Nettuno

A day out in Nettuno

A walled seaside village with an airfield behind it, which is why most people who come here end up in the air rather than in the water.

6 days outthe nearest is a 1 h 11 drive from Rome

The medieval borgo at Nettuno is small, sandstone and entirely walled, sitting between the marina and the modern town. It takes half an hour to walk and it is free, and it is the only piece of coast on this stretch that looks the way it did before the war.

The rest of what happens here happens overhead. The airfield runs tandem skydives and flights in a powered parachute along the shore, and boats leave the marina and the neighbouring harbour at Anzio for the day.
