Pisciotta is a picturesque town on a hill that dominates the sea, in whose water there is Posidonia, a plant that lives only in uncontaminated seas.
On the sea there is Marina di Pisciotta hamlet, not far from Pisciotta. The coastis made of hills covered by olive trees that slope down towards the sea. The port is almost complete: there is a fleet of fishermen of the navy that works there for the whole year. The seaside is made of wonderful beaches, for example the beach of Marina and the sandy beaches of Caprioli.
There are two biggest beaches around Marina: the one of Ficaiola (south) and the one of Gozzipuodi or Acqua Bianca (north). These beaches are made of pebbles (in Pisciotta they are called agliaredde, they are flat and round). SS. Apostoli Pietro e Paolo church is very interesting, it's a real jewel of Baroque art. In September there is a nice marathon dedicated to olive trees, Maratona internazionale degli ulivi.
