Cala Rossa on Favignana, in the Egadi archipelago, is widely considered one of Sicily’s most breathtaking coastal spots. Its clear water and rocky seabed attract snorkellers and divers, while two nearby sea caves, including the Grotta degli Innamorati, add to its appeal.
On a hill just outside the ruins of ancient Segesta, overlooking the Gulf of Castellammare, stands an unusually well-preserved Doric temple, thought by some to have been built around 420 BC by an Athenian architect. Its six-by-fourteen columns and unfinished details—including unfluted shafts and lifting tabs left in place—suggest that construction was never completed, while its association with the indigenous Elymians makes it a particularly intriguing Greek-style monument.
Tonnara di Scopello is a historic tuna fishery and seaside hamlet in a dramatic rocky cove on Sicily’s north-western coast, now preserved as an open-air museum and boutique accommodation. Its original boats, production warehouses and maritime tools are framed by limestone faraglioni and crystal-clear turquoise waters, creating one of Sicily’s most famous coastal landscapes.
