One of the most beautiful areas of Sicily is located along the island's eastern coast, the Riviera dei Ciclopi: this is a land where history and legend come together, enwrapping every place and village with fantastic and fascinating stories, from that of Aeneas, who landed here to save his friend Achaemenides, to that of Jupiter, who hung the bodies of the Titans he defeated in the forest once present in the area.

There is also the legend of Aci and Galatea, two mythological characters whose love for each other gave life to the villages scattered along the Riviera dei Ciclopi and in the immediate hinterland.
