Spiaggia Scala di Furno, Sandy beach in Porto Cesareo, Italy.
Description
Spiaggia Scala di Furno is a sandy beach along the Ionian coast where golden sand gradually gives way to deeper Mediterranean waters. The shoreline extends for several hundred meters with small rocky coves that create sheltered pockets for swimming.
History
The coast served as an important trading port in ancient times for Greek and Roman merchants exchanging goods. Remnants of these old settlements remain visible in some areas, telling the story of how long people have lived here.
Culture
The surrounding villages maintain a fishing heritage passed down through families, which you can see reflected in nearby restaurants. Local fishermen work in the early morning hours and bring their daily catch directly to the kitchens along the shore.
Practical
The beach offers lounger and umbrella rentals, with parking available within walking distance. It is best to arrive in the early morning to find good spots and avoid midday crowding.
Did you know?
