Castellammare del Golfo is a beautiful location overlooking the gulf of the same name, worth visiting for its historical and gastronomic richness.

We find in Castellamare a story somewhat similar to that of Palermo. Indeed the first castle of the sea, which owes its name to the city, was built by the Arabs in the ninth century and then enlarged by the Normans two hundred years later. It really is a very historically rich city. In somewhat more recent history, the city has supported General Giuseppe Garibaldi, who is known to be one of the Italian “father of the homeland”.

Thus after the fall of Palermo three American ships landed at Castellammare on June 17, 1860, with 3,500 volunteers, 8,000 rifles and 400,000 cartridges to support the Garibaldian troops.

Today's Castellammare is a pretty port town surrounded on the one hand by the sea and on the other by no less than eight very beautiful hills, the highest of which, the "Monte Inici" culminates at a height of 1 064 meters. From there you will have a very nice panoramic view of the city.

Castellammare del Golfo has a very special appeal for cyclists. The winding roads, surrounded by rolling hills and overlooking the turquoise sea, offer both sporting challenges and great panoramas. In particular, the ride down to the port, where the old town and the impressive 9th century sea castle are located, gives an intense sense of history and authenticity.

It is also interesting to note that this town supported Garibaldi in his mission to unify Italy, which adds an additional historical incentive to any stop here. Once down in the port, it is the perfect opportunity to take a break, perhaps in one of the cafes that line the charming promenade.

Another highlight for cyclists are the varied routes that lead up the gently rising roads to viewpoints such as Monte Inici. From there you have a fabulous view of the entire gulf and the town. Despite the sometimes narrow and steep roads, the climb is definitely worth it, even if it can get a little hectic at times.

For those who need a refreshment after a bike ride, the port is the ideal opportunity to stretch your legs and enjoy the atmosphere of the Sicilian coastal town.
