Necropolis of Banditaccia
Recommended: Absolutely
Difficulty: Medium
the Etruscan necropolis of Banditaccia is placed tuff on a hill northwest of Cerveteri, and its approximately 400 acre working farm there are many thousands of burials (the fenced and is open to only 10 hectares in size and has about 400 mounds), from the oldest period of Villanova ( IX century BC) to the most "recent" in the Etruscan period. In the necropolis
you can see two types of burials, grave ones and those "to die". The former are characterized by a structure that encloses a circular tuff within a representation of the deceased's house, complete with a corridor (dromos) to access different rooms. The second is instead in a long line of graves aligned regularly along streets burial. In the visit the Necropolis of Banditaccia there are two of these pathways, via dei Monti and Via dei Monti Ceriti Tolfa. Highly recommended
Wear comfortable shoes and a great sense of adventure (access to the interior of the tombs in fact is not so easy sometimes:))

Inside, a museum with finds from the nearby necropolis Banditaccia and Sorbo.
Ceri Rocca
Recommended: Yes
Difficulty: Easy
Ceri is a fraction of the town of Cerveteri, near Rome. The village rises on a tufa plateau not far from Cerveteri.
The current village was founded in 1236 on a previous small settlement dating from the seventh century when the inhabitants of nearby Caere (Cerveteri) abandoned it to move into a better position defense course.
the new center gave the name Novum Caere (now simply Ceri, not to be confused with the location of Cerenova, part of the village of Marina di Cerveteri), to distinguish it from the old city, Caere Vetus (now Cerveteri). At the same time, for security reasons, was built to defend the castle that dominates the village. (Source Wikipedia)

Castello di Santa Severa (ancient Pyrgi)
Recommended: n /
Difficulty: Easy
Pyrgi is the Latin name of the Etruscan city that once stood on the coast near the present castle of Santa Severa. Formerly the port of Cerveteri, which is about 13 km, and was a thriving center of commerce until the Etruscans were strong on the sea. In 384 BC it was destroyed by the fleet of Dionysius of Syracuse and after a few decades became a Roman colony (source Wikipedia)
I was not but recommend it anyway because it seems interesting. :) But be careful
that prevented the restoration - at the time of my involvement - access to the interior of the castle. It is advisable to inquire first whether you can visit the interior of the fortress
