Another example in Sicily where the tourist is considered a cow to spill the milk for free. 22 euro the cost of the ticket for 2 adults and 1 kid. The cabins are comfortable enough for 10 Min trip but everything look like old. At the ticket office the officer was not really polite. There is a parking lot very closed but it is toll. It is a paradox, at this point we use the car to go to Erice.

Very nice, cheap considering what trip you save by going up directly. Cabins are a bit outdated, I would say clean but used. There is a lot of cabins so waiting time should not be a problem. One way 6.5€ Up plus return ticket 11€

For a modest price of 9 euro/person you will get a return ticket to Erice. Nice shuttles for maximum of 8 person, not air-conditioned, but well-ventilated (was ok inside even though outside it was 38°C). Beautiful view and fast way up, there are also several bus stops nearby. Also, there are free of charge toilets (not very clean).

Enjoyable, with continuous service. Great views but the windows were filthy, which was disappointing.

No ride taken, it was closed due to wind on a not very windy day. We drove up and was glad to find the drive isn't bad at all. Parking was also easy in Erice. No one needs to risk going up and then getting stuck up there. They randomly close these things.

Great way to get up to Erice and wander the town

We stood in line 40 (!!!!!!) minutes just to purchase the tickets while cars were going up half empty. Why? Because for some reason there was a huge bottleneck at the ticket office. One person only, line of at least 300 people and not moving very fast… Just a reminder that its 2023 and it’s time to introduce some quicker ticket purchasing options instead of the lady behind a glass wall struggling for her life…This was a ridiculous experience. Also the drug addict/dealer selling water on the corner doesn’t really scream “Welcome to Erice”.

You have to pay to get in a CHURCH. What the heck ?! Would not recommend and isn't even that beautiful or interesting. Check out other parts of Sicily for a better experience. Outside looks ok.

The Mother Church of Erice (Chiesa Madre or Duomo) is an impressive example of Gothic architecture, built in the 14th century by King Frederick III of Aragon. Its striking façade with the rose window and crenellated bell tower immediately catch the eye, while the interior offers a serene and spiritual atmosphere. Rich in history and artistic details, it perfectly reflects the medieval character of Erice. A visit here is both a cultural and architectural highlight of the town.

We bought the ticket for visiting all the churches in the city so it’s ok, because there is not so many other attractions. It’s ok but nothing special

Amazing gothic ceiling in this church. Nice view from the bells tower. I will say it’s the only two landmarks worth visiting, but for one euro more, you can buy the fulltour for 6 euros and can visit 3 others.

A must visit in a lifetime! Fantastic view from the top.

Really nice place. So many great views and pictures. You need to pay to go inside and to take a tour or go Up the tower! Worth it if you have time!

The tower creates amazing ensemble with the Cathedral nearby, and if you would be lucky enough (like I was) to see it covered with the mist from a cloud shrouding the mountain at which Erice stands - you'll never forget the scenery you witnessed.

Visiting the castle was an absolute joy. I got to spend all day with my all-too-lovely girlfriend enjoying the sites and the picturesque beauty of the Italian countryside. The mandatory kissing sites were hilarious, we probably kissed 12 times within our visit. A must visit for couples and anyone looking for love.

Nice area to visit with amazing views o down towards Trappani and Marsala.

Lovely place near Trapani, definitely need to stop by if you’re in the neighborhood and eat a pastry at maria grammatico

Traveled here from America and saw that this festival was happening and we were able to attend it on the last day. With the language barrier, we figured out that we need to buy €12 day passes, which was good for a couscous bowl, cup of wine and an espresso. The festival was spread out throughout the downtown area, but it would’ve been nice to have a map of where all the booths were. Again, being a foreigner, we didn’t understand the concept of the different type of couscous dishes they were offering. One of the things we noticed at one of the booths is that there was nowhere for people to sit once they received their bowl of couscous, also another thing is when you’re done eating the couscous there were no trash cans around to dispose of. We were lucky to have good weather and music to go along with the day.

Extremely disappointing experience at Cous Cous Fest and in San Vito Lo Capo. I would strongly recommend staying clear of this town. Parking is extremely limited. We parked in an area marked “1 hour free.” Our car was there for only 35 minutes, yet we received a €30 ticket. To make matters worse, we then tried to find another parking spot, went the wrong way, and were fined again—this time €60. The police officers, especially the female officers, were incredibly rude, unhelpful, and even screamed at us in Italian. Instead of explaining, they just yelled in our faces. Absolutely no hospitality. We later learned you are supposed to place a parking “timer” or note on your car to show when you arrived—but how would a visitor possibly know this? The so-called “signs” explaining this were hidden on the next block, completely invisible from where we parked or walked. I’ve attached a photo showing the tiny timer symbol—impossible to notice if you’re not already aware of the system. In just one block, we saw at least six other tourists—Americans, Europeans, etc.—all fined in the same way. Clearly, this is a trap for visitors. We have traveled extensively throughout Europe and spent 37 days in Sicily, and this was by far the most unwelcoming city we encountered. Never in all our travels have we experienced such hostility and lack of fairness. We will never return to San Vito Lo Capo, nor will we recommend it to fellow travelers, especially Americans. I would give this place 0 stars if I could

We drove all the way from Palermo to San Vito Lo Capo for the couscous festival. We arrived about 1 pm and the place was not what I expected, it was very quiet not much happening. We were told that there is only three booths selling couscous. We found a booth selling a variety of couscous and it cost €12 for a plate of couscous, a glass of wine/water and bitters/coffee. The food was nice but not amazing.

Watch out, that is the fish cous cous you may get for 12 Euro

First of all is the parking issues. All parking in the city is for a residents or persons with disabilities , all the rest is occupied. We spent an hour for searching a parking . There was so loud and so many people and the portions are so small for this price. No, no, no

I was in San Vito from the 10th to the 22nd of September. During the Cous cous fest the town becomes a sort of "Rimini", with music on the beach from 3pm onwards, which became very loud techno/disco music from 11pm to 1.30am on Friday and Saturday. The other days the techno/disco music played until half past midnight. This happened with a special permission from the police, as the Comandante explained to me. The food is not really good. For 10 euros you can get much better stuff in any "bar" or "tavola calda". Before and during the Cous cous fest, garbage has remained for days outside the house (Via Meli), even though I took great care in following the detailed instructions provided by the authorities and repeated every evening (in Italian of course) by a car with a loudspeaker. Dogs, cats, and goats could repeatedly enjoy the rests of our meals and we could enjoy the sight of broken garbage bags. The beach was almost every day full of seaweeds and other rests from the sea. It seems that neither the municipality nor the persons who rent the beach umbrellas are responsible for cleaning the beach, which I thought is a regular service in touristic areas (at least I have seen it on the Adriatic coast). Even though the sun, the food and the people were nice, I won't go again to San Vito Lo Capo.

