Its beautiful sea, with clear waters and intense colors, is one of the main attractions of the area, but Marzamemi offers much more.

Marzamemi is also famous for its cuisine, which is based on the freshness of the local catch and the quality of traditional Sicilian ingredients. The village of Marzamemi is characterized by its whitewashed houses and narrow, winding streets, which lead to the main square, where bars, restaurants and souvenir stores are located. Although in recent years it has become very popular with tourists, it is definitely worth a visit.
