Detailed itinerary

Small village where time seems to have stopped. Magical place that overlooks one of the most beautiful panoramas of the Mediterranean: the stacks and the tuna fishery of scopello. The village is also the entrance to the Zingaro reserve, a protected marine nature reserve that became such thanks to the struggles of the inhabitants of Castellammare del Golfo. After a brief stop in the village to have a drink and buy the typical sandwich (pane cunsato), a walk in the reserve and maybe a nice swim will do the soul good. Don't forget to bring your change of clothes

Place steeped in history because one of the first settlements of the Phoenicians, the Stagnone is also famous for the roads (of Phoenician origin) built on the shallow sea bed, which allowed to move from one island to another on foot or with carts. especially when it was low tide. Another attraction are the salt pans with the pools that turn pink, thanks to the presence of shrimps which the flamingos are fond of. At sunset, the sun's rays meet the pink of the pools, giving a unique light in the world. The perfect place for a romantic and non-romantic aperitif.
