Best places: Nature preserves in Trapani, Italy

👍👍 Etna is a fantastic experience you should never miss while you’re in Catania - Sicilia! I recommend you do the visit early morning before 10:00, otherwise it gets crowded like hell. Be prepared with corresponding footwear as it is likely to have snow also late spring. The view of the City of Catania...

Seaside nature park with coastline cliffs, rare plants, museums, picnic areas & trails to the ocean.

Marine limestone deposits make for unique geological formations at this waterfront hiking area.

👍👍 The Riserva dello Zingaro is situated within the Province of Trapani (Sicily) and, belonging to the Comune of San Vito, it consists of a magical stretch of coastline interspersed with spectacular beaches. There are two entrances which can be reached by road, each with a car park. The northern entra...

👍👍 I cannot understand why this beach is not over populated like so many other Italian beaches. Just as beautiful as many others and much quieter. Lovely walk through the woods to get to the beach takes about 10 minutes. No cafes or shops which we liked. Lovely water.

👍 Breathtaking views. A must see when close to Etna. Beware of very strong winds. You can rent warm clothes in winter.

Protected coast known for kite-surfing, with landmark windmills & salt pan habitats for flamingos.

Rugged coastal nature reserve with steep cliffs & caves & a habitat for falcons, buzzards & owls.

👍 An incredible place in the southern cost of Sicily. 20 mins South from Agrigento. The Road to reach it is totally destroyed so if you can try to go with a high car or even better a jeep. The view from the hill above the abandoned house is stunning and also the little hike down to the beach is nice a...

Ancient archeological site showcasing a series of tombs carved into a mountain.

👍 It's a rather small nature reserve with a lot of different kinds of birds. The scenery along the sea is very VERY nice and photogenic. If you are in the neighborhood this is a recommended place to visit for maybe an hour.

Swimming or wading in streams carved into steep gorges, or at a shallow, rocky beach.

😠 Beautiful and wild sea but whole experience was a nightmare. Worst dirt road I've ever driven on. Bushes on the side growing into the road which can sratch your car. On the way back google map took us on a different way out which was a quite steep uphill road with stones. Little Fiat 500 nearly gave...

👍👍 Fantastic state park, even though the island itself is closed to visitors you can still walk over to the island and enjoy the view from that other side. There are quite a few steps to get down to the beach from the road and going down is not bad but climbing back up is a challenge if you are not us...

Nature trails in rocky river gorges & an ancient necropolis with tombs cut into the side of a cliff.
