Few weeks ago I decided to walk into a path where I generally don’t go.
I started my walk from the hamlet of Torca, nearby Sant’Agata sui due Golfi, and took a slippery paved path because I wanted to go to the beach of Crapolla. After walking for about 20 minutes I went on a beautiful path surrounded by plants of Myrtle, Lentiscus and Asphodels. I was not alone as a funny and friendly dog, that generally follows me when I do the Sirenuse trail, was with me.
The views from there are breathtaking, you can see the archipelago of Li Galli and the small islands of Vetara and Isca (where the artistic family de Filippo has built a beautiful Villa). It was so quiet and relaxing that I decided to stop and enjoy the silence which was only broken by the sound of a small goiter boat.
I then took more than 500 steps down to the small chapel dedicated to Saint Peter (in medieval times, the chapel was a side of an important Benedictine Monastery).
While walking down to the beach, I noticed some ancient ruins of roman cisterns.
There was no one on the beach except me and a dog, so I decided to have a swim.
The sea water was very cold but I loved it!
