Traffic is not allowed in the majority of its tiny streets, alleys and squares, enabling the old town center to thrive as a traditional, European salon. A stop here in one of the many cafés and restaurants is a must after admiring the splendid palaces of Cavaretta, Riccio di Morana, and Lucatelli, and walking along the sea by the beautiful promenade on the Mura di Tramontana. This Sicilian city is well connected to Europe through the Rayanair’s low cost flights, and is also a perfect starting point to discover wonderful landscapes and towns that are just few kilometers away. Local charms include the salt pans with their dramatic windmills, and the Natural Reserve of the Isole dello Stagnone, a wide lagoon with the island of Mothia, a Phoenician colony from the 8th century BC. Endless vineyards producing the rare Marsala wine stretch out in this dream-like landscape, encapsulating the rural soul of this charming side of Sicily.