It's ok, but in my opinion it takes some of the authenticity of this beautiful place. Besides, you'll find lots of booths selling stuff that has nothing to do with the region or its past (e.g. Spanish beer or Swiss candy)

Visited 12/08/25 - most crowded beach I've ever seen. You cannot see if it's actually beautiful or not, You just see people and umbrellas. The water has nice colour, so probably in another time of the year my rating would be higher, but during peak season I discourage to go there...

For me the combination of crystal clear water, spectacular turquoise color that difficult to find anywhere else, white sands everywhere, rows of restaurants and cafe, and fully equipped umbrella and sun bed for rent - Really make San Vito lo Capo my favourite beach, and deserve 5 stars rating from me. Well you can enjoy the beach from my pictures and video (objective view without filter) just natural beauty.

The beach might be nice but I think it is hyped too much. The parking spots were overcrowded in august. Any other beach would do the same and be more relaxed. But its not bad.

I visited San Vito Lo Capo at the end of August, and while the water was stunningly clear and beautiful, the crowds were overwhelming. The beach was packed with umbrellas and people everywhere, to the point where it was hard to even see the sand. You do have to walk a bit into the water before it’s deep enough to swim, but that wasn’t really an issue. What really took away from the experience was the noise and the sheer number of people ..I’ve honestly never seen a beach so crowded.

A stunning place where the bright blue sea meets the impressive limestone mountain – absolutely breathtaking! Highly recommended to anyone visiting Sicily.

San Vito Lo Capo Beach is an absolute paradise. The crystal-clear turquoise waters and the fine white sand create a picturesque setting that's perfect for relaxation.

Just outstanding!!! Transparent warm water! Tons of places to seat with umbrella for $20euros a day or bring your own! Also white sand and nice beach to walk!

Nice, but a bit wild beach. If It's windy, there are waves. The entrance is partialy sandy, partialy rocky and more challenging. The downside is the greater distance from the parking lot (free parking), a lot of seaweed and no showers. A free train takes people there twice an hour. It's full during peak times.

Beautiful wild beach, not far from the crowds and noise of San Vito lo Capo. There is a large free parking area, about a 5–10 minute walk to the beach. At the end of September, there were no cafés, so if you visit, bring your own food and drinks. Sunbeds can be rented for €20. There are no showers, toilets, or changing cabins available. This beach is the perfect spot to watch the sunset.

Just perfect beach to catch the sunset. There is a big free parking lot 15 mins away

You need to walk from the car park which is free about 700 meters or there is a small train to take people to the beach and it’s free. The beach is not nice at all ! Full of seaweed .

The scenery here is magical. And there is room to lay down without being too crowded. The water is clear blue and it’s sand everywhere under your feet. It’s baby and child friendly. Many are doing snorkeling 🤿. Why everyone go to San Vito beach Instead of here, is beyond me. This beach 🏖 is by Sicilian standard a 6 stars and San Vito maybe 4, then a 2 when you consider it’s a tourist trap. There are chairs and umbrella to rent if desire or you can simply set your own little space. The parking is free and there is a food truck serving good panini (4 €) and drinks (2.50 - 3.50 €) for a reasonable price. You need to walk to the beach or take a little train that would bring you to it or the nearest beach (Cala Bove) a bit further. If you need help, to get closer you can ask the gate keeper to open the gate for you so you can bring your car closer to disembark, and bring back your car to the parking lot, once done.

Beautiful beach near San Vito. Limited facilities. Parking nearby.

Beautiful beach area with free parking. However I recommend getting there before 9:30am or its impossible to get a good spot on the beach. Water is clear and turquoise and is nice and cool

The room was nice and big, but the best here was definitely the breakfast. Breakfast made our stay here amazing, without that I would not be very happy with our stay here as the negatives overcome the positives. The Wi-fi did not work. There was also no one at the reception to solve the issue.

The room and property are modern and very clean, with all the services you would expect. Breakfast is outstanding, with homemade cakes, pastries, and fruits. The owners are very friendly and helpful. Very convenient location with a few shops and restaurants nearby and San Vito lo Capo a few minutes drive. We really enjoyed our stay, and we highly recommend this family managed B&B.

Very clean and cute bed and breakfast.

Beautiful view from the terrace, nice appartment and the owner is lovely!

Very nice and excellent service

(Translated by Google) From the first moment, we were greeted with disarming kindness: not the formal and distant kind, but the genuine kind that makes you feel immediately at home. It's rare to find a place where the cleanliness is impeccable, the view breathtaking, and the friendliness so overwhelming—and here, incredibly, it all comes together. The property is lovingly cared for, tidy, and bright. But the true treasure of this B&B are the people who run it. We not only laughed and joked with them every day, but we also shared truly special moments. I recommend this B&B wholeheartedly. Because places like this aren't often found... but when you find them, they stay with you. (Original) Fin dal primo momento siamo stati accolti con una gentilezza disarmante: non quella formale e distante, ma quella vera, che ti fa sentire subito a casa. È raro trovare un posto dove la pulizia sia impeccabile, il panorama mozzafiato e la simpatia così travolgente — e qui, incredibilmente, c’è tutto questo insieme. La struttura è curata con amore, ordinata e luminosa. Ma il vero tesoro di questo B&B sono le persone che lo gestiscono. Con loro non solo abbiamo riso e scherzato ogni giorno, ma siamo arrivati a condividere momenti davvero speciali. Consiglio questo B&B con tutta me stessa. Perché posti così non si trovano spesso… ma quando li trovi, ti restano dentro.

(Translated by Google) Spacious and well-kept room, comfortable bathroom, lovely property in a tranquil oasis, just steps from the sea. The owner is very kind, and the breakfast is also good. Unfortunately, in all honesty, I have to point out just one small flaw, which, however, significantly disturbed our sleep: the mosquitoes. We had to wake up in the middle of the night, kill several, and there were still others. I recommend the mosquito nets to the lady; they are absolutely essential. (Original) Stanza ampia e curata, bagno comodo, struttura carina in una oasi di tranquillità, a due passi dal mare. La titolare è molto gentile e buona anche la colazione. Purtroppo per onestà intellettuale devo rilevare un solo piccolo difetto che però ha disturbato notevolmente il nostro sonno: le zanzare. Ci siamo dovuti svegliare nel cuore della notte, ucciderne diverse e altre ce n'erano. Consiglio alla signora le zanzariere, sono assolutamente indispensabili

We had a fantastic hike here, you could either just do the lower coastal work from one end to the other and back which would be about 12ish kilometres in total or there is a path higher up the mountain for a change of scenery on the return route, the accent is about 400m to the higher path. Both offer stunning views. Just remembered your sunscreen and carry lots of water, we only found one spot for water along the way as the other one we found had a broken tap.

