Slightly further away (7km) you’ll find one of the area’s most beautiful beaches Tonnarella. For some of most spectacular shorelines in the region, head for San Vito lo Capo beach in Trapani. It’s a truly stunning area, backed by the majestic mountains that surround the town. Want to combine a city trip with a great day by the seaside?

Day trips from your campsite in Sicily
Looking for a great day out close to your campsite? Then visit the lovely town of Marsala. Famous for the sweet wines used for making the well- known marsala sauce. Explore the magnificent countryside in the area and stop at one of its many vineyards. Sicily’s capital Palermo is just over 90 minutes by car, but well worth a visit. Music lovers head for the magnificent opera house Teatro Massimo. A must see is the 12th century architectural masterpiece Cappella Palatina, an impressive and exquisitely decorated chapel. The most popular and well known attraction on the island, the Valley of the Temples is 116 km away from the campsite, in Agrigento (116 km) and most definitely worth seeing if you’re a history and culture lover.

Things to see and do near the campsite in Sicily
Fun in or on the water plays a major part in keeping the kids happy in Sicily. Take them to Aquasplash water park in Tre Fontane for a splashing good time. Or on a boat trip from Trapani to the island of Favignana to see the ancient caves (30 minutes). Alternatively pack a picnic and head for a relaxing day out in the Parco dei Monti Sicani nature park by Giuliana. Few places are as friendly to children as Sicily, but parents need spoiling as well. So drop in at the historic cellars of the Donnafugata Winery in Marsala for a memorable wine tasting experience!
