Fun things to do in Gaeta: 20 fun attractions and activities

Worth the walk up from eastern side of Gaeta. Great views of the castle and the weaponry stores are interesting to walk through.

A must visit place if you are into walks and photography. Superb view over the beautiful town of Gaeta.

This is a good recreation park for active people. A bit up and down. Some parts not in maintenance. A lot of nice views. Also on the southwest side. Spectacular cliff you can watch clear blue water. Churches and chapel. Big parking. Also a lighthouse on the top. People use it for trekking, running and dog walking

Excellent park. Great views. But take a training shoes and water - climbing to tomb is not easy. Beware of a snakes.

A must-see for all the tourists visiting Gaeta. Breathtaking panorama and enjoyable walking trail for a romantic stroll or brisk walking. This trail will lead you to other important tourist spots of Gaeta. It is definitely worth your time.

One of my favorite places in the world. Surrounded by the busy tourism of Italy, Monte Orlando is an oasis of peace. Whether you're interested in nature, exercise, history, destressing, the amazing views of Gaeta from every angle, or all of the above, you will find it all here. Can't recommend enough!

Awesome castle, still in military use so limited access.

It will be open all the way down to the sea from August 15th, 2025

It is really nice but also very steep. Its basically going downhill and climbing up the hill again. The view is worth it. Its said jesus cry split the mountain.

It’s an amazing place but the fact you can only go 60 steps is a bit of a let down. Unless your in Gaeta it’s not worth the travel. I remember I went when I was a kid and being able to go the whole way down. So as you can see from my pic it’s just a rail and a bit of a view

Place is impressive but you should check opening times as it is closed couple of hours also during day time.

A very scenic spot indeed! Unfortunately, it was not possible to go all the way down due to seasonal closure.

it is a spectacular place, and the legend behind it is very interesting

Beautiful spot - bit of a shame I couldn't reach sea level. Would also be good to put some seating at the first terrace to enjoy the view a bit more comfortably.

Gaeta is so amazing just for its natural attractions because for the other it’s not convenient come to visit this small town full of corruption, everything so expensive, the attitude of the peoples is so rude and no touristic attractions. Along the years this small town is changed so much as the tourism completely will stop for the future.

this is by far one of the best beaches, i have ever visited in my life!! it is one of the top of my list! Tons of lidi but you can find your way, at the begginging of the beach, the “free beach” where you can just lay your towel and just enjoy! we did just that. we parked our car, walked down and layed the towel. once that was done, all you do is dive right into this beautiful clear water! so refreshing, but not whatsoever cold. it’s amazing! you have this beautiful rock area on your left side and the beach full of sand and a nice view on the right! oh the best part about this, is when you go in the water, you have to walk a bit to be more deep cuz the water is so shallow - so you can enjoy your time in the water but also be not fully in yet!!

The best beach in Lazio for sure

Very good beach, in summer it could be very crowdy and the sea as well, but walk in winter there on a sunny day and you will be very pleased. This beach is good to surf too when you have the right conditions with left waves punchy and ordered. The water is very clean and cool, there are a lot of structure where to rent a chair or where to take a beer. The boardwalk is very beautiful.

Beach was very nice, wonderful sand. Water was perfect. Toilet available on site. ,20 euro shower. Bring your own umbrella and chair.Enter free beach from West of Cycas.

Shallow water and nice clean beach

It's a beautiful beach but oh my God those relentless umbrellas.

Few things to see, some interesting informations. 3 euro entrance fee rather expensive, I find.

This monument is such a great historical heritage for Gaeta and has added a large amount of value to it. We're talking about a real glimpse of the past dating back to year 3 A.D. It is noteworthy to mention how this city's beautiful asset had been maintained and well taken care of. It is indeed a pleasure watching it inside and out. Maybe most people don't know, it's open for public every morning until 1PM and it's free of charge.