Beautiful hiking path with multiple beach access per foot. Come early tonget a close parking space. Entrance fee 5€, Parking 7€/day

Many hiking routes, cheap entrance - 5 eur, better to start early in the morning when there are less crowded.

Beautiful especially April when we went full of flowers

Beautiful, worth the walk. Bring water.

Top!!!

cool views

Visited for dinner after seeing lots of reviews of people eating pizza in the restaurant. When we sat in the restaurant we scanned the menu and saw pizzas was on there as an option but was not giving us examples of ones we could purchase. When I asked to order we asked what options they had for pizza and were told we can only have pizza as a takeaway. We did not understand why pizza was on the menu but we could only take it away as we was not expecting this. He said to wait a minute and he will ask if they could do it for us. In the meantime we just ordered drinks and French fries and waited. Later another person came to us and asked if we just wanted French fries. We explained we would like pizza too but he said he could only serve French fries here. So went went ahead with our order somewhat disappointed we were only having a snack and a drink and not a main meal. Never was it explained to us if we just go out the restaurant round the corner we could sit in the takeaway section there. This was never told to us and instead we sat there disappointed. Not when I came to pay the bill I was charged cover charge for 4 people which was ten euros. For 2 plates of french fries a wine beer and orange juice. Baring in mind 1 person is an 11 month old baby who I have never had to pay a cover charge for and they think it’s acceptable to charge 2.50 euro cover charge for a baby and a three year old. What kind of service do they think they provide to an 11 month old anyway that requires 2.5 euro service charge?? Now when I explained I would not be paying 10 euro service charge for 4 people for a 24 euro bill of French fries and a drink for 3 people this led to an argument with several members of staff. Only when I stood argueing with them for a good ten minutes and making it clear they would not get a single cent of service charge seems as they’ve provided no food to require service did they finally back down. After trying to haggle the cost of the service charge down. Appalling appalling service and trying to charge me 10 euros for providing us with no meal. To make it clear no member of staff in the restaurant said we could go round the corner and happily order what we wanted. Instead they tried to charge us 10 euros service charge to still leave hungry and needing to find other food for our children Avoid avoid Have just seen their response - it shows a poor service when their only response is to name call and threaten. The only people who were trying to scam was them 10 euro service charge for a 24 euro bill and no main meal for anyone. Please read their response and make sure you avoid unless you want to be treated so appallingly too. Their response really shows the staff for who they are

Great place, very clean, and perfectly fine prices for June. Maybe because we were here when the place was mostly empty, but we didn’t feel discriminated against at all, the service was completely fine.

This place IS OPEN and does the best food and drinks on the beach, nice and spacious inside and out

“Zanzibar Castellamare is a great spot – good vibes, nice people, and excellent food. The panini are especially tasty, drinks are well-priced, and the staff are really friendly. Highly recommend!”

Very very good beach club ! Great service and hospitality by all the staff. We will come back ! 🙏

Visited 3 times in July, wonderful experience every time. The price for two quality sunbeds and an umbrella for the whole day is 20 EUR. Drinks and pizzas are very reasonably priced as well. Pizzas are top-notch even by restaurant level, not even talking beach clubs. Many staff members make the place feel safe, and I didn’t worry about leaving my belongings at the sunbeds while swimming. One small wish - showers could be free of charge, as e.g. in Mondello.

Clean territory, very well equipped, friendly and helpful staff, nice bar area, very reasonable prices. First visited yesterday, returned today and will come back again tomorrow.

The place is beautiful and evocative. However, this beauty is marred by poor management. I am Italian and I know these things. We find rubbish that corrupts the cultural level of the place. I would also like to point out that for years the cost of admission has been rising by €2 every year. Although a tourist can afford this expense, a Sicilian cannot spend this money. If local people cannot enjoy the beauty of their land, they will not be able to respect it either. And they will continue to treat Sicily like a huge trash can. Let's respect Sicily and make culture accessible to everyone, not just those with a lot of money. Please write other reviews like mine so that the managers understand how they should behave.

Incredible ruins on a hillside. You've seen the pictures but in real life they are even better. As for which entrance to begin at? I went to the eastern entrance and walked tonthe west and back and honestly didn't notice much of a difference in terms of uphill or diwnhill and I am not a spring chicken. However, the most spectacular pasts are at the estern end.

The great temple and mountain valley will take your travel to ancient times and it stops. Magnificent views of the beautiful valley and admirable temple, are simply stunning and picturesque… We visited in mid-October, so there is no waiting for tickets and was on tees n shorts! The trek to Temple and Theater are on different directions. Give yourself atleast couple of hours 😊

The archaeological park featuring the Doric Temple and the Theatre of Segesta is an absolutely essential stop in Western Sicily. Even having visited many ancient sites in Greece and Turkey, the Temple of Segesta stands out as one of the most impressively maintained and stunningly located historical structures we’ve ever seen. The temple's location, perched high on a hill overlooking the magnificent Sicilian landscape, is deeply dramatic. It is remarkably well-preserved for a 5th-century BC structure, showcasing the purity of the Doric style with its 36 intact columns. This incredible state of maintenance elevates the entire experience. What truly impressed us was the management and care taken by the entire park staff. The grounds are spotlessly clean and extremely well-organized—a welcome rarity at major historical sites. While we were there, staff were actively planting new trees and flowers, showing a clear, ongoing commitment to enhancing the beauty of the park. The ticket for the Temple and the Theatre costs €18.50 and conveniently includes the shuttle service up to the remote theatre site. We also noted a significant detail for families: our 14-year-old daughter did not require a ticket, indicating favorable policies for minors. Access to the Theatre: To reach the ancient Theatre, located even higher up the hill, a convenient shuttle service departs regularly from behind the main shop area, making the entire journey seamless and accessible. Park Maintenance: The entire area, from the parking lots to the paths, felt clean and thoughtful. The Temple of Segesta is not just a breathtaking historical monument; it is a prime example of how an ancient site should be managed and presented to visitors. Highly recommended for its beauty and organizational excellence.

Okayyy, so the temple - absolutely majestic, fully in tact, 5 minute walk from the entrance. But the theatre is a 30 minute walk uphill, you can pay a couple extra euros to get there on bus, but yk stairmaster, pump that butt.

Beautiful site! We walked to the second site, it was about 25min going up so not the easiest walk in the sun. If you want, there is a shuttle every 30 minutes as well.

Free on a Sunday, aside from the bus cost up to the amphitheatre if you want it. The main temple is excellent. Beautiful drive in, no problems at all. Recommended.

