Castellamare Del Golfo
The natural landscape that surrounds it is equally fascinating and also offers mountain enthusiasts the possibility of interesting outings, thanks to the 1064-metre-high Monte Inici and its trails and caves to explore.
When you talk about Castellammare, you can’t fail to mention Scopello, a picturesque village that grew up around an 18th-century “baglio” (fortified farm), whose coastline is made up of little coves with white pebble beaches: a place that has become the favourite spot of many tourists. In Scopello, there’s also an ancient “tonnara” (tuna fishery) that is well worth a visit, not least for the two spectacular sea stacks that tower above the crystal-clear water. And there’s another unique place that you really can’t miss: the Zingaro nature reserve, with its turquoise sea, red earth trails, rare plants and animals and natural wonder. So much wonder.
