Getting around
Arriving
none nearby. No station in town; Formia-Gaeta on the Rome to Naples line is the railhead, with Cotral and local buses covering the last 8 km around the gulf.
Tickets · Cotral + local buses
Cotral app and tabaccherie.
Validate when boarding.
The medieval quarter, the Montagna Spaccata cleft and the Serapo beach are spread out enough that the local bus earns its keep.
On foot
- ·The Montagna Spaccata sanctuary walk into the split cliff is Gaeta's singular sight; the old quarter under the Angevin castle does the evening
Taxis and driving
- ·Handy for the gulf and the Formia connections; old Gaeta's lanes are not for cars