The walk is totally worth the view down from the 3rd century BCE greek theater. Get yourself an audio guide. There is so much more interesting information to know than just reading the information boards.

Nice temple. Price to enter is 12e for adults. There is a bus ride for 2.5e (not included in price) to take you up to the Roman remains. (These are up a steep hill) - walking up is also possible

Well-preserved remains of an ancient Greek theater with stunning valley views. Definitely worth a visit. You can walk from the parking lot like we did (it's a 1.25 km uphill walk that takes about 20 minutes). Alternatively, you can take the shuttle bus (we only discovered this halfway up the hill). Beautiful views of the valley, recommended for a late afternoon visit when there are fewer crowds and the setting sun casts a magical glow.

Beautiful ruins that show a glimpse of the past, but also how much has faded in time. The renderings that depict how large the settlement was leave you wondering how time could have faded away so much of it, but glad to still see some remnants of the past like the magnificent temple, or the open air theatre with a fantastic view of the surrounding countryside.

The theatre is impressive and the views from there are beautiful as well. The trip up was too much for me, so I was happy to add the bus to my ticket and simply walk back down. The temple at the bottom, although large, is actually more impressive from above, looking down through the open roof.

This is certainly one of the most well preserved and renovated open theater in Europe. You need to park in the free public parking and walk about 250 meters to the ticket boot. You can bring your car closer and let anyone get off and return park if needed. The tickets are 8 € each, plus 2 € for the bus ride. The bus would bring you to the open theater. It’s at 1 km away, you can walk but at noon under 40C, I suggest you take the bus. For it you will need a mask 😷. It runs every 30 minutes. To reach the temple you need to climb some stairs, about 250 meters away. The theater is nice, but the view around is really what is worth your time.

Very nice temples and theatre in an amazing location. Only bad thing is the expensive additional charge for shuttle bus. We went during the day in early september so it’s very hot. You can opt to walk (some steep uphill) when the weather is cooler. We didn’t have to queue for tickets, wait time for the shuttle was 6-10 minutes

Beautiful little theater built in the middle 1800s from wooden beams from old ships.

Impressive piece of art Built with the wood of old boats Needs some renovation

Must see place in Mazara del Vallo! Walking tour is free

Antonio, a guide, knows everything about Mazara. The teatro was great to see and get a sense of the history of Mazara.

Very like

(Translated by Google) A small theater, but one with a rich history. If you're in Mazara, I recommend visiting. Admission is free, and the theater staff were very helpful and kind in providing us with information. (Original) Piccolo teatro ma che al suo interno ha una grande storia. Se siete a Mazara vi consiglio di andarlo a visitare. L'ingresso è gratuito e il personale addetto al teatro è stato molto disponibile e gentile a darci qualche informazione.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful ancient theater in Mazara del Vallo! We were very happy because when we entered there was a very kind lady, a volunteer, and she told us the history of this theater. (Original) Bellissimo teatro antico a Mazara del Vallo! siamo stati molto felici perché quando siamo entrati c'era una sig molto gentile, volontaria e ci ha raccontato la storia di questo teatro

Outstanding experience & there is a great video as well showing & explaining all the background stories. 👍

Couldn't see the video due to too many people from a tour group and no seats, but I heard it is good. Lovely statue. Small museum with some other archeological items

Interesting museum but just to see the statue of the satyr and how it was found.

Quite extraordinary. Watch the video in the cinema when you go.

Thought there was more to see, for a €8 enterance fee. All there was one piece of satire with 5 pots, rest were photographs. Wouldn't recommend.

The backstory behind the dancing story, how he was found and how they fixed him and put him together, is very interesting. If you are visiting, I would recommend to watch the short film in the museum, so you can get a full picture.

Five Stars only for the “Dancing Satyr”. It’s the only thing you are going to see…

Really beautiful beach outside of Palermo, easy to reach via public transit grabbing the 806 bus. Plenty of spaces to sit around the beach, both free and for purchase. The water was beautiful and the landscape around the city surrounded by mountains is sublime.

The beach itself is very beautiful with warm and transparent water. But the problem is infrastructure, only one public toilet, a lot of dirty, not enough garbage bins. Not enough small groceries. But anyway, maybe this is generic problem for touristic places in Italy, or Sicily. In total, amazing place to visit and swim for a few day, as for long term vacation is not adopted yet.

We visited in mid to late September, and it was still quite busy. Sandy beach and clear water. 🏖️ It was easy to find space, even in the free public areas, though towards the eastern end of the beach (near the rocky side) there was a faint smell of sewage in the air. Loads of noise due to some people playing loud music on speakers and noisy vendors along the beach. It’s a good option for a quick beach trip not far from Palermo city, but overall we preferred Cefalù Beach, which was cleaner and quieter.

A really nice beach to relax and enjoy. You can take a 10mins bus ride from the city and a few minutes walk to get there We visit there in May the weather is nice, sun light and not too hot. It’s a really good time to visit.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Palermo, it is accessible by car and even by bus. You have the private side with excellent rates, a place and shower available and even toilets. The first line is free for anyone who has their own parasol. I also recommend it especially if you are for a long stay. You also have outdoor showers and toilets. There are local restaurants and a very cute little port. I wish you an excellent stay and don't forget to return early in the day if you use the bus and to observe the times of the last bus. 🌹

A very beautiful beach and sea! It’s lovely for swimming, the water stays shallow for quite a distance, reaching only up to your hips even several meters in (for a smaller-sized person). Both the beach and the sea are clean and very pleasant. The only downside is that the beach is packed with sunbeds, leaving little space for people who don’t want to pay for one and just want to lay down a towel. Other than that, it’s easily reachable by bus from Palermo, no need for a private taxi. The bus works just fine and is very convenient. Highly recommended!

What can I say about this place. I will return one day. This was the best beach I’ve ever seen. The water was so clear I could see my feet. Wish I was able to spend a few days here.

Cool place with history. Take sun umbrella and lot of water if you want to go and walk around. I enjoyed walking all way up.

The remote location and empty feeling you find walking through the cracks is something special that is hard to describe. You can also visit the other ghost town nearby and hike through the ruins of an old church. Bring water as the heat is intense during summer.

it is an amazing piece of land-art, not just from from a bird’s view, but also walking on the “streets”. The streets are very steep, so if you don’t want to exhaust yourself, then I advise you to approach from north - then you can mesmerize in the view and don’t have to climb a lot. it is not a landmark where you have to pay / wait / whatever. It’s a big piece of concrete block that is free to enter, wander around.

