Castellammare del Golfo
Previous to boarding or after disembarking you will discover a town which has always been devoted to the sea. This can be acknowledged in the old town, right next to the harbor, with its specific and charming architecture, and most importantly in the excellent cuisine, ranging from pane cunsatu to the famous couscous.
Not far from the harbor, one of the most beautiful postcards of the Mediterranean can be found along the coast: it’s the Tonnara di Scopello, the place where the bluefin tuna fishing campaigns used to be setup and where, later, the fish used to be prepared for its conservation.
San Vito Lo Capo
San Vito is located at the tip of a long cape made of carbonate rock. Due to its origin, it’s characterized by clear colors and large sandy areas.
Its underwater potential is huge although it is only known by a few. This assures a surprisingly exclusive experience while the crowd gets tanned on the magnificent white beach right in front.
The village recalls African atmospheres while offering every kind of service and an exciting night life with plenty of special venues.
The famous and wild Zingaro Nature Reserve, on the other hand, houses breath-taking trekking hikes for every level.
Ustica
The island of Ustica houses the first Italian Marine Protected Area since more than 30 years now. A Natural Reserve takes care of the beauty on land, as well.
Scuba or free diving, or even simply while swimming, the colors and the richness of its sea will charm you with strong emotions. This is why there’s no better place to start diving.
The atmosphere in the picturesque little village, created by the Bourbons in the XIX century, is friendly as if the time had stopped. Since agriculture is still today one of the major resources of the island, you’ll be amazed by the local wines and cuisine served in the few small restaurants.
Finally, more or less demanding trekking hikes along the southern coast or in the woods on the edge of the ancient crater will complete an unforgettable experience.
