HOW TO

- come from CIAMPINO airport to ANZIO?!

____________________________________________

Use one of the bus shuttles to Roma-Termini (main-station)

Coming out of the arrivals, you'll find small cabins all around, selling tickets - coming by Ryan Air they even sell them on board

- all for approxim. 4€ - up to the mainstation "Roma-Termini".

Departure is in 30 minutes-rythm and the distance is done in fairly the same time...

Go into the station and buy a ticket to ANZIO (or NETTUNO) look to the big timetable and check the "binario" ( stage ), go to the stage and enter the train whoch is mostly already there, waiting. ( if longer waiting time, you might want to do some shopping - there is a supermarket directly attached to the same level of the station, - left when you use the main-entrance, and left if you see the end of the rails- a little along the rails, to the left.)

STAMP TICKET and enter train and after almost exactly 1h you'll arrive at 'Marechiaro'

- More informations after booking -

Exit the train at the front - or go towards it - and go down the stairs, follow the small road

and you'll find after ~230m a bar at the right corner and 20m further on the other side your ( and our ) B&B 'Marechiaro'.

Just for a first step how to ask :

Is this the bus to Rome mainstation?

"- Questo è l'autobus per...Roma termini?"

- I would like to go to ...Anzio !

"- Voglio andare a Anzio!"

Alternative: RENT-A-CAR

you can rent a car - which can be worthwhile - if with navigation ( your smartphone? )

Depending on the season you may get a nice lower middle-class car, new, spacious enough and not to big for parking ( a steady problem in Italy ) for only 140 € on Ciampino airport for FOURTEEN DAYS !! ( plus 100€ for first time petrol and 40€ update in fully covered insurance without any extra-payment)

My nephew had this ( an Opel/GM ) and was absolutely satisfied.

Inexperienced drivers should NOT go for a car, because Italian drivers are (to be friendly) 'a little disorderly' - no signals to turn,to show where they go, no real attention to lanes or signals (a STOP-sign will be neutralized with the horn)

They ALL do telephone calls ALL THE TIME - without hands-free-instruments, etc,.

But:

Here, more than anywhere else, this rule is valid: "In Rome do as the Romans do!" ;-)

All it means: Be careful, concentrated

and follow the fluent traffic...

It is advisable to rent the car to come to all the points you might be interested in.

Alternative: WE may - depending on our abili- ties - give you a lift, when on the way... ;-)
