Is Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) worth it solo?

Worth itSolo

Solo, Appian Way (Via Appia Antica) works.

Walk or cycle the original basalt cobbles past tombs, ruins, and umbrella pines on a road that's car-free and green on Sundays — it feels worlds away from the city crush. The catch: it's long and spread out, so you'll want a bike and a plan, not a casual stroll.
