About
Quick facts: This nature reserve extends over 200 hectares and protects the rare Mediterranean maquis covering the limestone cliffs above the Tyrrhenian Sea. Within its borders live over 50 species of birds, including the endangered Eleonora's falcon, which nests on the steep rocks.
Highlights: The light limestone cliffs rise 70 meters above the sea, and beneath them the water is clear turquoise like Caribbean beaches. At the top stands a medieval 14th-century tower built by the Normans as a lookout against pirate attacks.
Insider tips
- Bring binoculars to watch the falcons and swifts flying above the cliffs at dusk.
- The best photo is obtained from the trail leading to the tower, with the sea in the background.
- Avoid midday hours from June to August because the temperature on the open rock exceeds 35 degrees.
- Wear closed shoes with a sole because the trail is rocky and slippery in places.
