Salema

Salema is a small fishermen village, with the Beach at its feet. The streets are narrow and dedicated to the ocean, with small white houses climbing up the hill.
One can watch the boats returning to the beach after a fishing trip and then sample some of the octopus, moray or white seabream that the fishermen have caught at one of the local restaurants.
In the village of Salema, there are also some ruins of a Roman villa, as well as of an old fish canning factory, testifying to the area’s longstanding fishing traditions.
The beach has a beautiful promenade, as well as café and restaurant terraces overlooking the sea. To the east, the landscape is wilder and more peaceful, and in the rocky cliffs you can see some of the footprints left by the dinosaurs that inhabited this region roughly 140 million years ago
