Once it was just a maritime quarter of Rome, and now it is a city with its own infrastructure, a beach area. In the east of Ostia there is such a famous beach as Battistini. It was created back in 1911, and Kursaal is also located here, where a modern springboard was built. The western part of Ostia can be reached from Rome by rail from Pyramid Square.

The beaches of Lazio (Latium)
This region is located Rome, the capital of Italy, so Lazio cannot complain about the lack of attention from tourists. Pilgrimage here does not stop all year round. Despite the fact that travelers are attracted to Lazio, first of all, by cultural and historical values, the region can also offer guests thermal springs and beautiful sea and freshwater beaches. The coastline of Lazio is quite interesting and varied in relief. It consists of long beaches and picturesque reefs.
The most popular beach in Rome - Ostia(Ostia), always full of vacationers, so it's better to get a little away from the capital and get to Anzio(Anzio), lying among the gently sloping sand dunes.
The most amazing part of the coast Circeo National Park(Circeo National Park). The park has several freshwater lakes surrounded by oak forests. Closer to the sea, forests give way to sandy beaches that offer stunning views of the islands. Pontine(Pontine Islands), among which are the famous resort islands Ponza(Ponza) and Ventotene(Ventotene). All the islands in the archipelago are of volcanic origin, bizarre grottoes and unusual underwater formations make them an ideal place for diving enthusiasts. The island of Ponza has a unique beach Gaia di Luna(Ghiaia di Luna), the path to which lies through a long tunnel built by the ancient Romans. Fragments of ancient vessels and tools are still found in the walls of the tunnel.
Another interesting place in Lazio - seaside towns Terracina(Terracina) Sperlonga(Sperlonga) and Gaeta(Gaeta), which have also become attractive seaside resorts in recent years.
sandy beaches Terracina stretch along the sea for 5 km. These places have been a favorite summer holiday destination for the Romans since antiquity. And today the majority of vacationers in Terracina are Italians.
Sperlonga famous since ancient times: the emperor Tiberius loved her, and the remains of his villa still tower on the hill. In addition, the emperor was a noble swimmer, next to Sperlonga there is an impressive grotto named after him. To visit here and not swim to the grotto is to waste time in vain. In general, Sperlonga is an ideal place for those who would like to combine a quiet beach holiday with an excursion to Rome, which is less than an hour away by train.
Gaeta located on a small, rather narrow cape and thanks to this, it seems as if the town literally soars above the water. There are several excellent rocky beaches around, not too crowded and surrounded by olive trees.
The area north of Rome is covered with ancient forests and includes three large volcanic lakes. lakes Bolsena(Bolsena) and Bracciano(Bracciano) is an excellent choice for those who are fond of water sports, but prefer fresh sea water. Lake Vico(Vico) is located in a nature reserve. The use of motor vehicles and motor boats is prohibited in its vicinity. Hiking, boating and horseback riding enthusiasts come here.
If you want to visit the sea in Italy, and just have a good vacation, you should pay attention to Lazio. There are not only excellent sea beaches, but also quite decent coasts near lakes and rivers. In addition, Italy, and Lazio in particular, is very rich in historical sites and sights, so there is definitely something to see here.
Where is?
Lazio (Italy) is a large region located in the central part of the country. Its capital is also located in it - the great city of Rome with many temples, cathedrals, fortresses, terms and other historical sights.
The total area is more than 17 thousand km2. The territory runs along the Apennine Mountains and the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea. In total, the region includes 5 provinces:
- Frosione.
- Latina.
- Rieti.
- Viterbo.
Also, the state of the Vatican is completely surrounded by the lands of Lazio.
How to get there?
Since Lazio is a region in central Italy, you can only get here by plane, which lands at the airport in Rome, or by car, having made a small rally. There is another option with the train, but due to transfers and the rather high cost of tickets, it is practically unsuitable for consideration. For Europeans, there are many more options available, such as cruise ships, trains, planes, buses and, of course, personal transport. Among the Italians themselves, there is even a saying that, they say, all roads lead to Rome.
Airplane
The easiest way to get to the center of Italy - Lazio - is by plane. You can fly from Moscow in just 3 hours 55 minutes, which, in principle, is not so much. The cost of a one-way ticket starts from 4,500 rubles, but, as a rule, these are flights with one or two transfers. For a direct flight, you need to pay a little more than a thousand on top. Basically, the basic price tag for a non-stop flight varies within a radius of 12-15 thousand rubles.
rally
Owners of a private car can also go to Italy, to Lazio, but you need to be prepared for the fact that the road will require considerable fuel costs. The journey from Moscow to Rome will take approximately 31 to 35 hours, excluding rest stops. It is also worth remembering that in Europe there are tolls on many roads, and the price for it is different everywhere, it all depends on the country.
As for the journey itself to this region in Italy (Lazio), after leaving Moscow, the path will pass through Belarus. Next, you need to drive through the territory of Poland, then the Czech Republic, Austria and, finally, Italy.
Description
It's time to tell a little more about the central region of Italy - Lazio.
Its population is 5 million 870 thousand people, most of whom are immigrants from other countries. The main share falls, of course, on Rome. Over 4 million people live there.
