![]() If you fly there, however, you'll be at the Florida Key furthest south. Key West International Airport's code is EYW. But flying to the Keys is a good option if you're tight on time. The airport is small, and flights are sometimes very expensive and are rarely direct (unless you're coming from Miami or Fort Lauderdale). You can get there either by plane or car. The Florida Keys comprise the southernmost part of the United States. How Do You Get to the Florida Keys? (and Where Are They?) So a big thing in the Keys is that places proudly boast their mile marker.įor instance, Robbie's of Islamorada, mentioned below on the second day of our two days in the Florida Keys, is at mile marker 77.5, which is noted on the fish mural we included in this post. It's also fun to note that US-1 begins in Key West. (Maybe it's worth a stop for an Everglades airboat ride if you want to extend your trip!) If you were in Naples, Florida, you'd have to cross over the state through Everglades National Park via “Alligator Alley,” as I-75 is playfully known, to get to I-95, to connect to US-1. There's no direct way to drive from the Gulf Coast side of Florida to the Keys. It took us about an hour and a half to get there from Fort Lauderdale, where we were living at the time. We chose to go to Key Largo because it's the closest Key to US-1, just past Miami, and we only had Saturday and Sunday to explore. San Marino has the oldest written constitution still in effect, dating back to 1600.Florida Keys in 2 Days: Key Largo Itinerary According to tradition, San Marino is the oldest constitutional republic in the world still existing: it was founded in the year 301 by Marinus of Rab, a Christian stonemason fleeing the religious persecution of Roman Emperor Diocletian. One of the European microstates, San Marino is the smallest protectorate state in the world both in terms of area and by population – it has the smallest population of all the members of the Council of Europe. ![]() It is an enclave, completely surrounded by Italy. The Most Serene Republic of San Marino is a country in the Apennine Mountains. But that’s just the tip of the iceberg… learn more about Cassino today! SAN MARINO, ITALY It is noted as the site where Benedict of Nursia established his first monastery, the source of the Benedictine Order, around 529, and of major battles towards the end of World War II. Monte Cassino is a rocky hill about 130 km (80 miles) south of Rome, Italy, a mile to the west of the town of Cassino (the Roman Casinum having been on the hill) and at an altitude of 520 m (1,700 ft). More About OUR ITALIAN FAMILY ROOTS CASSINO, ITALY We later opened the Bayside Grill on the waterfront behind the Café. By 1991, the DiGiorgios had permanently moved to Key Largo, purchased the waterfront property of B & G Goodyear Automotive at Sunset Cove on Florida Bay, and turned it into DiGiorgio’s Café Largo. Living in South Florida, the DiGiorgios soon discovered Key Largo and fell in love with the people and what the area had to offer. Over the past 50 years, there have been a number of restaurants in South Florida owned and operated by both the DiGiorgio and the Maiani families, and by various relatives. View just some of that history, and meet the family, too… just visit our Family Photo Gallery here! Having two children, Robert & Gina, Pasquale had a desire to get ahead using old family recipes… and the rest is history. Getting married in 1965 was just the beginning. Over the years, both families came to settle in South Florida in the 1960’s, where Pasquale DiGiorgio came to meet JoAnn Maiani. The Maianis (JoAnn DiGiorgio’s family) is originally from the Independent Republic of San Marino and the DiGiorgio family is from Cassino, Italy. Both families started coming to the United States through Ellis Island in the early 1900’s. ![]() The DiGiorgio & Maiani families go back centuries in Italy. ![]() DiGiorgio’s Cafe Largo A FAMILY TRADITION ![]()
