By GERRY BARKER

When our cruise ended in Rome, we had a choice: Dive into the hustle and bustle of The Eternal City or relax and unwind before a long flight home the next day. Having experienced much of Rome on previous trips, we chose the latter.

Like many long-distance travelers here on a short-time stay, we looked for a hotel close to Rome's Leonardo da Vinci Airport, in the town of Fiumicino. Located on the Tiber delta, it is the historic site of Trajan, an important port for the Roman Empire. Now a maritime village, fishing center and resort on the Tyrrhenian Sea coast, we had a day to explore the city at our leisure.
