Rich in art and history, Cariati reflects in the legendary waters of the Ionian Sea. The picturesque Historical Centre, the winding streets, that makes it still look like a Medieval Fortress with unique and intact city walls, consisting of eight towers facing the sea. All this makes it a town of unparalleled beauty.
The time for a short walk, during which it’s possible to admire amazing views that it’s already changed, donated by the suggestive frame from the enchanting setting of an old town, we pass to the atmosphere of a more lively ,more colourful and equally extraordinary of a fishing village. Cariati is a place with an ancient seagoing tradition. In the local port, you can buy fresh fish directly from the numerous fishing boats returning from fishing. The pristine beaches, crystal clear sea, the sun ... are the ingredients for an unforgettable day.
This is how an illustrious tourist of the nineteenth century describes, the Neapolitan writer Cesare Malpiga (1804-1852) who visited it in 1846 for a short period whilst guest at an aristocratic family of the place: A small town astride a hill, divided in two by a road, flanked by other paths, with a bishopric, a seminary and the remainings of a castle, instead of gaia no, lorded by the sea, winds and clear in ancient history of the low times, famous for the passing of birds; inhabited by simple , quiet and hardworking people, quiet picturesque.
