Open left menu Tyrrhenian coast. Italian seaside resorts: from Rome to Naples

It's time to talk about the place where we spent the next 8 days. This is the Tyrrhenian coast or the coast of Odysseus.
Actually - Anzio, this is a small provincial town, which is located 40 kilometers from Rome on the coast Tyrrhenian Sea. It was founded by the Trojans after their arrival in the region of Lazio, and almost immediately became an important commercial and cultural center of the region. According to legend, the foundation of Anzio is attributed to Atheus, the son of Odysseus and the Greek sorceress Circe.

From about 338g. BC. Anzio became the most popular holiday destination and settlement for wealthy Roman patricians. The city was built up with palaces, the villas of Cicero, Caius Lucretius, Caesar Augustus towered along the seashore. It was in Anzio that the most famous emperors of Ancient Rome, Caligula and Nero, were born. The city's seaport is named after Nero. The legendary villa of Nero, which has survived to this day, recalls the luxury of bygone times. In the days of the distant past, Anzio (Antium is the ancient Roman name of the city) was one of the best sea ​​resorts. The ancient philosopher Cicero wrote: "I prefer Anzio to Rome!"

Today's Anzio is a small residential town, consisting, as it were, of 2 parts.
In the first part is located directly the city and a small sea ​​port. The second part of the city is a tourist area, in which there are restaurants, bars, pubs, discos, nightclubs. Actually, we were in the second zone. A strip of wide sandy beaches with a total length of 12 km, framed by beautiful nature, stretches from the Villa of Nero to the Pine Villa (Villa dei Pini).
By the way, the Romans themselves usually come to modern Anzio for the weekend in order to take a break from the rhythms big city and enjoy the sea air and peace.

Last time, I already described the Beauty Rafael Hotel, where we lived. Pretty cute, we love it. Maybe also because on the day of check-in it was my birthday, and we were given one of the most the best rooms, with its own loggia-attic, living room and bedroom.
We enjoyed our dinner in the attic. In the evenings (as well as early in the morning) it was not hot there, but warm. And very beautiful. We watched the sunset and sunrise from there. Such interesting flowers grew in pots in the attic, their leaves folded at the top into a “bud”, like a rose. By the way, I took home a sprout, and it took root perfectly.

The beach on the coast of Anzio is sandy and clean. The sea is not just clean, it is the cleanest! The water is clear and calm (we did not have a chance to observe a storm). A lot of shells and small crabs scurrying everywhere.

Sunbeds and umbrellas - for the money. I don't even know how much it costs. We didn't use it.
On the coast it is very good to relax with small children. It's pretty shallow there. Moreover, the strand stretches for tens of meters from the shore. The water is very, very salty, so it literally throws the body up like a float. Swimming is so easy - a pleasure!

Not far from the coast there are some volcanic formations. Small islands with a pumice-like surface. There are especially many crabs here.

Italian kids here catch them with nets.

There are many grottoes and mini-caves on small islands.

Their surface is even more interesting. It is made from fossilized shells and molluscs. So interesting!

Loved the sunset in Anzio. While you are climbing up the stairs from the beach, the sun is just setting right in front of your eyes (and not slowly sinking, as in our country) beyond the horizon. Simply - plop! And there is none. Very cool.

The locals in Anzio are friendly and welcoming. Still - their business, for the most part, depends on tourists. The closer to the beach, the more expensive the food. It is worth going further, to larger supermarkets - the same thing, cheaper one and a half times.

The products are unique. I really liked the smoked meat and sausage. They sell them in big sizes. The diameter of the sausage circle is 30-50 cm. They are cut right there, on a special machine - as much as you ask. Same thing with meat. Taste is amazing. And no soy!

Wines are different. And cheaper and more expensive. When buying, pay attention to the label.
The best wines are labeled - DOCG (Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita). Actually, these very “control” and “guarantee” are worth looking for on the bottle if you are going to buy vintage wine. DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) - will be worse. But - also good. Russian tourists jokingly call these wines "control" without "guarantee". Next come the "ordinary" wines. Of the canteens, the best is IGT. Worse - VDT.

In general, in Italy you can buy wine even at a price of 2 euros for 2 liters. Of course, there is no time for markings. But among our tourists, even such wine goes with a bang. And no one seemed to complain. Even the cheapest wines were consumed without serious consequences in the morning. In any case, wine lovers from our group assured us of this.

Red Chianti is considered the best wine. Tourists often take Limoncello as a gift. "Limoncello" is considered something of a local exotic. Like we have vodka. It is quite strong, thick, viscous, similar to liquor.

Italy has great cheeses. Be sure to try the local parmesan. In cafes you can have a bite to eat with a huge pizza worth 10 euros (40 centimeters in diameter), pasta is offered everywhere (pasta in different versions). In general, after Italy, you don’t want to look at pizza and pasta. So these dishes are boring for the trip.

Italy has excellent olive oil. It also varies. Different percentage and different spin. Interesting, but it also has an interesting smell. I bought olive oil in Russia, but it is not at all like what is sold in Italy. So I brought a bottle of this miracle with me.

By the way, while walking along Anzio, you can see whole plantations of olive trees.
In general, Anzio is a quiet, peaceful little town. And relaxing here is a pleasure. And if you want to get out somewhere, then there are so many interesting places. This is Rome, and the Vatican, and Pompeii.
But more on that next time.

Half an hour by train - and you are already on the beach. And there are many lakes around Rome, warmed by the hot Italian sun. And if during a walk through the Roman streets there is a desire to swim, you can always fulfill it, and you don’t need a gin for this.

When going to the sea, keep in mind that there are almost no public beaches in Italy. Most of the coast is given to private companies, so you will have to pay for a place under the Italian sun. The usual cost of one day on a paid section called stabilimenti is 10-15 euros.

In addition to cabana, paid beaches have other advantages: clean changing rooms, showers, lifeguards on duty all the time. Italian women rarely wear one-piece swimsuits, even older women prefer bikinis, and being topless on the beach is quite common.

Sabaudia (Sabaudia)

Sabaudia is another proud owner of the Blue Flag, golden sands and clear sea. Despite the obvious advantages, it remains one of the least visited beaches in Rome, but only because of the inconvenient road. From Termini Station, the train to Priverno-Fossanova takes 50-55 minutes, the trip costs 5 euros, but then you have to travel another 20 minutes on the Cotral bus, and then go down the wooden stairs. Sabaudia has another advantage: there are quite a few free sites on its coast, as well as campsites.

Pontine Islands (Isole Ponziane)

The Pontine Islands are an archipelago located between Rome and Naples. You will have to get here by ferry, which runs from the seaside towns of Anzio, Formia and Terracina.

Sardinia island

"Sandaliotis" was the name given to this island by the ancient Greeks.

So the trace in the sea remained. Is this so, isn't it ... but on earth. One of the stunning mysteries is the ancient history of this island.

At a time when the inhabitants of Europe were in a state of wild barbarism, a highly developed civilization existed here, it left behind the ruins of megalithic structures, the so-called nuraghi, scattered throughout Sardinia. But the sea has brought the greatest popularity to Sardinia. The sea off the coast of the island and the beaches are considered the most beautiful in Italy. It seems that in its air and colors, some crazy artist mixed the most fantastic shades of blue and green on his palette. A boat frozen on the sea surface seems unnaturally hovering above the seabed, the sand of the beaches seems to be placers of gold, and coastal rocks look like frozen fabulous animals.