So good place - place as art and place with plenty of history. Respect. Car park available. Don’t miss the town - Poggiorealle - few km away. Town who was destroyed by earthquake. Both worth to visit. Keep safe - as some part of the roads are damaged - hardly to pass with normal car. Perfect for 4x4

Great place to visit to see the art installation to the memory of the lost town. Free to look around.

The thing is huge scale, totally worth the detour!

Map of Gibilini art installation created in cement of the old town in Sicily. It's worth seeing and walking along the streets. I would go in the early morning or early evening to avoid the heat of the midday sun is visiting during the summer months. It's not very exciting but interesting. Kind of reminds me of the holocaust memorial installation in Berlin Germany.

One of the Most Beautiful Churches I’ve Ever Visited Absolutely stunning! Be sure to get the full ticket – the view from the rooftop is breathtaking. It’s best to visit right when it opens, as it can get quite crowded later with large tour groups arriving by bus.

The Duomo di Monreale is one of the most extraordinary cathedrals I have ever visited — a true masterpiece of Norman architecture in Sicily. Located on a hill overlooking Palermo, the cathedral impresses from the moment you arrive with its majestic exterior and breathtaking panoramic views of the valley below. The interior is simply unforgettable. Every inch of the walls and ceilings is covered in magnificent golden mosaics, telling biblical stories with incredible artistry and precision. The image of Christ Pantocrator in the apse radiates a spiritual power that leaves a lasting impression. The combination of Norman, Byzantine, and Arab influences creates a unique and harmonious atmosphere that reflects Sicily’s rich cultural history. Don’t miss the cloister, a peaceful courtyard surrounded by elegant arches and beautifully carved columns — each one different, a true work of art. It’s a perfect place to take a quiet moment and admire the craftsmanship. Visiting Duomo di Monreale feels like stepping into another time. It’s not just a church; it’s a treasure of world heritage and one of the most remarkable places in Italy.

Monreale’s Duomo is an architectural masterpiece, yet what truly makes the experience unforgettable is the atmosphere. Unlike the more heavily trafficked Palermo Cathedral, the Monreale Cathedral feels like its quiet, intensely spiritual twin. It’s significantly less crowded, allowing for a far more contemplative and local experience, where you often see more residents than tourists. If the Palermo Cathedral is a grand fortress, Monreale’s Duomo is a perfectly preserved jewel box. Its Arab-Norman architecture beautifully showcases the incredible fusion of cultures that defined 12th-century Sicily, a signature style shared with its counterpart in Palermo. The defining feature of the interior is, of course, the breathtaking, unified cycle of Byzantine gold mosaics. They shimmer with an ethereal light and tell Biblical stories across thousands of square meters, dominated by the majestic, compassionate figure of the Christ Pantocrator in the apse. Being able to view these mosaics without the crush of large tour groups is a privilege that truly enhances their impact. The experience here feels much more authentic and tied to the local community. The square outside, the adjacent cloisters with their intricate columns (another must-see), and the church itself feel like an active place of worship and local pride, rather than just a historic site. This sense of peace and intimacy makes Monreale an essential stop, providing a deeper connection to Sicily’s magnificent Norman heritage than you might find in the bustling city center. It’s a powerful experience for those looking for grandeur on a more human scale.

An absolutely extraordinary cathedral and one of the most impressive churches I have ever visited. The Cathedral of Monreale is breathtaking from the moment you enter—every surface shines with golden mosaics, creating a unique and unforgettable atmosphere. The mix of light, color, and detail is simply spectacular. The interior feels like a fusion of cultures, where Norman, Byzantine, and Arab influences come together in perfect harmony. A bit of history & curiosities: • The cathedral was built in the 12th century by William II of Sicily, who wanted to create a monument that would rival the greatest churches of the Mediterranean. • It is famous for its 6,400 square meters of Byzantine mosaics, among the largest and most complete collections in the world. • At the center of the apse, the enormous Christ Pantocrator is one of the most iconic images in Christian art. • The architecture reflects Sicily’s multicultural history: Norman structure, Byzantine mosaics, and Arab decorative patterns all coexist in the same space. • The cathedral is part of the UNESCO World Heritage ensemble of Arab-Norman monuments in Palermo and Monreale.

Stunningly beautiful Norman cathedral in Monreale, the birthplace of my wife’s grandmother and locale where her grandparents lived before emigrating to Rochester, NY in 1902. Wish we could have spent more time in Monreale, but we enjoyed seeing this wonderful cathedral. Definitely do the tower walk, worth the money.

Absolutely a must to visit ,truly beautiful and a joy to walk around even if your not religious. Light airy resembles the ceilings of the Sistine chapel . Uplifting experience and real bird of paradise plants in the square.

This was an incredible place to visit. The outside of the building holds a beautiful exterior that is quite moving. We were blown away by it. It was also great to climb up onto the roof. Just note that if you are scared of heights or claustrophobic and/or not used to walking up and down steps you could struggle here. The parking was a bit of an experience but the total experience was worth it. We purchased tickets when we got there and there was no queue. Very recommended.

better preserved than the one in Paris. No need to que for long. Can take credit card for ticket payment. The actual entrance is near the shop, not the gate, dont miss.

So incredible! If for no other reason go too see the old clothes worn by the deceased. About a 30-40 minute tour through it. Little Rosalia was difficult to see. You had to stand behind a barrier and could not easily look in to see her sweet face. You cannot take photos. Getting there was a pain. We took an expensive taxi to and from central Palermo to get there. (Worth it) Afterwords, tour the adjacent Cappuccini Cemetery above it. A wonder of art and beauty. My husband was in awe of the number of flowers relations leave for family members.

Incredible sight, incredible preservation of history. Macabre, humbling, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I wish they had more signs perhaps with some context for the people interred there, but it was still interesting.

The Cappuchin Crypt / Catacombs is the right place to come for something totally spooky and unique! I loved my visit contemplating death and seeing the outfits over the skeletons of people dead for hundreds of years. Amazing!

The place is both moving and unsettling — corridors lined with mummies and skeletons dressed in centuries-old clothing, from children to clergymen and members of the upper class. That said, the site feels a bit neglected — dust, wear on the displays, and a lack of clear explanations in foreign languages make it harder to fully grasp the historical value. If you’re looking for something truly unusual, it’s a must-see — but for the sensitive eye and heart, it can also be quite disturbing.

I highly recommend! Very unique with lots of cool history!! There are not many plaques explaining the history so I recommend doing some reading up on it beforehand so you have greater insight when in there. We didn't buy tickets in advance and showed up when it opened again in the afternoon. There was a long line when we got there. We bought tickets and went in about 20-30 min afterwards. So, show up early! But they move through people pretty quickly. No photos or videos are allowed. Don't be a douche in there. It's a solemn and macabe experience.

