The town has a rich cultural history, ranging from Ulysses to the Emperor Tiberius, whose 'Villa di Tiberio' and its museum were rediscovered in 1957. One can swim nearby in the mediterranean sea; with the background of the mountainous region surrounding the medieval Sperlonga township, one has the sense of surreal historical enchantment.

Yoga classes at Fondi

It is situated in the middle of a mild and gentle plain surrounded by the Ausoni Mountains and a strip of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The Via Appia runs through its entire territory. There are many historical monuments as well as wonderful beaches and pleasant sceneries.

Its regional cuisine is renowned throughout the world and many summer festivities are held at this time of year, which makes this area a very special place to hold a yoga workshop.
