If you are tired of the crowds of tourists and the noise of Rome, I advise you to go on a country walk. Just 30 kilometers from Rome, there is a beautiful lake with an interesting history, which in ancient times was called Diana's Mirror. And this lake is also famous for the fact that the ships of Emperor Caligula sailed on it. (There is a film about them on Discovery) On the shore of the lake there is a museum dedicated to ships. (I do not advise you to go, the collection is small there) The small village of Nemi will surprise you with delicious strawberries. Well, as a keepsake, you can bring yourself golden or silver strawberries.
Excursions are not carried here. Best by car. But I took the bus. Unfortunately, there is no direct flight from Rome to Nemi. I sat on st. Anagnina and went to Genzano di Roma, and then changed to a bus to Nemi (From Genzano di Roma you get one stop, you can’t walk on foot, it’s far and uphill) The bus schedule is on the Cotral website. If you are thinking of going, then plan for half a day.
Dine there, the food is tasty and inexpensive. Ice cream with fresh strawberries.. .
