The Town of Sperlonga, Italy

If you're planning to visit the Grotto of Tiberius, why not include a lunch or dinner stop in Sperlonga? The town sits on a hill overlooking the sea; in fact, many Romans consider Sperlonga "their" beach town. You can trek down to the beach and pay for a spot on the sand or remain in the historic town center and enjoy a relaxing meal on a sun-splashed piazza.
