Explore the "Grotta di Tiberio"
NonnaLou Says: Do take the time to visit the "Grotta di Tiberio" and Sperlonga's Archaeological Museum, "Il Museo Archeologico Nazionale", located on the Via Flacca. In the grotto were found fragments of huge sculptures which once adorned the man-made fishponds at the cave mouth. These...
domenicococozza Says: The museum of Sperlonga is a dedication to the trials of Oddyseus. Housed in what was a villa built for the Emperor Tiberius, there are sculptures found in the Villa and the nearby grotto.
domenicococozza Says: Sperlonga is a beautiful little town built on a cliff face overlooking the Meditteranean. The whole town is whitewashed with narrow alleyways that climb and fall the cliffface. Its like being in North Africa. Amongst the tiny houses are lots of great little restaurants.
domenicococozza Says: Sperlonga is beach, beach and more beach. This is a resort for serious sun worshippers.Beautiful golden sands and gentle tides make Sperlonga the ideal resort for just chilling out.At one end of the beach there are mild natural hot springs that bubble up through the sandand...

Beware of the gremlins who get in front of you and
unravelau Says: put an obstacle in your path so that you fall flat on your face like I did. I then had cause to sit and reflect here, while watching my knee swell to twice its normal size and I generally felt sorry for myself.
unravelau Says: My Italian friend reckons that there is only one dangerous snake in Italy.......he assured me that this isn't it. But what I want to know is, did the snake know that it wasn't supposed to be dangerous..............it scared me.
Sperlonga gets very, very busy in August, and hotels and restaurants near the beach can be rather expensive.
Unique Suggestions: Best months to visit are May / June and September / October.
Fun Alternatives: Consider finding accommodation outside of Sperlonga, perhaps in a peaceful retreat near the mountain town of Itri.
Please take a look at my "Itri Pages" at Virtual tourist.
