Aci Trezza
About the destination
Aci Trezza sits on the Riviera dei Ciclopi, a stretch of Ionian coastline defined by spectacular basalt formations. The eight Faraglioni sea stacks and the island of Lachea form a protected marine reserve — according to Homer, these are the rocks the Cyclops Polyphemus threw at Ulysses. The village retains its authentic fishing character: painted wooden boats line the harbour, and trattorias serve the freshest catch steps from the water. Giovanni Verga set his masterpiece 'I Malavoglia' here, cementing Aci Trezza's place in Italian literary heritage.
