Story # 1

In the land of the Messapians, among the sacred rocks, one day the Epimelid nymphs were soaring in dances with sweet and sensual movements. The young Messapi, who grazed their flocks in that place, were conquered but, unaware of being in the presence of divine creatures, they challenged them, presuming to be superior in dance. At the end of the confrontation, despite the unequivocal superiority of the nymphs, the shepherds

naively claimed a victory that in any case would never be recognized, their fate had already been sealed at the moment of the challenge and the nymphs, with their curses, transformed them into plants (olive trees) that the desperation of the young people promptly began to contort .

In teaching: do not challenge the gods.

Any time of year is fine, to reach them you have to cross a stretch in the open countryside, better if the ground is dry, otherwise take into account that you will muddy your shoes.

Fascinating place that attracts for the majesty of huge boulders sculpted and smoothed by meteoric events.