Loved the view of whole city up from here

Cool mausoleum. Too bad you can't get closer

Very good

Wow

(Translated by Google) The Mausoleum of Lucio Munazio Planco is a funerary building that stands on Mount Orlando, the mountain that overlooks the city of Gaeta, in Lazio. View of the interior with the copy of the original statue of Lucio Munazio Planco. Description The building was built at the behest of Lucius Munazio Plancus, a Roman soldier and politician of the Republic period. The construction, which is in an excellent state of conservation, dates back to 22 BC. and is perfectly circular in shape with a mound roof, which no longer exists today. Inside, the tomb is made up of four cells with barrel vaults accessible from a circular corridor (ambulatory) and arranged according to the 4 cardinal points. Nowadays, the cells house an antiquarium with finds from different historical periods and in the main one located in front of the entrance you can admire a copy of the original statue of Lucio Munazio Planco, currently in Rome. Above the door there is, still almost perfectly preserved, a dedicatory inscription included in a frame. The text is as follows: L. MUNATIUS L (ucii) F (ilius) L (ucii) N(epos) L(ucii) PRON(epos) PLANCUS CO(n)S(ul) CENS(or) IMP(erator) ITER(num) VII VIR EPULON(um) TRIUMP(hator) EX RAETIS AEDEM SATURN(i) FECIT DE MANIBIS AGROS DIVISIT IN ITALY BENEVENTI IN GALLIA COLONIAS DEDUXIT LUGUDUNUM ET RAURICAM or “Lucius Munatius Plancus, son of Lucius, nephew of Lucius, great-grandson of Lucius, consul, censor, emperor twice, septemvir of the epuloni, triumphant of the Raeti, built the temple of Saturn with the spoils, divided the fields in Italy at Benevento, founded the colonies of Lugduno (Lyon) and Raurica (in Gaul) Basel)”. The diameter of the structure measures 29.54 meters, the external circumference measures 93.10, while the height is 9 meters.

Place full of spirituality, well located in a nice corner of Gaeta.

Nice and simple from inside.

Beautiful building

So special beautiful place

Well worth a visit.

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Majestic, imposing, with a breathtaking view, it is among the most beautiful churches to see! (Original) Maestosa , imponente , con una vista mozzafiato, è tra le chiese più belle da vedere !

Shallow and calm water, great for kids or relax, prices for umbrellas were okay, sand is pretty nice too

Beautiful but very busy beach. The spiaggia libera is very small and occupied by umbrellas which is unfortunate

The best public beach I ever been

I totally agree with a previous comment, if you are a tourist, don’t mind going there. I am from Canada and paid a lot to be here and I never felt so unwelcome in a place before. I tought Italien people were nice but… They act like you kill there cat or something because you speak English. Don’t recommend at all.

Extremely crowded beach, also very commercialized. The entire beach front is consumed by beach clubs that demand you pay to enter the beach front even if you aren’t using their facilities. If you long to rent a beach chair and umbrella, you best have at least 30-40 euro in your pocket to be able to stay just a couple hours. The water is fair , but the chairs and umbrellas are right on top of one another and most people smoke cigarettes or weed so be prepared for misery if you’re a nonsmoker. Picture taken after hours, the only peaceful time at this beach.

Very clean sand and water. Very nice beach. We like it so much. In early October water is quite warm and not many people.

If you're not the type of tourist who can handle being packed in like sardines, this place isn't for you. Almost the entire beach is owned by private hotels, and the remaining small spots are crowded with locals. Even these public sections of the beach are managed by vendors who offer sunbeds for €30/day. You won't find public showers on the beach, and everything comes with a hefty price tag. On the other hand, the beach is really clean, and the water is crystal clear. Simply beautiful

Great place! Water is very clean and hot (around 25'C for sure). We did not rent any devices, so we did not pay for the stay. But you have to pay for the parking. 2,5h cost around 4,4 Euros.

