Touring Vendicari Reserve

Here nature is almost in symbiosis with the ruins of an ancient Byzantine settlement of which the necropolis and the Byzantine Cuba are still clearly visible.

The Vendicari Reserve is dominated by sand dunes, a protected ecosystem for the nesting of sea turtles.

The Tuna Factory also called Batufu, was used to fish tuna and mackerel after the mating season, when they returned to the open sea.

In front of the tuna fishery stands a small island which, in the past, was the place where the Rais lived with his family and the owners.

Then the Cittadella del Maccari represents the Southern entrance to the Vendicari Reserve and its name derives from a Byzantine settlement from the VI century BC.

The village was used at the time of the Greeks and Phoenicians as a trading area and, even today, it is possible to observe ruins and stone houses.
