Lille Figari - Cheap flights

First traces of settlement on this area are dated back to around 3000 years B.C. The town was developing in ancient times, mainly thanks to roads' construction, which highly facilitated transport from the vineyard to the port. But civilization progress proved out to be calamitous for Figari. Shallowing of rivers and siltation of ports made Figari cut off from the seaside trading once again, at the dawn of the ancient times.

Walking around the town, you can admire the charming architecture – French houses from stone. The oldest monument in the municipality is a Roman chapel dedicated to San Quilico. Covered with shale roof chapel was built in 12th century. It is tiny – is barely 7.5 metres long and 3 metres wide. It is composed of one nave and apse.
