Places

Beaches

Stair of the Turks

The Stair of the Turks, or Scala dei Turchi, is a striking brilliant-white marl and limestone cliff on Sicily’s southern coast at Realmonte, sloping towards turquoise waters. Along the surrounding coast, sunlit pebbly beaches and secluded white-rock coves offer a varied seascape.

Beaches

San Vito Lo Capo

San Vito Lo Capo

San Vito Lo Capo is centred on a famous three-kilometre stretch of fine golden-white sand and shallow, crystal-clear turquoise water, framed by the dramatic Monte Monaco. Its appeal extends to the surrounding coastal nature reserves and historic architecture.

Beaches

Rabbit Beach

Rabbit Beach (Spiaggia dei Conigli), on the southwest coast of Lampedusa, is widely celebrated for its crystal-clear turquoise waters. To protect its small, flood-prone natural environment, it admits a maximum of 550 people per shift, with visiting hours divided between morning and afternoon.

Beaches

La Praiola

Terrasini

La Praiola is a small, picturesque sandy cove in Terrasini, framed by dramatic limestone cliffs and clear, shallow turquoise water. Reached by a long stone staircase from the town, it has minimal facilities and a natural, rugged character, with striking views and memorable sunset spots; the access is not suitable for those with mobility issues.

Beaches

Tonnara di Scopello

Scopello

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.

Beaches

Lido Beach Agua

Reitani

Agua is the common denominator between Caribbean beaches and Baroque cities, between relaxation and a thirst for adventure! Its strategic location allows you to easily reach Noto with its historical wonders, Marzamemi with its breathtaking sunsets, the unspoiled nature of the Vendicari Reserve, and the enchanting panorama of San Lorenzo.

Beaches

Lido Europa Catania
