Pozzallo (Sicilian: Puzzaddu) is a town and comune in the province of Ragusa, Sicily, Italy. Four beaches in Pozzallo have received the Blue Flag award by the FEE (Foundation for Environmental Education), a prestigious award given to beaches which meet strict criteria dealing with water quality, environmental education and information, environmental management, and safety and other services. Only eight beaches in Sicily have received the Blue Flag, including the four located in Pozzallo.[1]. Pozzallo is a popular location to visit over the summer. It attracts many tourists from all over the world including: America, France, Germany, and Australia. The best time to go to Pozzallo is during Ferr'Agosto; which is during the 2nd-3rd week of August. This is a time where everyone sleeps on the beaches of Pozzallo over night; they camp out and have bon fires. People have little parties on the beach during this period of time as well. It is also a major port which creates the link between Sicily and Malta (about 90 minutes on high speed ferry) for passengers on a catamaran service. References
