Why Choose the Via Appia for Your Bike Tour?
- Born in 312 BC under the visionary Roman statesman Appius Claudius, the Appian Way is the oldest and most legendary road of ancient Rome — the very first “superhighway” of its time.
- Known as the “Regina Viarum” — Queen of Roads — it once carried legions, emperors, and merchants south to Brindisi, the gateway to Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean. Today, it carries something even better: curious travelers on two wheels.
- Pedal through history along a car-free, tree-lined path flanked by aqueducts, catacombs, tombs of Roman nobles, and peaceful countryside vistas. It’s not just a bike ride — it’s a journey through 2,300 years of stories, silence, and stunning beauty.
