Explore the southern coast of Sicily through a route rich in charm and history, which connects Realmonte to Porto Empedocle, passing through the picturesque Villaggio Bellavista and Marinella. This itinerary is an invitation to discover breathtaking landscapes, between sea, culture and nature.
Starting from Realmonte, the path leads you along the coast, where the sea breeze and the infinite blue of the Mediterranean accompany you step by step. The route is characterized by a difference in altitude of 90.8 meters, with a lowest point at -0.2 meters above sea level and a highest point at 90.6 meters, offering a journey balanced between lightness and challenge.
Along the way, you can admire the extraordinary white cliffs and the chromatic contrasts typical of the Agrigento coast. Passing through the Villaggio Bellavista, you will find a corner of peace and authenticity, while Marinella will welcome you with its marine and traditional atmosphere.
