The nearby abundance of the precious rock allowed local sculptures to decorate every part of the community with unique pieces of art. The houses, the yards, the fountains, all carry an impressive art footprint, a spectacle that will capture every visitor\u2019s attention and interest. Some of the greatest Greek sculptors, like Vitalis and Sochou, were born in Isternia and a local Museum exhibits\u00a0their work and biographies. A charming, marble-paved path, links the main village to a sandy beach and the\u00a0seaside part, known as Isternia Bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/articles.grcycling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/istern1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Isternia -
