The houses of the village are arranged in a protective semicircle and tell the story of numerous raids, but also of the life of the fishermen and farmers who still animate the town today. Cipressa is a renowned tourist destination where visitors spend a few days resting and then continue their way down the cycle path to discover the beauties of the Riviera di Ponente, over 50 kilometers of coastline with the French city of Toulon in the distance.
