Stand at the very end of the Via Appia — the road that once connected Rome to the ancient world — beside the towering Roman columns that marked its terminus. A private local expert weaves archaeology, Byzantine legend and medieval splendour into an unforgettable port-day experience.
What to expect
Begin at the iconic Colonne Terminali della Via Appia — two soaring marble pillars that once greeted weary travellers from Rome — before descending to the medieval Tempio di San Giovanni al Sepolcro, a rare circular Crusader church. Your guide leads you through the Piazza del Duomo and into the Cattedrale di San Giovanni Battista, with its magnificent 11th-century mosaics. The tour concludes at the Museo Archeologico Ribezzo, home to extraordinary Bronze Age bronzes salvaged from Puglia's seabed.
Good to know
All key sights are within walking distance of the port — no transfer needed. Allow 3–3.5 hours. Museum entry is approximately EUR 5 per person. Pre-book your guide, especially in peak season May–October.
