Sampieri is an ancient fishing village, still retaining parts of its original structure, as well as sections of its old paved streets; and it holds a fascination that will bewitch the tourist. Moored at the jetty throughout the day, at dusk the rowing boats set sail; it is a place to pause, to enjoy the breezes off the sea; to experience the picturesqueness of the neighbouring countryside. The bay, the spacious beach, and the ruins of the Pisciotto create a unique atmosphere. The town-centre offers a variety of services: supermarket, chemist, post office, newsagent, tobacconist, bazaar, ice-cream parlor, bar, bakeries, a general store, restaurants and cafes and a hairdresser. The beach at Sampieri, 3 km in lenght, consists of fine, golden sands, and is bordered by scenic dunes. It extends from the rocky outcrops of the Pisciotto, where the ancient former kiln factory Penna is situated. Next to the beach are a restaurant, bar and discotheque, supervised parking, and a pinewod area.
