Heart of the “Marine Reserve Punta Campanella”, it has preserved its agricultural vocation. Its territory is covered by the intense green of its citrus fruit trees, by the silver of its ancient olive trees and by the various tones of colour of the Mediterranean bushes, all set in one of the most beautiful coasts in the world.

Rich in hidden beaches, quiet inlets and small bays that over the centuries have offered refuge to fishermen and sailors: Oscines, Etruscans, Greeks and Romans. As the legend says, the mythical Ulysses sailed along this coast, same coast that gave refuge with the famous Galli islands to the even more mythical mermaids. Coasts that have suffered plundering at the hands of the terrible Turkish pirates and also preserve remains of imposing towers and of splendid Roman villas.

They are insidious rocks, feared by sailors of all time, and, as the legend relates, where the Mythical Mermaids, half woman and half fish, lived. No sailor was able to resist the fatal attraction of their song, causing them to be shipwrecked on the rocks. The mythical sailor Ulysses was able to resist their song by tying himself to the mast of his ship and making his crew plug their ears.

There are those, even today, who claim to notice darting shadows among the blue – green of the sea and hear a strange song as the waves beat along the coast.
