Formia is a small town/city on the Mediterranean Coast of Italy. It is located 1/2 way between Rome and Naples, and lies on the Roman era Appian Way.

As far as small towns go, it's full of excitement. The main avenue is via Vitruvio, it is 10-12 blocks packed with small boutiques and gelaterias (ice-cream parlors). There are a few nice beaches next to Formia. Terracina, Gaeta, and Sperlonga are three towns next to Formia that have nice beaches. Formia is not really a beach town, it's more of a port. It was founded by ancient Romans and Cicerone was killed there.
