Riviera di Ulisse
This part of the Italian coastline, stretching 60km along the southern flank of the Lazio region, was named after Homer’s mythical hero-voyager, Ulysses — Remember, he did stay a year, so he and his crew had plenty of time to explore the coast in between wining and dining with the sorceress Circe — is a sight to see.
With its picturesque cities and towns dotting the landscape, a handful of islands close by out at sea, the crystal clear shades-of-blue Tyrrhenian, vineyards filled with juicy grape just waiting to be turned into award-winning wine, seafood dishes of every type to whet your palate and a national park to explore, what’s not to like about it.
Must-see stops in Gaeta, San Felice Circeo and Terracina.
Follow in the footsteps of Ulysses.

Lovely pics. The Christ statue reminds one of Christ the Redeemer in Rio.
That’s the statue of San Francesco on Mt. Orlando overlooking Gaeta, Italy. Not quite the size of the Christ in Rio, but it’ll do. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Much appreciated.