Small beach very busy in summer season, unfortunately covered by small Hill and exposed opposite to the sun so it's the first beach shadowed at sunset. Close to this beach it's possible to enjoy a private garden with small bar and sunbed to take the sun. It's a little bit expensive but privacy and relax are warrantee. Also is near to a restaurant so no problem to have meal. The beach itself doesn't offer services like bar, rent sunbed, etc..

Stunning and so quiet on a fabulous sunny May day. We had the beach to ourselves for several hours.

This review is for Gneo Fontia. This shaded outdoor restaurant and bar is quite a pleasant place with friendly wait staff. Showers are available.

Nice place with clean water.

Nice and cozy beach.

Super

This place has a beautiful view of the ocean outside the window. The espresso is also great and the staff are very friendly and pleasant.

Great place for a walk with stunning views

Worth a visit. I recommend reading up on the history of the place online (a lot of info card are only in Italian), or you can use Google translate camera. Knowing the facts enriches the experience quite a bit.

A – path at the top of the gorge, on the roof. B – path at the bottom of the gorge, by the water.

It's a bit tricky to get to but worth it. According to legend, the Montagna Spaccata (cracked mountain) split in two at the moment of Christ's crucifixion.

A must if you are ever in Gaeta! Beautiful views and an incredible story behind it. If you are staying in Gaeta Medievale it is a worthwhile hike with amazing old ruins along the way. Make sure to take cash as it is free entry, but it is customary to leave an offering/donation.

what a place! as you follow this street down, you encounter some stairs, a path, rocks everywhere and you just going forwards to see what else is there for you to see! you find these imprints of some big hands on the wall where this Turk has opened the mountain and literally broken it as the legend says. you then encounter a little tiny church, a church maybe with 8-10 seats , so small but yet so cool to then walking up the stairs you find yourself located on top of this tiny church and you look down and all you see is blue! a blue so nice and clear but yet so deep to where it is completely incredible and a mesmerizing! completely suggest to go here to anyone if they can!!

I recently visited Castel Angioino, and my impressions are mixed. Unfortunately, the castle is not in the best condition, but it clearly has a rich history. The guided tour lasts about an hour and is really interesting – an English-speaking guide costs €20, while a regular ticket is €10. The highlight for me was the stunning view of the city from the walls – definitely worth seeing! Overall, if you enjoy history and architecture, it’s worth a visit, but don’t expect any modern attractions.

Amazing journey through the history of this place! Our guide was very prepared and nice, the castle was really big and she showed us all the different parts of it that has been used since its building till 1990. Being there has made me really perceive how prisoners should have felt, and what have been history in Italy and its relationship with penitentiaries. Really cool. Then also the views are amazing on the gulf.

Awesome castle turned into a prison around the 19th century. Visitable only through a guided tour, where the guide was competent, clear, and entertaining all the way. Unmissable.

Surprising! We were not expecting such a wonderful visit. The guide was great and very clear giving an all new dimension to those walls. The view of the cost is just amazing. A must see!!!

A very cool experience with a lot of history. The tour is short and quite expensive (20 euro per person) BUT if you have the cash to spare I would highly recommend. The tour guides are well prepared and informed.

We had the most unexpectedly lovely trip to Castello Angioino today with our five young children ages 9, 7, 5, 3, and 1 largely due to our amazing tour guide, Stefano. He was engaging and knew what to teach the kids to keep them interested and asking questions, while also learning the history of the castle. The view from the top is spectacular, but it was the little tales on the tour that made this stop really stand out to us. I won’t spoil the surprises, but it was fascinating to hear about some of the prisoners and tales from the castles time as a prison. Highly recommend making this a stop if you’re in the Gaeta area! Much different from so many of the other castles we have visited and a wonderful way to spend the afternoon. Gaeta is a hidden gem!

It was a very interesting experience. You can park close to the castel. Be prepared that it is a guided tour and takes appx 40 mins.

we never went inside but it is a stunning view when you climb to the top right by the church at the top of gaeta and the charming towns across the water. there are stairs on the left you can go up even when the main stairs are closed.