Interesting experience. There was quite a queue but once the catacombs re-opened after lunch, it moved quickly. It took me 20 minutes or so to walk through. The best-preserved bidy of the little girl was barely visible as it was very dark.

We were incredibly lucky to have Teatro Massimo di Palermo literally on our doorstep. The architecture is stunning and absolutely photo-worthy. It’s also famous from The Godfather Part III, where the assassination of Apollonia was filmed. We loved passing by day and night, always catching a new angle. Overall, it’s a must-see and an easy stop while exploring Palermo. Saluti

The Teatro Massimo is absolutely stunning — both inside and out. The architecture is breathtaking, from the grand marble staircase to the ornate auditorium. Attending a performance here is an unforgettable experience, and even just the guided tour gives a real sense of Palermo’s cultural richness. The acoustics are excellent, and the staff are friendly and informative. A must-visit for anyone interested in opera

We headed out early from Syracuse to do this hike. 1.2 km down the ravine to this little oasis. Getting there was an easy drive until we got a km away. Then you are on a very rocky, narrow road- praying that no one is coming the other way. Several larger vehicles parked at the start of the narrow road - i assume the passengers walked in. There are clean washrooms available for use at the top of the hill. We were given an estimate of 40 minutes down and an hour back. I’m not in the best of shape so was worried about the trip back up. Although I had already been doing a lot of steps and stairs for the past 13 days. We made it both ways in less than the estimated time told to us. The route was a mix of rock steps, loose rock and a few flatter spots- just to keep you going. lol It’s nice to be able to sit and have some lunch dangling your feet in the cool water. The temperature heated up as we descended. We were glad that the temp outside was around 24. I think if it was warmer it would slow the hike back up the hill as there isn’t a lot of shade to rest in. A beautiful hike and we certainly recommend it.

Magnificent! The atmosphere is really about the classic theatre inside of the performance part and architecture. Surrounding floors and buffet I would say need a deep renovation. It doesn't match the overall expectations. Performance, the orchestra are magnificent 😄

As fans of The Godfather trilogy, visiting the Teatro Massimo Vittorio Emanuele was the first thing on our Palermo itinerary—it's iconic! The theater is famous worldwide as the dramatic setting for the final, tragic scene of The Godfather Part III, making it an essential pilgrimage site for film lovers. Even though we couldn't secure tickets for the interior tour this time, the building's exterior is magnificent and absolutely worth the visit. It stands as the largest opera house in Italy and the third largest in Europe, a massive, imposing structure that dominates Piazza Giuseppe Verdi. Its Neoclassical design, with a majestic hexastyle Corinthian portico and the impressive bronze lions flanking the entrance steps, speaks to the incredible wealth and culture of Palermo at the turn of the 20th century. Taking a moment to simply stand on the steps and admire the architecture, imagining the grand events that have unfolded there (both real and cinematic), is a pleasure in itself. Whether you are here for the opera, the history, or for the indelible connection to the Corleone family's final moments, the Teatro Massimo is a truly beautiful and essential stop in Palermo.

Astonishing place. Truly beautiful inside and out. Terrific accoustics. Great atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Compared to rivals, extremely reasonable ticket prices. If possible don't take a tour, see a performance. Would you pay to see nice food in a restaurant? It comes alive with music.

The exterior is definitely worth to come and see, specially if you are a fan of the godfather movies. The interior is equally impressive. The guided tour is not expensive and even if it is short, it is worth it. I would recommend as second to the palazzo for the must visit in Palermo.

While this wonderful and expansive archaeological park may not be as popular as the Valley of Temples in Agrigento, I enjoyed it more. It's truly a magnificent and no less significant site than Agrigento. I took nearly 500 photos on my visit and I still didn't get to all of the major sights here. Due perhaps to its far Southwest location here, it's a lot less busy than other archaeological sites in the Southeast.

The largest UNESco archaeological world Heritage site in Europe set over a beautifully kept area leading onto the coast. This iconic UNESCO site features eight temples constructed between 510 BC and 430 BC. The Temple of Concordia is amazing-remarkably intact after 2,500 years and wonderful to walk around. I visited one afternoon in October 2025. Not many people around - it felt like we had the temple to ourselves! I purchased a ticket for the site and a bus that covered half the site. If I were to come again I would plan a whole day trip. It cost €25 for entry and ride for half the site, but I thought it was worth it.

Such an impressive place! The Archaeological Park of Selinunte is huge and absolutely fascinating. When we visited, there were only a few people around, so it felt peaceful and almost magical. You can walk (and even climb a bit) around the ancient ruins, which makes it even more special. For those who don’t want to walk too far, there’s a shuttle service super convenient. Definitely worth a visit! 🏛️☀️🇮🇹

Absolutely magnificent ancient Greek site! Selinunte is an incredible journey back in time. The sheer scale of the ruins and the fascinating architectural variety of the temples are truly awe-inspiring. From the colossal Temple G to the more delicately preserved structures, each site offers a unique glimpse into the sophisticated building techniques of the ancient Greeks. You can easily spend hours marveling at the columns, foundations, and reconstructed elements. For those planning to explore on foot, be prepared for a substantial trek – the full round trip can be around 10 km. I highly recommend bringing sun protection (hat, sunscreen, sunglasses), especially during warmer months, as there's limited shade. However, a fantastic alternative is to utilize the golf cart service that ferries visitors between the various sites. While it costs a bit more, it's a very comfortable and efficient way to see everything, especially if you have mobility concerns or are short on time. A welcome bonus is the presence of small cafes at each major site. They offer a great opportunity to recharge with refreshing beverages and surprisingly tasty paninis. It's the perfect way to break up your exploration and enjoy a snack amidst the ancient splendor. Don't miss Selinunte – it's a truly unforgettable experience!

Day trip from Marsala. Nice park to visit. Almost no visitors. Some areas are still covert by vegetation. Because of this you don’t see the ruins very well. Keep in mind if you want to walk and see all the sights it will be a 10km walk. Take some water and snacks if you plan to walk everything.

Huge and interesting place, big bonus is that you can walk inside the temple to admire the size of it even better. Note for people with reduced mobility...bring your foldable chair with you, very few benches available.

Stunning. We lucked out being there on the first Sunday of the month so it was free. We paid for an audio guide -well worth it to get a bit of insight. We walked it all with no difficulty, although it was a bit hot by the end (despite being November!)

