The National Park of Circeo is situated along the Tyrrhenian coast in the South of Rome, between Anzio and Terracina, and it extends itself for about 8.500 hectares in the province of Latina, in particular in the Towns of Latina, Sabaudia, San Felice Circeo and, for the insular part of the Island of Zannone, Ponza. Established in 1934, the Parco del Circeo was born in order to protect not only a single species but also a rich group of typical biomes with a consequent abundance of species which today has been defined as biodiversity. The different environments of the National Park of Circeo can be easily reached by several roads, and visited through by public roads and by roads linking one estate to the other (wetlands and other agricultural areas between the forest and the promontory), pedestrian paths (on the promontory and in Zannone), cycling and pedestrian tracks with pathsigns (in the forest), and some equipped paths (didactic path from the Visitor Center, memory path to Cocuzza, sentiero natura "botanical garden" in Villa Fogliano) with informative panels and equipped access (dune).Moreover, the National Park of Circeo is well-organised as far as handicapped people are concerned, thanks both to its natural plain ground and to the richness in paths which are accessible also with orthopaedic wheelchairs led by guides, and to the presence in the Visitor Center of some structures and equipment (sanitary service, crawler track for stairs) dedicated to specific activities to improve the general accessibility of the paths: for instance, the creation of the sentiero natura for blind people which has been integrated to the sentiero natura "botanical garden" in Villa Fogliano.
At National Park of Circeo, there is tourist accommodation available in hotels, farm holiday, farmhouse, residence self-catering accommodation, b&b, rooms for rent, holiday homes, camp sites and tourist villages.
