Day 01

Enjoy a 3 hours walking tour of the first Roman colony: the port of Ostia is kind of a small Pompeii, but just 30 minutes away from Rome.

In a peaceful natural landscape, animated by the pine umbrella trees, the ruins of Ostia still keep the memory of the frenetic activity that distinguished the port city.

With your expert guide, walk along its main street, the so called Decumanus; immerse in the atmosphere of daily life in the ancient Roman Empire, visiting the theatre, wharehouses, apartment flats, thermal baths, mansions and taverns.
