An ancient Phoenician colony with shallow waters and ancient archaeological finds, one of the most evocative attractions of Sicily.

Surrounded by the shallow waters of the lagoon of the Stagnone di Marsala is the small and enchanting island of Mozia, once a Phoenician colony, and today a place rich not only in history and culture, but also in valuable natural beauty.The Stagnone reserve is the largest lagoon in Sicily, between Punta Alga and Capo S. Teodoro and is an Oriented Nature Reserve since 1984.

This immense "mountain", with a snow-capped peak for most of the year, is surmounted by a constant cloud of smoke, reminding us that volcanic activity is still present and quite frequent. An excursion is more than necessary because walking over rivers of incandescent lava that flows underground, surrounded by black stones of past flows, immense expanses of green and flowering meadows, and ancient eruptive cones now inactive will give us indescribable emotions.

Definitely one of the places to visit in Sicily if you love nature. Inside are enclosed the highest peaks of the region that in winter are covered with snow while in summer they offer excellent routes for trekking and mountain biking.

Another perfect place for nature lovers are The Alcantara Gorges, near Messina. Here the river has carved into the lava rock spectacular canyons that descend up to 50 meters deep into the stone. Inside there are crystal clear waters where you can play sports or have an invigorating bath.

The island of Ortigia, connected to the mainland by 3 bridges, is the true historic center of Syracuse, the oldest and most evocative part. Widely considered one of the most beautiful destinations in Sicily and makes for a perfect weekend escape in any season.

The Zingaro Nature Reserve is one of the most admired Sicilian natural pearls, it is a small Earthly Paradise and appeals to hikers but also to those who want to have the experience of diving in these crystal clear and transparent waters, with a perfect temperature. Here the scents of the Mediterranean scrub, crystal clear water with shades ranging from emerald green to shades of cobalt blue.
