San Gregorio

The small seaside village of San Gregorio is located along the eastern coast of Capo d’Orlando, among the splendid sea stacks overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands. Originally, the inhabited area of ​​San Gregorio was connected to the town only upstream through the path called Goletta, and only in the mid-twentieth century was it connected with a coastal road that today leads up to the modern marina. The village includes, besides the characteristic fishermen's houses, the square and the church dedicated to the saint who gives it its name. Its beach is a renowned seaside resort which in the sixties inspired the Genoese singer-songwriter Gino Paoli who wrote his famous song Sapore di Sale right here.