Iconic and imposing structure in Gaeta Old Town situated uphill. You will also see the panoramic view of Gaeta which is breathtaking. Unfortunately, the church was close during my visit. This place is worth to see.

Very special! and the surprise of a beautiful wedding in progress….

Beautiful place and an amazing view from the old town

We could not see inside, but I was glad that I saw the Gothic details from outside.

This place is amazing! Such an beautiful church with a stunning view to top it off.

Closed 🤷

It is a church by the sea of ​​Gaeta. Unfortunately I couldn't visit inside, but a beautiful church should be visited if you come to Gaeta.

(Translated by Google) I haven't found any opening hours but outside the tourist season I believe it is normally closed to the public with the exception of mass times (currently 2 on Sunday and 2 on other days) and the transit of organized tourist groups. In 1321 it was decided to build a complex with a hospital, a convent and a church. This was opened in 1354 and the following year the hospital began its activity but two centuries later it hindered the construction of the new city walls wanted by Charles V. For this reason in 1536 the church was almost completely demolished, in 1621 it was rebuilt changing its orientation which became parallel to the walls, in 1700 the clock was added to the façade. (Original) Orari non ne ho trovati ma fuori dalla stagione turistica credo sia normalmente chiusa al pubblico ad eccezione degli orari delle messe (in questo momento 2 la Domenica e 2 in altri giorni) ed al transito di gruppi turistici organizzati. Nel 1321 venne decisa la costruzione di un complesso con un ospedale, un convento ed una chiesa.Questa venne aperta nel 1354 e l'anno successivo iniziò l'attività l' ospedale ma due secoli dopo intralciava la costruzione della nuova cinta muraria voluta da Carlo V. Per questa ragione nel 1536 la chiesa venne venne quasi completamente demolita , nel 1621 venne ricostruita cambiandone l' orientamento che divenne parallelo alle mura, nel 1700 sulla facciata venne aggiunto l'orologio.

(Translated by Google) It is easily found parallel to the seafront, it's a pity that it is often closed to the public, they should agree on precise opening times and display them, it seems the interior is very beautiful with the golden cave where, among other things, Pope Pius IX prayed in his exile in Gaeta. In any case, the facade and the annexes are worth seeing (Original) Si trova facilmente parallela al lungomare, peccato sia chiusa spesso al pubblico, dovrebbero accordarsi su degli orari precisi ed esporli, pare l interno sia molto bello con la grotta d' oro dove pregò tra l altro papa pio ix nel suo esilio a Gaeta. Cmq la facciata e gli annessi sono da vedere

(Translated by Google) I spent the Easter weekend in Gaeta. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, both in the morning and in the afternoon, I tried to visit the church, as suggested by the tourist sites. I have always found the door strictly locked. At the umpteenth bounce, I perhaps naively asked a couple of natives for clarification. Among the embarrassed and resigned responses received, I was struck by the excuse "in this period S. Annunziata does not have its own parish priest". As if to allow a tourist to visit there was a need for a parish priest in vestments. Or as if, on the occasion of the passing of a pope (the good Francis passed away in recent days), St. Peter's closed its doors until the outcome of the next conclave. Ah, sad Gaeta, city of a hundred churches and as many locked doors! :-( (Original) Ho trascorso a Gaeta il weekend di Pasqua. Venerdì, sabato e domenica, sia di mattina sia di pomeriggio, ho provato a visitare la chiesa, come suggerito dai siti turistici. Ho sempre trovato il portone rigorosamente sprangato. All'ennesimo rimbalzo, ho forse ingenuamente chiesto lumi a un paio di indigeni. Tra le risposte tra l'imbarazzato e il rassegnato ricevute, mi ha colpito la scusa "in questo periodo S. Annunziata non ha un suo parroco". Come se per consentire la visita a un turista ci fosse bisogno di un parroco in paramenti. O come se, in occasione della dipartita di un papa (in questi giorni è mancato il buon Francesco), San Pietro chiudesse i battenti sino all'esito del successivo conclave. Ah trista Gaeta, città delle cento chiese e degli altrettanti portoni serrati! :-(

(Translated by Google) Perfectly preserved and well maintained, both in the façade, in the original flooring and in its organ. It is worth visiting together with the Golden Chapel. (Original) Perfettamente conservata e ben tenuta,sia nella facciata, sia nella pavimentazione originale che nel suo organo. È da visitare insieme alla Cappella d'Oro.

