ENVIRONMENTS
Two hours from Rome and one from Naples, by car, one hour by train from both, Gaeta lays on the promontory Mount Orlando, which strikes into the Tyrrhenian Sea enclosing the "Gulf of Gaeta".

In the small port a small outboard is possible (to be arranged before arrival if in June/August) for visiting the coast of the promontory and ahead along the 7 miles of unpolluted sea, rocky and the white sandy beaches between Gaeta and Sperlonga.

The Aragonese fortress dominates from the Mount Orlando the promontory and the Sea around. Daily excursions to the wild and wonderful Pontine Islands by hydrofoils are available from Formia, a village four km far, on the other side of the harbour.

The coast, from the shore of " serapo "- between mount Orlando and the hill of "catena" - to the shore of "S.Agostino", consists of small, green promontories on which small ancient sighting-towers against Saracens take place.

In between that promontories small bays with or without white sand (Fontania, Ariana, Arenauta and S.Vito) make this coast one of the most beautiful and panoramic of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Gaeta was and is residence of Bishop's palace.

Greek civilization greatly influenced the people in this area, although Gaeta was not a Greek colony.
During Roman times this town was known as a famous resort with a good harbour for ships.

The via Flacca (a Roman road built in 184 B.C., ) - which still connects Gaeta with Rome - leading towards the town of Sperlonga, was lined with beautiful villas, gardens, swimming pools, nymphaeums and mausoleums. The best preserved is the Villa of Emperor Tiberius, located just below the Sperlonga Museum. Two mausoleums are still in Gaeta: Plancus Mausoleum on the mount Orlando which is the best preserved one in all of Italy, and Atratino Mausoleum. The Flacca road, built in 184 B.C., still connects Gaeta with Rome.
