About this experience
Leaving behind the Gulf of Gaeta we will skirt the Regional Park of Monte Orlando, a place of considerable naturalistic, historical and religious interest. From our boat we take an exciting panoramic cruise, which after the Angevin-Aragonese Castle, follows the coast to the extreme point of the promontory: the Sanctuary of the Montagna Spaccata, with its characteristic chapel dedicated to the Holy Crucifix, built on an embedded rock between two cliffs and suspended over the deep blue sea.
Unforgettable will be the glimpse of the cliffs, more than 50 meters high, which drop sheer to the sea and of the natural caves, including the imposing Grotta del Turco
After the Serapo Beach, there is a small islet, its narrow and long shape resembles a ship, which is why it is called "Nave di Serapo".
