August 2008: AQUILEIA
TRIP
BOOK NOW!
On Saturday 23 August,
there will be a special guided tour by coach only for ICTP visitors and
families to AQUILEIA (about 45 km from Trieste) with an English-speaking guide.
AQUILEIA is one
of the most interesting sites in the Region, an ancient marshland
settlement,
with a 700-year Roman period dating back to 181 B.C. There are old
Roman
mosaics in the basilica and old Roman ruins spread out in a lovely
landscape.
The
discounted contribution
requested for the tour is only 5,00 euro
/head - payable when you sign up - with an optional extra 2.50
euro/head
entrance if you want to visit the crypt on the day of the trip.
At the end of
the tour,
there will be the possibility of getting off at Grado
- a popular beach resort close to Aquileia - instead of heading back to
Grignano. You could take the opportunity to visit this lovely lagoon
city on
your own, swim at the beach and spend the rest of the day there. You
will
have to return to Trieste
on your own. There are many buses or ferry boats and the guide will
have
timetables at your disposal.
Those who are not
interested in the Grado stopover will proceed by coach back to Grignano.
MEETING
POINT at
9.20 a.m near Bus stop 36 in Grignano
seaside where you'll see the coach and meet your guide.
DEPARTURE
TIME is
fixed at 9.30 a.m and return at 1.30 p.m.
Come to
the Info Point, Leonardo Building, and
sign up as soon as possible as it is on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Don't miss Aquileia, it's
well worth
seeing!