The climate in the region is quite mild and favorable. The average air temperature in summer reaches 25-26 degrees Celsius. In winter, the thermometer does not fall below +9.
The main activity in the region is the service sector, which is quite logical. Every year, the capital of Italy - Rome, which is located in Lazio - is visited by more than 7 million people, and in order to ensure a comfortable stay, it is necessary to create high-quality conditions. The biggest tourist boom came in 2012, when more than 40 million tourists visited these places.
Agriculture is also very well developed in Lazio. Preference, of course, is given to the cultivation of olives and grapes, from which Italian fine wines are made.
Housing and prices
Another rather serious issue that should be paid attention to is accommodation in Lazio. As mentioned earlier, the region consists of 5 provinces. Accordingly, in order to find a more profitable and interesting offer, it is worth considering all the options. More on this below.
Rome
It is located in the northern part of Rome. All rooms are equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi and furnished. There is a private bathroom with all amenities. There is also a bar and a shared terrace where you can sunbathe.
As for the price, a classic double room for 10 days will cost 18 thousand rubles, and this is without taking into account the city tax of 3 euros per night per person. Thus, if you rest alone, then another 30 euros will have to be added to 18 thousand, and if together, then this is already 60 euros.
Frosione
Living in Frosion will be something similar to Rome. The conditions and service here are about the same, but the price tag is slightly higher. For a double room with a huge bed and all the amenities at the Waterfall B & B, including a separate dining area and kitchenette, they ask for a little more than 2000 rubles. per night. Rest for 10 days will cost 21,842 rubles. and you don't have to pay any city taxes.
Latina
The city of Latina attracts vacationers primarily with a relaxing holiday, classic Italian cuisine and the sea coast. Prices here are much higher than in Rome. So, for a ten-day vacation in a breakfast + bed hotel with all possible amenities, you will have to pay almost 39 thousand rubles. In fairness, it should be noted that although this is a budget option, the service and comfort at the hotel are at a very high level. There are even electric blankets.
Rieti
Rieti can offer tourists gourmet cuisine, a quiet and relaxing holiday, and the opportunity to admire the old town. Rieti, by the way, has the smallest number of people compared to the other four provinces. However, this does not lower the price.
The Priscilla B&B is very popular with tourists and has the lowest price tag of all available options at the time of writing. Rest for 10 days for two will cost 30 thousand rubles (15 thousand per person). For this amount, a king-size bed, air conditioning, a private bathroom, a kitchen, a seating area, TV, internet and more are available. The list, in general, is standard. Plus, every day you will have to pay a tax fee of one and a half euros per person.
Viterbo
Last option for today. Viterbo has an old town and many historical places, in fact, that's why they come here. The most popular and affordable option is the L "alfiere guest house. It is located just 3.5 km from the historical center in the city. Accommodation for 10 days will cost 26 thousand rubles. Plus a tax fee of 1 euro per night and another 1 euro per day for cleaning the room.In terms of amenities, there is everything you need and even more, for example, a coffee machine, a washing machine, a refrigerator, etc.
Based on all the above options, the most profitable place, in terms of living, is Rome, even taking into account the tax fee, but, as they say, everyone chooses what he likes best.
Recreation features
The main reason tourists come to Lazio is the sea. It is very warm in Italy in summer, it is a pleasure to relax by the sea on the beach. In addition to the sea, you can also go to one of the largest rivers - the Tiber, where there are also lovers of swimming in fresh water, but there are not so many of them. Yet the sea in Italy is more popular.
In addition, do not forget about the rich history of the country, its sights and architectural masterpieces. Some of the buildings are very old.
In general, the whole holiday goes like this. People taste classic food, swim, sunbathe, travel around the region from one province to another, enjoy the sights and go on excursions.
Attractions
In conclusion, I would like to separately talk about the most famous sights in Lazio, which you should definitely visit if you have the opportunity.
You should probably start with the Circeo National Park. It was founded by order of himself in 1934. The main goal was to preserve the remnants of the Pontic Marshes. Over time, the remains of Neanderthals and their tools began to be found there. The total area of the park is simply huge - 8.5 km2. In total, the Circeo National Park is divided into 5 zones: forest, cape, coastal dunes, swamps and the island of Zannone.
The second place is the great Colosseum, the construction of which began in 72 BC. e. This place needs no introduction, probably there is no such person who has never heard of it.
Next, be sure to visit the Pantheon. This temple was built in 27 BC. e. and is still the most significant object built in those days. Many architects to this day argue about how the dome of the temple was erected, because at that time it was extremely difficult to do this.
Since the territory of Lazio completely surrounds the state of the Vatican, you should definitely go to the Sistine Chapel and St. Peter's Basilica. The only thing worth remembering about the queues in some places.
Do not forget about the castle of Sant'Angelo, the Capitoline Hill, the Baths of Trajan and All this is no longer in the Vatican, if that.
Lazio is a treasure trove of historical sites and sights. Seeing everything in a short vacation is simply unrealistic, even taking into account excursions, although, on the other hand, this is probably the best option to date.
Actually, that's all. Have a nice trip!
