Acitrezza is the heart of the Protected Marine Riserva dei Ciclopi and the idyllic place for those who want to treat themselves to the purest thrills of the sea.

A Small village with ancient fishing traditions, it has inspired Giovanni Verga in Malavoglias, Acitrezza sees its landscape characterized by the Faraglioni, mighty rocks that rise from the sea: In The Odyssey these were hurled by Polyphemus against Ulysses’ craft. Here, too, the waterfront has excellent restaurants, bars and clubs that are home to numerous vacationers in the summer, just a stone’s throw from the mighty rocks.

Nearby, you may want to try some restaurant in Capomulini, a small town where you will find excellent restaurants serving seafood.
