Atina is a small village in the province of Frosinone, with about 4.500 inhabitants, but size does not always count, and indeed Atina is worth a visit for many reasons. First of all, its position: the village stands on a hill and is surrounded by a nice landscape, and is not far away from other interesting cities and villages that you might want to visit. Cassino, for example, is a very interesting city near Atina and is worth a visit from different points of view. Cassino is well-known all over the world because it was in this city that one of the bloodiest battles of World War II took place, and visiting Cassino, its museum and the Abbey of Montecassino means discovering something more about this part of our history. Cassino is a place to visit also because of the Terme Varroniane, a beautiful natural park, and of many monuments and buildings dating back to different epochs.
