Vesuvius, passing the towns
of Ercolano, Torre del Greco and Torre Annunziata before finally arriving at Pompeii,
where we stop first for lunch. After that we will visit the excavations on foot with a
local guide on an archaeological journey through the ancient city. In approx. 2 hours
you will see some of what has been discovered in more than 1,700 years since Pompeii
was covered by ashes during the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79 AD. Through the
remains and ruins of this ancient city, we can picture the everyday life of the Imperial
Age and imagine the panic felt by the people in those last few minutes before the city
was so disastrously buried. At the end of the visit to Pompeii we will return to the
coach for a journey of approx. 3 hours back to Rome.
During this excursion we will visit a coral and cameo factory where we will have the
opportunity to admire and purchase items of this ancient craft that dates back to Greek
times.
USEFUL INFORMATION: We suggest that you wear comfortable clothes and shoes
for this excursion, and to wear sunglasses and sun hat in the summer months.
