Little white and blue houses worn out by the saltiness, small wooden boats and the scent of the sea. This small seaside village in the province of Syracuse is Marzamemi. It rises entirely on the sea and its name comes from the Arabic "Marsà al hamen," meaning Bay of the Turtledoves, the birds that pass through here in spring. Another hypothesis instead has it that its name comes from the simple union of the two Arabic words marza (port) and memi (small).
Little alleys, scents, and fishermen selling their catch every day!

Marzamemi is small and can be visited exclusively on foot. We begin the walk from the promenade that overlooks Isola Piccola, known as Islet Brancati. The small port la Balata, which, along with the Fossa, is one of Marzamemi's two small natural harbors. Picturesque and colorful fishermen's boats are usually docked here. The port is also overlooked by the famous Tonnara di Marzamemi, one of the oldest and most important in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, second only to that of Favignana. Then walking down the small and picturesque Vicolo Villadorata, past the arch, you will enter the heart of the ancient Borgo di Marzamemi: Piazza Regina Margherita. At the end of the alley is the old Church of San Francesco da Paola, or Church of the Tonnara. On the opposite side of the square, stands the new Church of San Francesco da Paola, built in 1945 in sandstone, a typical local material.
Among the most beautiful beaches in Marzamemi are the Spiaggia della Spinazza, the Baia del Cavettone, the Spiaggia di San Lorenzo, the Spiaggia di Vendicari, of the Spiaggia di Calamosche.
Nearby within a few minutes' drive are Portopalo di Capo Passero, the small island of Correnti and the Vendicari Nature Reserve.
