Gaeta

Gaeta is on the rock of Orland Mount, and it was the favourite holiday resort for Romans. It is in the middle of the so-called “Ulysses’ Riviera” and it is a wonderful tourist town made of natural beauties and beautiful landscapes, together with historical, religious and monumental features. Gaeta is on a promontory surrounded by sea. The sea here was proclaimed a “Blue Oasis” and it is managed by WWF.
Gaeta is a Middle Ages town, with a big castle, Norman bell-towers, ancient walls, churches, Roman monuments and many beautiful beaches.
The more modern part is called Borgo or Spiaggia, settled by anglers and farmers along via Indipendenza, with many coloured shops. The coast of Gaeta is made of creeks, cliffs and wonderful uncontaminated beaches. Gaeta has seven beaches: S. Agostino, S. Vito, Arenàuta, Ariana, 40 remi, Fontania and Serapo. The Gulf is the last part of the so-called “Ulysses’ Riviera”. The coast is flat for many kilometres, and then it is more variegated thanks to Ausoni and Aurunci Mountains. The area is protected from cold winds and the climate is always mild. The presence of the sea influences the temperature, even in the inner parts: winters are never cold, and summers are not too hot. It is one of the best climates in Italy.
