Porto Selvaggio Nature Reserve: Where everyone can find fossils without having to search for them
Activities: We hiked through the beautiful nature reserve, exploring the trails and the coast. We started near Torre Uluzzo and walked towards Torre dell’Alto. We also explored the forest, meadows, and a stone staircase. We enjoyed throwing stones into the water
