This was the third trip to Italy. We choose cheap hotels, always 3*. There was something to compare. Rimini was cheaper and better in every way, but. . . It is already cool in Rimini at this time, and we have extended the summer. The Tyrrhenian Sea is more interesting than the Adriatic. The local flavor is more tangible here (although the people and traditions are different here).

This was the third trip to Italy. We choose cheap hotels, always 3*. There was something to compare. Rimini was cheaper and better in every way, but. . .
It is already cool in Rimini at this time, and we have extended the summer. The Tyrrhenian Sea is more interesting than the Adriatic. The local flavor is more tangible here (although the people and traditions are different here). From Rimini it is convenient to travel to Venice, Florence. From Terracina to Rome and Naples. We went on our own, without guides - much cheaper and without our crowd. For example, a bus ticket to San Felice Circeo costs 1.40, and an excursion costs 25 or even 35 euros. The place is amazing! Hiking to the old town is a 40-minute walk from the hotel. You can climb up the mountain to the temple of Jupiter by bus or on foot - not at all tiring, but what ruins, what views on the way! For example, a mini-park with almond trees. You buy an entrance ticket and wander there at least all day. The air is divine. After two weeks of stay, we received a healing effect for the whole year. The hotel is better located than Torre del Sol, which is generally on the edge. Riva Gaia is 50% closer to the center, you can not drive, but walk. Food is worse than in Rimini, definitely, but better than in "Blue Riva" in the same Terracina. In the hotel, in addition to our Scandinavians, Italians, Poles. In the restaurant, along with tourists, locals dine. The staff does not speak Russian, they speak English. All problems can be solved by phone - call the reception to the host company. We did just that. After that, they began to give us a menu in Russian and solved a number of other minor problems: plates and glasses in the room, connecting the phone... The host company seems to be hacking. We were supposed to be taken out in the morning, but they took us out only at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Although other tourists were taken away in the morning. For this, we did not leave the room at checkout time - 12, and left only at 15 o'clock. Departure delayed for a day, but overnight in a luxury hotel in Naples. There were adventures, and communication, and wonderful rest, and sightseeing fatigue. This year we went to Turkey and yearned for Italy there.
When I arrive in Terracina, I drink not only cappuccino, I turn into a fool, etc. etc. No wonder we went there!
