A village that could be a jewel - We visited Pisciotta without an agency taking walks. Beautiful village with a wonderful view of the sea that resembles a nativity scene. It's a pity that the alleys are full of dog and cat poop, not because of the cleaning workers who are so busy but because the disrespect and rudeness of certain inhabitants. the square would be a nice meeting place if it were not largely occupied by restaurant tables. the village is difficult to access in summer due to lack of parking and many people give up coming for this reason . The usual refrain: you work for 2 summer months to be able to live a whole year and tourists must maintain this way of life. to the wise...!
