Environment > costa viola
   
The Tyrrhenian coastline area constitutes a great panoramic and cultural heritage. The terraces built on the hills that overhang the sea, witness a unique connection between man and nature in overcoming the steep grounds and in using the benign effects of the sea, but they also give prospect to valuable initiatives of development for the preservation of the ground and the improvement in the production of specific cultivations. Costa Viola ows its name to the reflections of light that, especially when the sun sets, colour the sparkling sea. Just a few meters in and deep into the sea the depths look like a real submerged paradise with caves and sponge colonies, oasis of Poseidon. An almost untouched habitat that is home to many fish and mollusc species.
