San Vito

Lo Capo

Jutting out at the northwest tip of Sicily is the
rugged coastline of San Vito Lo Capo. A pretty,
unspoilt resort renowned for its long stretch of
glorious white sandy beach against a backdrop
of jagged mountains, it has a bustling harbour
filled with fashionable yachts and many good
restaurants and trattorias serving local
specialities, including seafood and couscous.
Much of the small town is pedestrianised and
lined with tempting cafés, bars and shops. Hotel Zingaro
Its origins as an ancient Roman port can still be
seen near the town’s old tuna fishery where fish
was kept in offshore stone fish tanks. At San Vito
Lo Capo there is the entrance to the Zingaro
nature reserve – over 7 kilometres of stunning
clifftop walks through an amazing 700 varieties
of fragrant Mediterranean trees, flowers and
shrubs and many species of migrant and
indigenous birds including eagles and peregrine
falcons. There are also remnants of stone-age
settlements and paths leading down to beach
coves for secluded bathing.
