A modest but powerful port. During a boat trip, still in Sicily, I learned that the island of this port bore the traces of an old city. By its strategic position in Sicily, this island was the relay point of many shipowners. The water around it is shallow on one side of the island. What allowed centuries ago, the development of a road connecting the island to the land. A first for the time. The water was slipping under the flat-bottomed boat, the seagulls were flying free in these salt-pans.
