  • hire car included

Experience for yourself the unique character of western Sicily on this holiday which combines walking and sightseeing. There is certainly plenty to intrigue and captivate - Greek and Roman monuments, rugged inland hills, medieval towns, a richly coloured patchwork of fields, Saracen watchtowers and a surprisingly diverse flora and fauna, particularly in the nature reserves along the coast.

The Zingaro Nature Reserve just north of Scopello is a wild stretch of coast where precipitous cliffs swoop down to a series of idyllic white-shingled coves, behind which are mountains that shelter a rich diversity of wildlife, including golden and Bonelli’s eagles.
     
Make use of your hire car and the detailed walking and cultural notes we provide to explore at your own pace. With their endlessly changing views, the wide, quiet roads were seemingly made for leisurely discovery, but the winding paths will prove even more tempting.
