🇮🇹 Anzio: Rome's Secret Seaside Escape 🌊
After battling crowds, trash, and... interesting smells in Rome, we stumbled upon Anzio – a Blue Flag beach town just 1 hour away by train! 🚆✨ Why Anzio? 🏖️ Pristine beaches with crystal-clear water 🎣 Charming fishing port + historic ruins 🏛️ Emperor Nero’s villa ruins (yes, that Nero!) 🚤 Boat tours to hidden coves 🌞 Perfect Day Trip Itinerary ☀️ Morning Take the direct train from Roma Termini (€5, 1hr). 🕛 Noon Walk 10 mins to the beach – swim, sunbathe, or explore cliffs! 🌅 Afternoon Stroll along the coast to Nettuno (next town over): Visit the seaside cathedral ⛪ Relax at Nettuno Beach 🏝️ 🌙 Evening Seafood dinner by the harbor (try spaghetti alle vongole!) 🍝 Last train back to Rome at 10 PM. ⚠️ Pro Tips Sunscreen is a must! ☀️ Check train schedules (weekends = fewer rides). Blue Flag ≠ no pickpockets – watch your stuff! #Anzio #RomeDayTrip #ItalianBeaches
