SAMPIERI
Driving
the coastal road Pozzallo-Marina di Ragusa, stands the lovely village
of Sampieri, an administrative division of Scicli. It is an old
fishing village, perhaps the most picturesque in the province’s
shore, its stone houses jostled with one another, bordering a maze
of narrow streets.
Fine
accommodation and recreational facilities have been growing of recent,
what has contributed to increasing the tourism influx.
Sampieri
boasts one of the most beautiful shores of all Sicily comprising
a long sand beach and lovely rocky cliffs. ‘U stabilimientu
bruciatu’ (Sicilian for “the burnt building”),
lying on the eastern cliff, a former tile factory accidentally burnt
in the mid 1900s, has become an attraction thanks to its impressive
look, even chosen as a setting for numerous movies. |
