Location

This attractive fishing village, which has developed into a resort, is situated in the eastern part of the north coast at the foot of the headland of the same name.

History

The ancient town of Agathyrnon once probably stood on this promontory. According to Diodorus it was founded by Agathyrnos, the son of Aiolos, the god of the wind. The only other piece of history to have been handed down about the town is that in 210 B.C. the consul Marcus Valerius Laevinus uprooted 4000 exiles, who had settled here, and moved them across to Bruttium.
