Marzamemi is an ancient fishing village, now a touristic, seafaring and fishing center just over 20 km (12 miles) from Noto. The name of this old village comes from the Arabic “Marsà al-hamām”, which means “Bay of the Turtledoves,” since the small birds have to pass through the area during their migrations. Today, Marzamemi radiates charm and color with an assortment of fascinating restaurants located in a beautiful setting. Colorful flowers flow down from every window and lovely boutiques surround the square. An ideal place to savor local seafood, spend a summer afternoon or stop for an aperitif and a romantic dinner after spending the day at one of the beautiful beaches nearby.

In recent years, Marzamemi has become one of the main centers of the nightlife in Southeastern Sicily. Therefore, if you are looking for a tranquil place, it is not advisable to buy a property within the city center.