(Translated by Google) This church is known above all for the Golden Chapel in which Pius IX, who fled from Rome and took refuge in Gaeta, was inspired by the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1954. In the church you can admire two paintings by Luca Giordano and a polyptych in the presbytery, which has nothing to envy of the Spanish retables. (Original) Questa chiesa è conosciuta soprattutto per la Cappella d'Oro nella quale Pio IX, fuggito da Roma e rifugiatosi a Gaeta, fu ispirato per la proclamazione del dogma dell'Immacolata Concezione del 1954. Nella chiesa si possono ammirare due tele di Luca Giordano e un polittico nel presbiterio, che non ha niente da invidiare ai retabli spagnoli.

(Translated by Google) The Sanctuary inside is very beautiful and worth visiting. The panoramic position is worth the visit. (Original) Il Santuario al suo interno è molto bello e da visitare. La posizione panoramica vale la visita.

(Translated by Google) Splendid church overlooking the sea dedicated to San Giovanni Evangelista. It was built between the 11th and 12th centuries near the port, for fishermen. It has a style that combines Romanesque and oriental elements, with a particular dome and simple but suggestive interiors. The sloping floor was used to drain the sea water. (Original) Splendida chiesa che affaccia sul mare dedicata a San Giovanni Evangelista. Fu costruita tra XI e XII secolo vicino al porto, per i pescatori. Ha uno stile che unisce elementi romanici e orientali, con una cupola particolare e interni semplici ma suggestivi. Il pavimento inclinato serviva a far defluire l’acqua del mare.

(Translated by Google) The history of this church built outside the walls directly on the sea has always fascinated me. Indeed, it was even built so that the sea was part of it with a sloping floor on the shore side which allowed the entry of fishermen's boats at high tide. Today, with the various restoration works, even the inclination of the floor has changed, but I am happy that it has been reopened and that everyone can visit it because it is a rare example of a Romanesque-Byzantine church with its bell tower and such a particular dome. . Unique (Original) Mi ha sempre affascinato la storia di questa chiesa costruita fuori le mura direttamente sul mare. Anzi addirittura costruita in modo che il mare ne facesse parte con un pavimento inclinato dalla parte della riva che permettesse l'ingresso delle barchette dei pescatori con l'alta marea. Oggi è cambiata, con i vari lavori di restauro, anche l'inclinazione del pavimento, ma sono contento che sia stata riaperta e che tutti possano visitarla perché è un raro esempio di chiesa romanico-bizantina col suo campanile a vela e la cupola così particolare. Unica

(Translated by Google) Especially beautiful to visit inside, inquire on the Internet to see the opening hours which are very limited and tend to be on weekends. (Original) Bellissima soprattutto da visitare all’interno, informatevi su Internet per vedere gli orari di apertura che sono molto ridotti e tendenzialmente nel fine settimana.

(Translated by Google) The church of San Giovanni was built outside the city walls. Even if the facade is very simple, surmounted by a small bell tower with two bells, the interior reserves surprises such as the inclined floor which enhances the perspective effect. On the top of the church stands a small tower, decorated in Byzantine Greek style. (Original) La chiesa di San Giovanni di edificata al di fuori delle mura della città. Anche se la facciata è molto semplice, sormontato da un piccolo campanile a due campane, l'interno riserva sorprese come il pavimento inclinato che esalta l'effetto prospettico. Sulla sommità della chiesa sorge un torrino, decorato in stile greco bizantino.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful but little remains of the original frescoes (Original) Bello ma rimane poco degli affreschi originali

(Translated by Google) Pretty, very simple facade! And the tower at the top, so beautiful during the French-speaking era! (Original) Jolie façade très simple! Et la tour en tête si belle sous l’époque romande!

