Flavio Gioia – Tourist landing in Lazio in the Gulf of Gaeta
Just in front of the ancient Borgo di Elena, once the city’s fishing district, very close to Gaeta’s historic center, is the Flavio Gioia Nautical Base, a port in Lazio for boats and super yachts.
Thanks to the mountain range of the Aurunci Mountains, which, with its 1,500 meters in height to the north of the bay provides the bay with protection from major crossings, the Gulf of Gaeta is considered, for mooring and navigation, one of the safest places in the entire Mediterranean Sea.
