Sicilia: Olivieri, Tindari - Messina
Lagoon of Tindari. Local legend tells that the lagoon was created after a pilgrim who came to see the Madonna refused to pray to the Madonna because she was black. The woman accidentally dropped her baby into the ocean and the Madonna made the land rise to save the baby. The sands of Marinello have taken shape of the profile of the Madonna.
The Sanctuary of Tindari
Greek amphitheater
Greek colony of Tyndaris, founded by the tyrant of Syracuse Dionysius in 396 BC, to accommodate refugees from Sparta at the end of the Peloponnese War.
Olivieri Beach. Our last day at a beach. At least we found bars at this beach thanks to my cousin Enzo's tip.
Enjoying nice cold ice beer at the beach for only 1.20 euro . Unbeatable price. The cheapest we ever paid in Europe and most of it all with the best view possible.
