Things To Do
There are so many things to do in Sicily! WE’VE PULLED TOGETHER SOME RECOMMENDATIONS FROM OUR PLANNER AND FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HAVE TRAVELED TO SICILY.
The Tonnara di Scopello
OUR VENUE. located on a nature preserve, there’s lots to do at the tonarra! you can visit the museum on-premise and learn about how the space was previously a medieval tuna fishery, or swim and sunbathe. this will be home-base for us, so come and go as you please :)
Scopello
THE TOWN OUR VENUE IS LOCATED IN. it’s about a 15-minute walk to the venue from the town center. THE WALK IS PRETTY STEEP SO WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES OR DRIVE. here you will find a small town with a few hotels, restaurants, and shops. great for a day trip of you want to explore.
Castellammare del Golfo
AROUND A 20-MINUTE DRIVE FROM SCOPELLO. THIS IS THE NEXT TOWN OVER AND IS MUCH BIGGER THAN SCOPELLO. IF YOU WANT MORE OF A CITY FEEL WITH LOTS OF BEACH OPTIONS THIS MAKES A GREAT DAY TRIP TOO!
Palermo
THE CAPITAL CITY OF SICILY, PALERMO IS A BEAUTIFUL MELTING POT WITH arab, norman, and spanish HISTORIES. it’s also the biggest city in Sicily and home to great restaurants, outdoor markets, and architecture. it’s set on the coast but surrounded by the mountains!
Palermo: Palazzo Butera
recently restored by a very cool couple, this palazzo is an 18th-century noble palace filled with contemporary art, ancient paintings, terraces, and gardens to explore.
Trapani
located on the western tip of sicily, Trapani is a historic harbor town with lively piazzas and waterfront promenades. at night the city comes alive with wine bars and winding alleys to explore. located a 45 minute drive from scopello.