I visited this magnificent cathedral in May, and it was truly one of the highlights of my trip to Palermo. The moment you approach the building, you’re struck by its grand façade and unique mix of architectural styles — Norman, Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical — all beautifully layered through centuries of history. It’s a place where art, faith, and culture come together in a breathtaking way. Inside, the cathedral is just as impressive. The soaring arches, intricate details, and serene atmosphere create a powerful sense of history. It’s fascinating to walk through and imagine all the generations that have passed here. The royal tombs are especially interesting, offering a glimpse into the city’s rich past. Don’t miss going up to the rooftop — the panoramic view over Palermo and the surrounding mountains is unforgettable. The combination of history, architecture, and scenery makes this place truly special. ✨ I was genuinely happy to visit this incredible site. It’s not just a monument, but a living piece of Palermo’s soul. Absolutely worth a visit!

Set in a beautiful square alongside its museum. The cathedral had a very modern feel. We did get in without waiting in line however, the building was very busy with tour groups. I would recommend heading to crypt which really is fascinating. For those who wish you can also access the upstairs via a dtstcase hidden behind a panel in the main building. For individual travellers tickets can be bought from their ticket office @ 18 Euros. The office also has toilets available at 1 Euro per person.

We came out of a narrow street to the north east and were greeted by this massive building and nice open space. The stonework is so well preserved for 900 years old and the inside is kept spotless clean. We didn't have time to tour the museum and rooftop walk but I believe 18euro allows access to both. There is a bronze line on the floor with pictures of several constellations that shows the passing of the sun through the window on certain days. Very interesting to find that in a church. There are a few large statues outside in the spacious piazza that are also worth a close look if you have time

Visited the Palermo Cathedral while in town and wow — it’s absolutely beautiful. The architecture and deep history are truly stunning, and its UNESCO status feels well-deserved. We wandered for a while and found plenty of great photo spots. Entry is paid, but worth it. Definitely a must-see when in Palermo. Saluti!

The Palermo Cathedral is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful and architecturally complex buildings in all of Italy. It was the most important and beloved sight of our visit to Palermo, and it’s a place where you can easily spend an entire day exploring its incredible history and diverse grandeur. What makes this Cathedral so mesmerizing is its astonishing Arab-Norman architecture, a result of centuries of conquest and cultural fusion. Unlike a typical Italian Duomo, it features elements of Byzantine, Islamic, Gothic, and Renaissance design, visible in its massive scale, its delicate stonework, and the imposing battlements that crown the structure. From the exterior arches decorated with Arabic inscriptions to the imposing bell tower, the building tells the entire history of Sicily in stone. You can certainly spend hours simply admiring the exterior, but the interior offers equal wonder. Inside, be sure to explore the various facets of the complex: The Crypt: A quiet, ancient space holding the tombs of archbishops. The Royal Tombs: Containing the sarcophagi of Norman kings and Holy Roman Emperors, including Roger II and Frederick II. The Roofs: If possible, take the climb up to the roof for an unparalleled panoramic view of the entire city of Palermo, which truly puts the scale of the building into perspective. The Cathedral is a profoundly beautiful and essential stop that defines the grandeur and complexity of the city's identity.

The beautiful Palermo Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site dating back to the 12th century. The cathedral has undergone many transformations over time which has contributed to its unique blend of architectural styles (Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassical). The cathedral houses the relics of Santa Rosalia, the Patron Saint of Palermo, as well as the tombs of six kings and queens. The cathedral also houses the tomb of Father Pino Pugliese, a local priest from Brancaccio who challenged the mafia and was subsequently killed by them in 1993. He was beatified by the church in 2013.

Palermo Cathedral is absolutely stunning! Just looking at the pictures and the details inside, you can really feel the faith and history. It’s one of those places that makes you stop and just take it all in.

Very limited things you can see. Most of the places are not allowed for entry (unless you have a special exhibition ticket). Be aware: The most famous Jesus mosaic is currently under construction! There is a nice little garden you can go and rest.

Its big but beautiful. You can see the combination of the three ruling ethnicities on Sicily in the palace. I advise to buy tickets online, then you have no wait. The queue for the ticket office spans the whole east to west of Sicily

It was worth the price (around 20€ per person). You also have a temporary exhibition (photos gallery) from an artist. You can spend almost two hours inside.

Most of the Chapel and Palace N/A for viewing (either in scaffolds, or just NO WAY for the visitors). Chapel is in need for restoration , no doubt, long due. Online ticket asked to arrive 15 min earlier for security check, however the staff didn't want you earlier . Staff didn't care about the money, that visitors paid, behaved angry and rudely towards strangers (bold man on the photos), but spending time kissing each other and having fun.

The Palatine Chapel blends Byzantine, Norman, and Arab art like no other. The golden mosaics are stunning, and the wooden muqarnas ceiling is breathtaking. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015, a powerful symbol of Sicily’s multicultural past.

Worth seeing! Same beautiful mosaiscs as in the Monreal cathedral but mixed with baroque art. Fun fact - all the marzipan fruits you see in Palermo - it all began here!

The Cappella Palatina is a breathtaking 12th-century chapel built by King Roger II inside the Norman Palace. Its golden Byzantine mosaics, the famous scene of Roger crowned by Christ, the Arabic wooden ceiling, and Norman architecture create a stunning fusion of cultures. A true masterpiece and an absolute must-see in Palermo.

I would consider this a must watch when being in Palermo! Probably second right after the Palatine Chapel in the royal castle. Stunning interior with mosaics and lots of details! Entry ticket costs 2€ per person and can be bought inside the church!

To me the most beautiful church in Palermo. I very much loved the insides with the mixture of Greek, Arabic and Christian style.

Beautiful church but also very small. Not sure it’s worth the 2.50€ entrance fee.

Completely stunning church. The mosaics are absolutely beautiful and worth coming in to see. Entry price is 2€. If you are looking for the church with the cannoli, it is not this one-- that's the church across the square (Santa Caterina)

Eccentric blend of Norman and Baroque. Must see! Keep your ticket for discounts to other churches

amazing church... only 2 eur

Splendid church, the paintings and the frescos on the ceiling are really splendid, to pass by Palermo and not to visit it would be a mistake, the prices are reasonable 1€ for the students and 2€ for the adults, I recommend you to visit this splendid place.

Best place for mountain biking and trekking..

The Royal Palace and Bosco Ficuzza (Ficuzza Forest) is an extremely beautiful place, where art and nature integrates perfectly. The area was born as a hunting reserve for Ferdinand III of Bourbon, in the nineteenth century and presents a great variety of environments. The palace itself stands in front of central park of the small village part of Corleone Municipality and is dominated by the impressive, 3 km long, Rocca Busambra wall. As I like climbing, I had the chance to see the palace both from the ground and the top of Busambra (1613m). I also had the chance to witness a genuine Corleonese matrimonio (wedding), in front of the impressive building. I might be biased, but is one of the most romantic places I've seen!

Very interesting tour, guide spoke excellent language. Apparently it's free, but felt like it was worth money. Can be a bit boring for the kids, but all in all well worth a visit!

