Text
This cliff-tumbling town sits 700 metres above sea level and promises sweeping views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. It’s quiet, quaint and retains an air of mystery about it following a devastating earthquake. Despite its small size, you’ll find outstanding scenery and beautiful Sicilian architecture.

Postcard-perfect points

Teatro Pietra Rosa is a must on any visit to Pollina! This 1970s amphitheatre is a prime panoramic point for views over the Medonie Mountains and, come summertime, it’s a hub for Sicilian arts and events. Be sure to squeeze in some wanders through the terracotta-tinged houses.

Sicilian feasts

This tiny town has no shortage of tasty traditional dishes. Think warm, fragrant bread baked with chopped anchovies and melted pecorino cheese. How about Pollina’s speciality, Macco di fave? This hearty soup is made with locally sourced broad beans and sweet fennel.
