Cala Cinque denti

Five Teeth Bay - A popular spot for expensive yachts to moor in the shelter of this spectacular bay. On the south side it is possible to swim through a natural stone tunnel to reach a small inland sea pool, called Scarpetta di Cenerentola or Cinderella's slipper.

Punta di Nica

Nica - This minuscule fishing village is located in a lava gorge. Close by, there are thermal springs in the sea, which temperatures can reach almost 100°C. It is also home to a house belonging to Vincenzo Visco, former finance minister of Romani Prodi's two governments. The house fell foul of planning regulations and the owner received punitive fines.