Amazing place, but should be visit in cold weather

Beautiful palace but empty rooms in the second floor. The visit in cheap and the architecture is stunning!

Stunning Royal hunting Palace surrounded by a beautiful forest and landscape. Definitely worth to visit

Good guides, very interesting and fascinating location! It's worth the détour, absolutly !!

It was our biggest highligt during the Sicily holiday. This is way more than just a soap museum! During the "botanical adventure in the middle of the olives" Alessandro gave us insights into the wonderful project on sustainable permaculture. The olives grove is so beautiful, and we learned a lot about other mediterrean plant species. We had a chance to taste the extra virgin oil and some olives as well as the pomgranades. Also their new product - artisian gin with pomegrande and 4 other botanicals is just amazing - we bought 1 bottle and are looking forward to enjoy it at home! We can highly recommend it, it's a suitable experience for families with children, our 2yo fell in love with the juicy pomegranades. The booking was straight forward, Alessandro responded very quickly to my email and all the communication was in flawless English. Payment possible by card or in cash after the tour.

Really cool tour told us a lot about the history of soap and the history of the equipment he’s restoring!

A really well informed tour! Host was bubbly and friendly. Its a great experience to learn about Mediterranean culture and history and how something as mundane as soap has changed over the centuries! The museo is equipped with a quaint collection of artifacts that serve as stepping stones into the past.

Very great experience! We took part in the two-hour tour in a group of only two. He told us a lot about olives, oil and soaps with passion. Together we also made our own soap. With a short walk outside, Alessandro showed us a piece of his land where his olives grow. He also showed us how to taste olive oil. The tour ended with a few glasses of wine on top of the house with a stunning view over the surrounding landscape. Grazie per l'esperienza (in tutte le tue lingue), ci siamo sentiti molto bene.

A fascinating guide to soap! Our host would like people to call and book tours.

We truly had a great time and experience learning about the soap making and olive oil. Alessandro, the owner of the property who speaks great English was very informative and full of enthusiasm. He loves what he does and it really shows. We had a great learning experience. This is truly a must see when in Sciacca. It was honestly the highlight of our trip.

Very nice, small museum with very energetic and enthusiastic guide: Alessandro. I can fully recommend this museum. You will know things you never knew about history of soap and people. Don't hesitate - you will not regret.

Good place to start your mountaineering adventures.

(Translated by Google) Majestic and imposing!....it dominates the golden basin...from its top (where it is kept in a shrine "in Marunnuzza" you can enjoy the view of the Madonie mountains and even of Etna (Original) Maestoso ed imponente!....domina la conca d’oro...dalla sua cima( dove è custodita in una teca “a Marunnuzza” di può godere della vista delle Madonie e persino dell’Etna

(Translated by Google) I would say a magical place for the beauty and grandeur of the Rocca massif. Reaching the top is not easy because there is no path, so you have to proceed by sight and since there are no trees or tall bushes the undertaking is feasible but only by experienced and trained people. The complete tour is the most attractive solution, starting from Alpe Cucco and returning from the Rocca Ramosa valley. I personally have done it twice and have always been satisfied. (Original) Luogo direi magico per la bellezza e per la grandiosità del massiccio della Rocca. Il raggiungimento della cima non è semplice perché non esiste un sentiero, quindi bisogna procedere a vista e siccome non sono presenti alberi o cespugli alti l'impresa è fattibile ma solo da gente esperta e allenata. Il tour completo è la soluzione più allettante, partenza da Alpe Cucco e ritorno dalla valle di Rocca Ramosa. Io personalmente l'ho fatto due volte e sono sempre rimasto soddisfatto.

(Translated by Google) Going up from the west side, from the path indicated as San Giorgio, it appears as a stony expanse, with thorns and small shrubs that make the route difficult. Very beautiful panorama. (Original) Salendo dal lato Ovest, dal sentiero indicato come San Giorgio, si presenta come una distesa sassosa, con spini e piccoli arbusti che rendono difficoltoso il percorso. Panorama molto bello.

(Translated by Google) Carbonate massif which rises up to 1613m above sea level, the highest peak in the Sicani Mountains chain, as well as in all of Western Sicily. Summit without paths, not suitable for beginners, especially on days of uncertain weather, almost all of Sicily is visible from the summit, the southern side overlooking the Corleone side is very beautiful. The North is a continuous precipice that overlooks Ficuzza, with interesting caves and unique biodiversity thanks to the climate and exposure. Recommended destination accompanied by a guide who knows the area well and who will enrich your steps with anecdotes and relevant data... Better if a LOCAL guide, always ask those who LIVE THERE to tell you things. (Original) Massiccio Carbonatico che si eleva fino a 1613m slm, la vetta più alta della catena dei Monti Sicani, nonché di tutta la Sicilia Occidentale. Sommità priva di sentieri, non adatta a principianti, sopratutto nelle giornate di Tempo incerto, dalla vetta è visibile quasi tutta la Sicilia, molto bello il versante sud che guarda lato Corleone. Il Nord è un continuo strapiombo che sovrasta Ficuzza, interessanti le grotte e la biodiversità unica grazie al clima ed all'esposizione. Meta consigliata accompagnati da una guida che conosce bene il territorio e che arricchirà i vostri passi con aneddoti e dati di rilievo... Meglio se una guida LOCALE, fatevi raccontare sempre le cose da chi CI VIVE.

Very interesting exhibition. It is located a little bit off the beaten track, but it's worth it!

A great collection and a wonderful helpful enthusiastic owner. Definitely worth a visit!

Great museum - the last two rooms were such a “walk down memory lane”. My daughter found it fascinating to watch her Mum and Dad remember and laugh about the many toys they played with as a child of her age! The owner was very attentive, helpful and knowledgeable about the toys and history. A very lovely experience.

This is a place which is going to become big and important. Now, it's still at its early childhood, the design is a bit old-fashioned and the rooms are a bit dark and spooky, but the whole thing has a great potential: it shows the history of toys starting from the 1880's till 1980's. For little kids it was a bit boring, but for us, big kids in their 40's, it was great to see our toys again. I really loved the shop-owner, who charmed us away with some really nice stories and whose passion was contagious. I suggest that they order some of the toys from the last room, so people can buy one and take a piece of this magic world home. Nice people, great initiative.

For a rainy day a way to spend a great moment with children . Rich in toys declined in 6 periods . Nice family time .... And for parents a come back in his childhood.

Excellent. The owner showed us around and was really knowledgable and passionate about the museum. Great thing to do with the kids before heading out for dinner. 30 minutes well spent.

We enjoyed a large collection of toys with great accompanying stories by Alessandro. Entertaining for adults and good fun for children!
