TexasHorseLady Posted September 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 20, 2008 We are thinking about hiring a private driver to take us and a few friends into Rome. We have all been to Rome, so we are thinking of unusual things to do. Does anybody know: Is there anything worthwhile to stop and see along the drive between Civitavecchia and Rome? One idea is - I would love to stop at a little winery and taste (and probably buy) some local wines...but I have not been able to find if there are any in that region. Or maybe there's something else that's really great to stop and see along the way. An ancient site? A local craftsman making something special? A beautiful view? Any ideas?

mountainmare Posted September 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 20, 2008 Tarquinia is delightful. I would contact several companies and ask for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunmore2 Posted September 21, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Ostia Antica is amazing. It was the "original" port to bring goods into Rome before the Tiber River meandered away. The ruins there are as amazing as Pompeii's. Very few tourists there. You can rent an audio guide or buy a tour book. It is very tranquil and I would recommend it to anyone.
