Civitavecchia actually has beaches of its own with at least one only a very short stroll from the port. Find locations and descriptions of type of beach and the availability of umbrellas, chairs etc online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Hlitner Posted June 22 #5 Share Posted June 22 Not sure we would want to spend any time on the Civitavecchia beach. However, there are some decent beach towns closer to FCO, that are easy day trips from the port for folks that simply rent a car. Beach towns like Fiumcino have not only the beach and sand, but also lots of decent restaurants. The downside is that the decent beaches in the region are very popular with the Italians from the Rome area, and can be very crowded on a hot summer day.

bennybear Posted June 23 #6 Share Posted June 23 (edited) We used Rome cabs to do a private tour of Odescalchi Castle, Cerveteri Etruscan site and time for a lovely lunch. We also rented a car and drove up the coast for a lovely fresh fish lunch and explored some of the countryside including Tuscania. On another occasion we took the local bus to Tarquinia, where the Etruscan museum is excellent. Viterbo and Orvieto are also an interesting spots. So lots to see and do, depending on your comfort level. Edited June 23 by bennybear 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynncarol Posted June 25 #7 Share Posted June 25 I second the suggestion to take locus bus to Tarquinia. Their museum was fabulous. I don't know whether it is still possible or not, but when we went, from the museum you could take another bus to some of the Estruscan tombs. Afterwards we walked back into the old town and had a nice lunch before returning to Civitavecchia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted June 25 #8 Share Posted June 25 Years ago with NCL, I did a half day tour to the Etruscan tombs, followed by the museum in Tarquinia, and an agrotourism visit to a farm with snacks and drinks. The tombs were stunning with how fresh the murals looked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
