Via Francesco de Sanctis, 386, Pachino

The cluster sits at the south-eastern tip of Sicily on the limestone plain around Pachino and Portopalo di Capo Passero. The Ionian coast is close, with the promontory and island of Capo Passero and the beaches and rocky stretches between Marzamemi and Portopalo within the local area. The Vendicari Nature Reserve lies nearby along this coast, with lagoons and coastal wetlands. Marzamemi is the nearest small centre of note on the coast, with the historic tuna fishery buildings around its harbour. Noto is the nearest larger historic town in the area, with the Baroque centre for which this part of the province is known. This corner of Sicily is known for tomato cultivation around Pachino and for fishing villages on the coast.