(Translated by Google) A beautiful Romanesque style church. (Original) Una bellissima chiesa in stile romanico.

Good

(Translated by Google) Four basins whose shape resembles a boat from which high and powerful jets of water rise. In the center is the modern and stylized bronze statue of Saint Francis. The birds the saint spoke to are not the classic sparrows but, being in a seaside city, they are seagulls. Very suggestive. (Original) Quattro vasche la cui forma ricorda una barca dalle quali si innalzano alti e potenti getti d'acqua . Al centro la statua in bronzo di San Francesco , moderna e stilizzata . Gli uccelli a cui parlava il santo non sono i classici passerotti ma , essendo in una città di mare , sono gabbiani . Molto suggestiva .

(Translated by Google) During the holidays, the Fountain of San Francesco in Gaeta transforms into a truly magical show of lights and music. Every Saturday, Sunday, pre-holiday and public holiday at 6.30pm, the fountain offers a show of water and light effects synchronized to the rhythm of music. This event attracts many people and creates a festive and enchanting atmosphere. Furthermore, at the end of the show, there are often fireworks which add an extra touch of magic (Original) Durante le festività, la Fontana di San Francesco a Gaeta si trasforma in uno spettacolo di luci e musica davvero magico. Ogni sabato, domenica, prefestivo e festivo alle 18:30, la fontana offre uno spettacolo di giochi d'acqua e luci sincronizzati al ritmo di musica. Questo evento attira molte persone e crea un'atmosfera festosa e incantevole. Inoltre, alla fine dello spettacolo, ci sono spesso fuochi pirotecnici che aggiungono un tocco di magia in più

(Translated by Google) Beautiful and well-groomed. On the occasion of Christmas it is used for illumination shows (Original) Bella e curata. In occasione del Natale viene usata per gli spettacoli delle luminarie

In Gaeta there are many restaurants, some tourist traps - although a lot closed at lunchtime, this was a good find. Small family run, 2 in the kitchen and 1 serving and what a great job they did. It was very busy but everything ran smoothly and the food was of good quality, freshness and taste, portions good too. Certainly can recommend.

The place was amazing and the service was incredible. The owner gave us a taste of wine and house olive oil. Told us where we could buy it. Will be back!!!!

Incredible place for a dinner! The service was immaculate, the food was super delicious, and the wine - WOW! Fantastic experience in Gaeta, a must if you are visiting ❤️

Me and my partner were struggling to find a nice place to have lunch here in Gaeta, we found this restaurant and we were very surprised on how nice the staff was! It was just us in the restaurant, we had a nice antipasti (small bruschetta) that the owner gave us, had a very nice white wine and two great al dente pastas! But be aware that the portions are very big, so be prepared :). The price was fair and we even had a recommendation where to go in the town (montagna spaccata). Totally recommend!

Best restaurant ever ! We found it accidentally and We even returned the next day. The owner of the restaurant has a really great and friendly vibe, and a great singer! which made the food tastes even more delicious. We live in Rome, and We ordered Carbonara there, and the Carbonara was really great, just like good locals in Rome. Bolognese was great as will. It will be our choice whenever We come back!

Fabulous Owner a STAR sings too FOOD SO GOOD

Excellent lunch experience! Very friendly owners, true Italian dining experience. Of everything we ordered we loved the most: spaghetti bolognese, carbonara, whole fish cooked with a side salad and tiramisu that is to die for. Their homemade cheesecake was phenomenal too. We left a tip but the owner chased us down and gave us a bottle of olive oil in return. Lovely experience!

