San Felice Circeo

Overview

San Felice Circeo has a history that is intertwined with myth: it was here that Ulysses landed, seduced by the Sorceress Circe. This perched village, built on a promontory to watch over the sea and its possible dangers, has maintained traces of medieval architecture in its appearance. But the heart of the town is its sea: not to be missed is a boat trip around the promontory, or the splendid ascent to Monte Circeo, which on one side goes through a fragrant ilex grove while on the other it winds along the hillside, but in both cases guarantees a unique spectacle. Finally, to properly conclude a trip to this village, one must try its cuisine, which, in addition to traditional seafood dishes, offers delicious cheeses and fine, elegant wines.
