....APPIAN WAY BIKE TOUR GREAT Day Bike Tour in Rome
|
The Appian Way, Queen of the Ways, was inaugurated on 312BC by Appius Claudius, and
immediately became the first major road to the south of Italy.
A path full of monuments, a still picture of history that gave us a perfectly preserved way to live
that time again, imagining the traffic of carriages and horses.. Appian Way bike tour will give
you the unique opportunity to combine history, archeology,landscapes and nature.
A tour through the first few miles of the road immersed in a timeless atmosphere where modernity
gives way to history, and the noise of car engine fades in favor of tires' friction on the ancient roman
paving. A silence broken only by the whispers of the many dead, whose tombs along the Via ask to
be remembered by posterity. Don’t Miss this great opportunity to “taste” with your eyes and
travel back in time with your imagination!