So, this place is a small food/beach rental shack. It is impossible to see the sign and entrance from the road. I parked in front of the nearby hotel and followed the path to the beach. Umbrella rental is about 5 Euro and chair is 2 Euro. My children were offered some beach toys to play with, which was an absolute joy! The beach rental part of this was 5 Stars all the way. However, everything went down when we decided to eat there. I desperately wanted to like it. But, the wait to order was horrendous. The foods took forever. We noticed about two customers leave without finishing. The food was subpar. I was truly disappointed. My children wanted mozzarella sticks. Ours was very soggy with oil and some parts were cold! The shrimp in my seafood spaghetti was not fresh. It tastes pretty old. As I previously suggested, they are an excellent umbrella and chair rental service. They are located right on the beach and at the end of the beach.

Nice place!! All though the deco was not very impressive, the food was amazing!! You really have to come to eat some fish though, because thats the only type of food that’s good there. The waiters are very nice and helpful and the restaurant is right on the beach with a beautiful view on the sea!!

Our “go-to” beach! The restaurant is amazing and the little snack shack has the best hotdogs I’ve ever had! Prices for chairs and umbrellas is cheaper than most places and it’s fun to swim to the rocks and jump off!

I am sorry that I had my phone off but I had a very good meal at the restaurant and I got an umbrella and sun bed for a very good deal. Staff unbelievably nice and the owner with his son are beautiful people! Thanks

I had a very good octopus salad. Service was fast and friendly.

Nice beach, very crowded in July and August, need to arrive at 8am to get a chait

You can lay right of the water or pay for €5 umbrella and €5 chair (payment made inside the cafe). Ticket comes with toilet use but you have to pay for the shower. Expect is to be crowded in the weekend and weekday as seen in the photo (half full).

Beautiful beach with clear and shallow sea. In front you can sometimes see the island of PONZA

Beautiful town with wonderful promenade along the coastline.

very nice place , I liked it

Best barber ( Angelo ) I have ever met.

Just relaxing view. Recommended for walking..

Good

(Translated by Google) A charming, meticulously maintained place, especially the pedestrian walkway, with breathtaking views and a view of the medieval city behind it. The flowerbeds are practically meticulously landscaped gardens, with a truly impressive variety of plants, including palms, banana trees, olive trees, and Mediterranean plants. They're currently completing the last section in front of the port authority—a colossal undertaking. A truly recommended place to visit. (Original) Un posto incantevole curato sopratutto la camminata pedonale con affacci mozzafiato e alle spalle vista della città medioevale. Aiule che sono praticamente giardini curarissimi con una varietà di piante veramente elevata tra cui: palme, banani, ulivi e piante mediterranee. Stanno completando l'ultimo pezzo davanti la capitaneria di porto un lavoro colossale. Veramente un posto consigliato da visitare

It was very pleasant time. We had a stop there before taking a ferry in Formia

The old town is really pretty. Unfortunately the town could and should do more to keep it clean. I saw people smoking and throwing cigarettes butts everywhere, even smoking at playgrounds is allowed!

Very interesting, historical town.

Amazing! Sea on both sides of the city, great place to go to the beach, have long walks, bike/... rides, great ice cream at Gelateria Il Molo(I recommend it). Parking your car can be a bit difficult, but not impossible.

Loved this place. History, views, restaurants and other features. It feels super safe and was just lovely.

A quiet picturesque medieval town, steeped history. Off the beaten track. Cracking town

Beautiful village - especially during Christmas with all those lights.. Amazing

Stunning beach

(Translated by Google) Access from the sea, by dinghy boat, an excellent place to anchor and enjoy the wonderful little beach of 40 oars. Without any bathing limits, anchoring can be done easily even when approaching the ridge (Original) Accesso dal mare, in barca gommoni natanti, ottimo luogo per ancorare e godersi la meravigliosa spiaggetta dei 40 remi. Senza alcun limite di balneazione, l'ancoraggio può avvenire in maniera semplice anche avvicinandosi al costone

