Sistiana Bay
Baia di Sistiana
A small bay on Trieste's northwest karst coast with emerald waters and pebble beaches, where locals go to swim and boat in summer.
Sistiana Bay lies near Duino. The Portopiccolo harbor resort, built in a former quarry beneath the cliffs, has a marina, restaurants and a paid bathing area, while the public pebble beach allows free swimming. The entrance to the bay is one of the starting points of the Rilke Trail. From the city center, take bus line 44 or 51 for about 35 minutes; parking is tight on summer weekends.
