Villaggio Preistorico

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:05:14

Thirty minutes' walk south of San Pietro, dramatically sited on Punta Milazzese, an elevated headland surrounded by the sea, these 23 stone huts with round foundations are remnants of a prehistoric village dating back to the 14th century BC. Pottery found here shows distinctly Minoan influences, lending credence to the theory that the islanders maintained trading ties with the Cretans.

To get here, climb the steep series of steps south from Spiaggetta Zimmari, then follow the signs.
