Marettimo and Riserva dello Zingaro
April 24th to 28th, 2024
The perfect settings for this journey are the island of Marettimo (Egadi), Monte Cofano, and the Riserva dello Zingaro. Islands and mainland alike, waiting to be discovered through their local traditions.
Our days will be spent hiking the trails of Marettimo, an Egadi gem where we’ll encounter ancient caves and stunning coves, framing a side of Sicily where farming heritage meets seafaring tradition. We’ll wrap up our final days at Monte Cofano in the bay of Custonaci and the Riserva dello Zingaro, stretching from the entrance of San Vito Lo Capo all the way to Scopello.
We will traverse one of the most beautiful nature reserves; "lo Zingaro" is a stretch of land that naturalists have defined as "the most beautiful and solitary in Sicily," with no roads, accessible only on foot or by boat from the sea. The itinerary includes overnight stays in Marettimo (2 nights) and San Vito Lo Capo (2 nights). 5 days and 4 nights for a wonderful trekking holiday in Sicily.
