Marzamemi started and continues as a tuna fishing village. No Greek roots here! It was settled first by by the Arabs and originally called Marsa' al Hamen (which translates as "harbour of the turtle doves"). Why I have no idea.

+ Looking into the central plaza
+ The cathedral on one side of the plaza
+ Fishermans' houses on another side of the plaza, looking more Moroccan or Arab than Italian
+ The old dock area
+ Flower arranging (by Mr Gumby?)
+ Every lane leads to the seaLeggi altro
The origin of the name is controversial: whoever is interested can look it up on wiki but needs to read italian! There are 4 possible meanings. Harbour of the turtle doves was given because of the (abundant) migration of the birds in spring time.xx van