(Translated by Google) Small and beautiful cove made up of 2 beaches divided by a large boulder, reachable only by sea by canoe, starting from the Ariana beach or from the Fontania beach, or from Serapo. From the ground there would be stairs accessible only to the owners of the villas above. All accesses from the road are closed by gates on private property, yet the free beaches should remain accessible to all. Very beautiful water with green reflections and the presence of fresh water springs. Near the cliffs there are many sea bream, seabream, sea bream and salpe. Rubbish brought by the sea has accumulated near the cliff and no one bothers to remove it. It's a shame because the beach is worth it. (Original) Piccola e bella caletta costituita da 2 spiaggette divise da un grande masso, raggiungibile solo via mare in canoa, partendo dalla spiaggia dell'ariana oppure da quella di fontania, o da serapo. Da terra vi sarebbero delle scalette accessibili solo ai proprietari delle ville sovrastanti. Tutti gli accessi dalla strada sono chiusi da cancelli di proprietà private, eppure le spiagge libere dovrebbero rimanere accessibili a tutti. Acqua molto bella con riflessi verdi e presenza di sorgenti di acqua dolce. Vicino alle scogliere presenza di molti saraghi, occhiate, orate e salpe. A ridosso della scogliera si sono accumulati dei rifiuti portati dal mare e che nessuno si preoccupa di rimuovere. È un peccato perché la spiaggetta merita.

(Translated by Google) It is a little jewel to reach by boat or canoe. A true.paradise.Spring water that mixes with that of the sea.

Un vero.paradiso.Acqua sorgiva che si mescola con quella del mare. Raggiungibile in canoa , pedalo' o barca dalla spiaggia dell' Ariana costeggiandola verso sinistra dopo il promontorio. Da visitare.

(Translated by Google) Small treasures that can only be discovered by coming from the sea, perhaps by sailing canoe. Small oases where you can catch your breath during a walk between the various coves, a dip in crystal clear waters away from the summer crowds; It's a shame that too many boats anchor away from the dominant west, which takes away the intimate and wild flavor of this place. (Original) Piccoli tesori che si scoprono solo provenendo dal mare, magari in canoa a vela. Piccole oasi dove riprendere fiato durante una passeggiata tra le varie calette, un tuffo in acque cristalline al riparo dalla calca estiva; peccato le troppe barche che si ancorano al riparo dal ponente dominante, che tolgono quel sapore intimo e selvaggio a questo posto.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful beach, visited from a boat, clean water, great views (Original) Прекрасный пляж, посещали с катера, чистая вода, великолепные виды

(Translated by Google) Congratulations to those who curated the exhibition on local geology (and beyond) at the museum. To be advertised because it deserves and instead you get there "almost by chance" (Original) Complimenti a chi ha curato la mostra sulla geologia del posto (e non solo) al museo. Da pubblicizzare perché merita e invece ci si arriva "quasi per caso"

(Translated by Google) The beach would also be very beautiful, if it weren't for the fact that there isn't a single cm2 available even in June. Furthermore, there are no free beach areas, everything is occupied by the lidos, even illegally. Not to mention the prices: last Saturday in June 1 umbrella and 2 sunbeds €50. (Ariana establishment). Curre curre guagliò, curre curre guagliò ooo UPDATE: After 6:30 pm the free beach areas illegally occupied by the neighboring lidos are completely cleared!!! 🤐 (Original) La spiaggia sarebbe anche molto bella, se non fosse che non c'è un cm2 disponibile anche a giugno. Inoltre non esistono tratti di spiaggia libera, tutto stra occupato dai lidi, anche abusivamente. Per non parlare dei prezzi: ultimo sabato di giugno 1 ombrellone e 2 lettini 50€. (Stabilimento ariana). Curre curre guagliò, curre curre guagliò ooo AGGIORNAMENTO: Dopo le 18.30 i tratti di spiaggia libera occupati abusivamente dai lidi limitrofi vengono completamente sgomberati!!! 🤐
