Sperlonga and Terracina Tour
Let's Start Living The Italian Dream
Sperlonga and Terracina Day Tour: roman ruins, sea views, and local flavors
Nestled halfway between Rome and Naples, the charming town of Sperlonga offers stunning views from a high cliff overlooking the sea. With its narrow streets and stairways, Sperlonga maintains the charm of a traditional Italian fishing village. This picturesque town remains a hidden gem where visitors can enjoy a calm, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere.
In ancient Roman times, Sperlonga was a favorite retreat for Roman emperors. Today, the main attraction is the “Grotta di Tiberius,” a limestone cave complex that was part of a private villa used by Emperor Tiberius to entertain his guests. The villa featured an impressive collection of art objects, including statues and marble masterpieces, many of which are still displayed in the nearby archaeological museum. After a morning tour, we will enjoy a delightful lunch at a restaurant with stunning sea views.
In the afternoon, we will continue to the town of Terracina, an ancient town that became prominent during the Roman era, particularly with the construction of the Appian Way. In the 2nd century AD, under Emperor Trajan, the port expansion brought wealth to the city, helping it grow and thrive. The modern town sits atop the ancient one, and the main square is the site of the old Roman forum. The Temple of Jupiter Anxur, one of Lazio’s most significant Republican sanctuaries, still stands today. Perched in a commanding position, it offers visitors breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
This tour is also a great stop for those heading to the Amalfi Coast, offering a chance to explore hidden gems away from the crowds. Sperlonga and Terracina provide authentic Italian charm, perfect for discovering quieter, local spots before reaching the coast.
