Marina Di Andrano: Coast, Nature and Holiday Apartments

Marina Di Andrano draws attention to a coastline, paths between the town and the sea, and natural and cultural sites with different characteristics.

Coastal Paths and Places by the Water

The Tratturo Via Vecchia Mare hiking trail begins on Via Giovanni Caboto in Marina Di Andrano and reaches the coast at Marina Di Andrano. The Lungomare delle Agavi runs parallel to the coast and is a natural site of great value.

In Marina della Torre, the Grotta Verde is a bathing area and a sea cave. Inside, sunlight creates green-gold reflections. Fiume is also located in Marina della Torre; it is a bathing area named after a freshwater spring. Fiume was formerly used as a sheltered harbour for small boats. At the northern end of Marina Di Andrano, in the direction of Castro, there is a small harbour built between the rocks that provides shelter for small fishing and leisure boats.

La Botte is an area with shallow water.

Nature Among Rocks and Caves

Near the Grotta Verde in Marina Di Andrano, a blowhole can be observed during exceptionally strong storms. It is formed by wave action and fractured and/or karstified rock. On the rocky coast of Marina Di Andrano, which is made up of “Calcari di Castro”, so-called “solution pipes” can be observed at the Chianca Liscia site.

Grotta Zinzulusa, a cave, is located near Marina Di Andrano. Spiaggia di Porto Miggiano, a beach, is also located in the surrounding area. In the wider regional area around Marina Di Andrano are Spiaggia di Cala Casotto and Spiaggia di Porto Grande, both beaches.
