This tourist destination in Italy derives its name from the words of an Italian fisherman who kept his freshly caught fish in a small cave, near the beach of Cala Mariolu. The fisherman did not know, however, that the famous monk seal ate all the fish hidden in the cave. The fisherman then said ” Acca ce stà Mariolu ” (in Italian “Here there is a thief “) and since then, this exclamation gave the name to this fantastic Italian beach.
