This picturesque place has a rich historical and cultural heritage. It is known since ancient times. As the legend says, when the Trojan War ended, many of its heroes went to these fertile shores. The famous resort is closely connected with the name of the legendary Odyssey. His ships entered the Gulf of Gaeta to replenish the supply of fresh water.

He stayed in Terracina, where he had to bury the nearest friend of Elpenor, lived on Cape Circeo in love with the sorceress Circe, visited the Pontic Islands, whose modern inhabitants dispute the history of this beautiful love from Circeo. This is why the resort is often called the "Odyssey Coast".
