Distant winters, wonderful winters, rich language, wineries – we all know what makes Italy so special. The small towns and villages of Avesti are bordered by sandy and rocky beaches, high mountains, stunning valleys, snowy streams, and dormant volcanoes. How many idyllic villages are nearby?
Marina Kuricilla
Procida’s oldest fishing village is one of Italy’s most beautiful sights thanks to its purple, yellow, pink, blue, and green houses. Established in the 17th century, Marina Coricilla has a unique, comfortable and non-repetitive atmosphere.
The ponds are filled with woodpeckers and fish shells usually with screaming fish and russ. A former forest, Terra Murata serves as the island’s highest point, overlooking Naples. The 18th Saudi aristocratic palace, Hotel la Casa sul Mare, has 10 fully decorated rooms, and in the La Corricella room you can sample typical local fish dishes.
Bossa
This medieval village, also known as Sa Costa, is divided in two by the Temo River. The only tidal river in rgi is a favorite place for kayakers, in the waters of the western Sardinia skis and many pilates. In this village, stone-built houses and stately mansions built on sunny pink rocks line each other.
Once famous for its pottery, Bossa is still filled with historic shops selling pottery products, coral jewellery, and woven baskets. Built in the 12th century by the Tuscan Malaspina family, Serravalle Tower opens onto the city.
Sperlonga
The history of Sperlonga, on top of a cliff between Rome and Naples, is hidden in Greek mythology. The village’s sunny white church guided Odysseus’ ship as a beacon. Sperlonga is located at the top of the labyrinth of underground sea caves, where also lived a nymph of the same name. According to legend, the god Jupiter fell in love with Sperlong and turned into a meteorite to be with her.
In fact, it was his passion that caused the tall rocks on which the village was later built to avoid Muslim raiders. Today, the village consists mostly of terraced houses and winding steps overlooking the beach, where locals sunbathe next to ancient Roman columns and the ruins of Tiberius Caesar’s opulent cave villa. Near the blue sandy beaches of the village you can find the wonderful Virgilio Grand Hotel, which also has an area full of sea winters.
Carlofort
Carloforte, located on the Sardinian island of San Pietro, was founded by a Genoese fishing family in the 18th century. As a result, the ceremonial village has a sunny Genoese courtyard and narrow staircases that you would expect in Ligure. Carlforte is the only place in the entire Baltic Sea where we still play mattans, a hunt in which we trap the mouths of rare bluefin tuna in a net and later kill them.
For the locals, this brutal and controversial custom is considered a sacred ritual. The custom takes place every summer during the Girotonno Festival, when nine tuna dishes are served and a guided tour of the huge local tuna is organized.
