The magical sea of Sicily
San Vito Lo Capo, located on the north-western side of Sicily, is the perfect destination for those who want to disconnect from city stress and enjoy a real beach holiday. Its waters, in fact, multi-awarded with the prestigious Blue Flag, a sign of crystal-clear and limpid sea, are ideal for young and old alike!
With its seafaring vocation, this white town has gorgeous sights to offer its offers. Tonnara del Secco, for example, is a truly magical and authentic place. Here, you will find ancient and important historical evidence of what was once the area’s main activity: tuna fishing. In this place, so full of charm where you can imagine the adventures of the fishermen during the famous ‘mattanza’, nets and old tools are still preserved.
For nature lovers, the Zingaro Reserve is definitely not to be missed. An unspoilt and protected oasis, where you can get involved in fantastic excursions and trekking, but also unforgettable swims. It is not difficult to glimpse the fins of playful dolphins on the horizon! The historic centre of San Vito Lo Capo is enlivened by characteristic alleyways, steeped in folklore, and by the Chiesa Madre, an ancient fortress dating back to the 14th century and built by the ferocious Saracens, which later became a place of worship.
