Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro

Reviewed By V8981UNdanm - Tel Aviv, Israel

In this part of Sicily, this Reserve is definitely a place you must see. One of the reason being that Tonnara di Scopello has become a too expensive place for what it offers (just looking at the location of the last the scene of Ocean 12 is not worth 8 euros per person). You can visit this reserve by walking all the way from the Southern Entrance till the Northern one (or the other way around) and this will take you more than 3 hours, depending on your fitness and pace. You can also simply reach the closest beach from the chosen entrance, whether Southern or Northern, which will be much shorter and therefore easier. Especially in Summer when the heat between 10am and 4pm might be too high and even dangerous if you do the walk without a hat, sun screen and especially 2 liters of water at least (good walking shoes are also required of course). I'd recommend strongly, if you're not fit enough, getting from the Southern entrance and walk 20 minutes till Cala Capreria which is literally a hidden gem. Just check the weather before to enjoy the incredible blue shades of the sea, and try to avoid weekends, otherwise it'll be overcrowded. On the other side of the North-West part of Sicily you'll have Erice which is also really worth your time. These 2 attractions should not be missed.

If you love mountain walks, you must visit this nature reserve. The paths that cross Mount Cofàno, bringing you from one side to the other, will give you wonderful views. You can spend hours walking in the peaceful and regenerating silence of nature and you can see the Tonnara Tower, a piece of history. An experience that I did alone, walking for over 4 hours: unforgettable.
