Cala Capreria Beach, Riserva Naturale Orientata Dello Zingaro

Highlight • Beach

Easy tour if approached in the right periods, I would exclude the very hot months in addition to the heat it is frequented by many people. The equipment must include trekking shoes or at least gym shoes no sneakers lots of water a hat and those who prefer poles can help if you take the high route, for the rest have a good walk.

Wonderful hiking trail, which is partly made of scree and has many ascents and descents. Therefore hiking boots are important. Don't forget your swimwear and water bottle.

Not far from the beach and the museum, a spacious picnic area with numerous tables, all under shady roofs. Ideal for a midday rest in the shade.

Zingaro Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Riserva Naturale Orientata dello Zingaro is a real treasure for hikers who want to embark on a journey of discovery along the Sicilian coast. The approximately 7-kilometer-long path winds through untouched nature, past breathtaking limestone formations and hidden bays with crystal-clear water. The variety of landscapes is impressive - from the dense vegetation with dwarf palms to the rocky cliffs that drop dramatically into the turquoise sea.

If you decide to take the path, be aware that there are no comfortable coastal roads that lead you through the reserve. This is what makes the Zingaro so charming - the wilderness remains untouched here. It is worth starting early, especially in midsummer, as the sun can be merciless in the midday hours. Sturdy shoes and plenty of water are essential in your backpack.

It is also interesting that this nature reserve emerged from a fight against the construction of a coastal road. Thanks to the commitment of the population, the Zingaro was designated as the first nature reserve in Sicily in 1981. It is a symbol of resistance and love of nature that is still protected and cared for today.

Although a fire destroyed large parts of the reserve in 2012, nature is slowly recovering. Particularly impressive is Monte Speziale, the highest elevation of the Zingaro, from which you can see as far as San Vito Lo Capo in good weather.

The path along the coast is not a strenuous mountain tour, but an impressive hike through a piece of nature that is unparalleled in its pristine state.

An easy hike for relaxing and dreaming, at least this time of year and early in the morning.
It won't be so deserted in the summer—we had the bay to ourselves for swimming.
Of course, you also have to like the 15-17 degree water temperature.

On the way back we saw whales or dolphins.
