Between Rome and Naples, along the Tyrrhenian Sea and surrounded by some of the most beautiful corners of our South, lies the town of Sperlonga. It is part of the enchanting Riviera di Ulisse, a stretch of coastline named after the legendary Greek hero Ulysses, or Odysseus, as he is known in Greek mythology.

We are talking about an area of Italy steeped in history, myth, and natural beauty, which makes it a perfect destination for travelers seeking both relaxation and a touch of ancient lore. The Riviera di Ulisse gets its name from the adventures of Ulysses as chronicled in Homer’s epic, The Odyssey.
