Things to do in Licata, Sicily: The Best Sights & Landmarks
Licata (Greek: Φιντίας; Latin: Phintias or Plintis; formerly also Alicata) is a city and comune located on the south coast of Sicily, at the mouth of the Salso River (the ancient Himera), about midway between Agrigento and Gela. It is a major seaport developed at the turn of the twentieth century, shipping sulphur, the refining of which has made Licata the largest European exporting centre, and asphalt, and at times shipping cheese.

We highly recommend Marina di Cala del Sole for those in search of a safe harbour to berth their boat. It is only four years old - very clean, and well maintained with some nice grassy areas. The marina is well priced for staying over winter. There are good facilities both in the Marina and the town of Licata with two chandleries - one in the marina and one closer to the commercial port. Andrea at the marina chandlery is particularly helpful. A fabulous well stocked supermarket within a sizeable and modern shopping centre is located next door to the marina. Licata itself is a hidden gem with the most fascinating history, friendly locals and wonderful produce. The longer you stay the more you uncover so it's a great place for long term berthing. In addition facilities are provided to encourage a healthy social life with an area for BBQ and finske or bowling which is regular every Sunday as well as a popular cafe/bar for Friday night drinks (or any night). The friendly and always obliging staff at the marina reception (Nino, Maria and Emi) and the onsite managers were on call 24 hours per day to assist our needs in a friendly and prompt manner. They would go out of their way to ensure we were happy. We are considering returning to Marina di Cala del Sole and one of the primary reasons would be the fabulous service provided by Elia Di Prima from Boat Service who acted as caretaker whilst we were away and was able to offer exceptional mechanical and fibreglass repairs as well as coordinating other services. He was even willing to arrange his barber for our three boys! Electrician Giuseppe Vedda was able to repair anything he put his hands to giving us the peace of mind we needed. Both these gentlemen were very professional, well priced and would bend over backwards to help you. We highly recommend Marina di Cala del Sole to sailors considering short or long term berthing.
