Marine Biology Museum

The Pietro Parenzan Museum of Marine Biology in Porto Cesareo is a fascinating place showcasing the rich marine life of the Ionian Sea.

The collection includes more than 900 exhibits, including marine mollusks, crustaceans and a nearly complete collection of Ionian fish.

Interactive exhibits, such as the Fisherman's Hall with resin models of fish, allow visitors to learn about their morphological features and habits. The museum emphasizes the preservation of the environment and the revaluation of local traditions, including old Porto Cesareo fish recipes.
