Shore Excursion from Civitavecchia Port to Ostia & Cerveteri with Private Driver

This day excursion is designed for those who wish to go back in to the ancient times by visiting Ostia, with a private guide and Cerveteri, one of the most important Etruscan sites in the world.

1. 1

   Ostia Antica

   2 hours

   Nowadays, Ostia Antica is a large archaeological site. Located just 19 miles (30 km) west of Rome and on the River Tiber. During ancient Rome it was one of the most thriving cities in the region thanks to its status as Rome’s harbour city. After the collapse of the Empire, the city fell into decadence, was eventually abandoned and remained untouched and magnificently preserved for centuries. Admission not included.

2. 2

   Parco Archeologico di Ostia Antica

   2 hours

   The archaeological site still houses the remains of most of the city’s buildings before it was abandoned. Ostia’s main arterial street, called Decumanus Maximus in Roman cities, cuts through the whole city, while the arcades on both sides of the street show the houses and shops which once thrived here. There are also taverns, inns, shops, public baths and a large reconstructed theatre, which is still used during the summer. The harbour city had a very cosmopolitan population, visible thanks to a Jewish synagogue, a Christian Basilica and the 18 temples dedicated to the Persian god Mithra.

3. 3

   Cerveteri

   2 hours

   A quiet provincial town 35km northwest of Rome, Cerveteri is home to one of Italy's great Etruscan treasures – the Necropoli di Banditaccia. This ancient burial complex, now a Unesco World Heritage Site, is all that remains of the formidable Etruscan city that once stood here.
