After disembarkation guests will start their tour to the remarkable Terracina onboard their deluxe coaches.
Terracina
Terracina, the land of myths, is immersed in the transparent and pastel coloured sea of Ulysses. It is a land beyond time,
famous for its fascinating Temple of Jupiter, which dominates and represents the town of Terracina. Today, unfortunately,
only the main structure is visible, which was the basement of the Temple.
After the visit of the Temple guests will proceed their tour to Sperlonga.
Sperlonga
Sperlonga's attractions as a leisure resort were first recognized about 2000 years ago.
The name of the town comes from the Latin "spelunca" which stands for cave, and one of them is today known as the Grotto of Tiberius.
The Grotto of Tiberius is a big cave open to the sea. Once it was a sumptuous villa built during the Tiberius' age and considered as
his private residence where he used to put up his legions.
In the Archaeological Museum of Sperlonga guests will see an art collection of objects once belonging to the villa,
part of which consists of sculptural groups in mid – Hellenistic style representing scenes from the Homeric legend and
mostly associated with Odysseus (Ulysses in Latin).
After the visit of the Museum guests will return to the coaches to be driven to Gaeta.
