After exploring the city on your own, you'll surely want to learn more about the history and fascinating facts about the resort — so we recommend joining a sightseeing tour in Gaeta. You'll uncover the secrets of the ancient fortress and visit sacred sites that attract thousands of pilgrims.
As an alternative to a bus tour in Gaeta, you can take an excursion to nearby Naples or the capital city of Rome, home to some of the world’s most stunning landmarks. Tours from Gaeta also go to the world-famous open-air museum city of Pompeii, destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
A real highlight is a sea excursion from Gaeta to the Pontine Islands. On clear days, you can spot the peaks of the two largest islands — Ponza and Ventotene — from the coast. The Pontine archipelago includes Ponza, Palmarola, Zannone, and Gavi (to the northwest), as well as Ventotene and Santo Stefano (to the southeast). As for prices, a boat trip from Gaeta to the Pontine Islands costs around 50–60 EUR per person.
