Cala Liberotto: a beach that comes from far away

The name Cala Liberotto does not come from tourism, nor from a modern invention. It is rooted in the sea and in history.

In the past, this beach was known as Cala Liparota, a name that most likely referred to the presence of sailors and fishermen from Lipari, in the Aeolian Islands. Between the 18th and 19th centuries, these stretches of coast were frequented by crews who used natural coves as landing points and temporary shelters during fishing activities.

Over time, due to imprecise cartographic and administrative transcriptions, the name Liparota gradually evolved into the present-day Liberotto. A linguistic transformation that left the deeper meaning untouched: a cove shaped by the sea, by landings and by ancient Mediterranean routes.
