User reviews
"During its heyday, Briatico was a popular destination for vacationers and a shining example of the coast of the gods. However, as time has passed, it has lost its luster and is now a somewhat neglected town that primarily attracts local tourists and returning emigrants during the holiday season. The beach may not be as bustling as it once was, earning it a two-star rating."
Santiago Arriaga
"On the beach, there are only two of the original five towers of the anti-Turkish defense system remaining. The Rocchetta tower, which was originally built by the Greeks, rebuilt by the Romans, and remodeled in the Middle Ages, is a high pentagonal coastal lookout tower. The Torre Sant'Irene tower was erected by the Spanish Royal Deputy government as a lookout against Barbary..."
