The Journey
Monte Pellegrino Coastline
Begin your adventure with a scenic sail along the magnificent Monte Pellegrino coastline. This route offers stunning views of Palermo's iconic mountain, blending natural beauty with glimpses of historical landmarks along the way. The journey sets the stage for exploring the cultural and scenic treasures that await, including opulent villas and hidden caves.
Villa Igiea
Discover the grandeur of Villa Igiea, a luxurious neo-Gothic hotel that was once a noble residence. Perched on a promontory overlooking the azure waters of Porto dell'Acquasanta, this landmark showcases exquisite Art Nouveau (Liberty) architecture from the early 20th century. Nearby lies the enigmatic Queen's Cave, a jewel of Palermo. Accessible by sea or a scenic path from Mondello, this cave features a unique oval basin carved into the rock, illuminated by a natural skylight, offering a mysterious and historically rich experience.
Arenella Port
Explore the charming Arenella Port, nestled at the foot of Monte Pellegrino. Originally developed to serve the Tonnara Florio in the 19th century, this picturesque harbor retains its dual identity as a fishing port and a tourist haven. Experience the authentic maritime atmosphere, surrounded by rocky walls and the echoes of Palermo's fishing heritage, just a short distance from the Port of Acquasanta and the main Port of Palermo.
Vergine Maria Beach
Relax on the golden sands of Vergine Maria Beach, a modest yet beautiful stretch nestled along the Tyrrhenian Sea. Once a narrow strip at the base of Monte Pellegrino, its beauty has been somewhat altered due to coastal modifications. Despite this, the beach offers crystal-clear turquoise waters and a tranquil escape. Vergine Maria provides a serene spot to soak up the sun and appreciate the blend of nature and local life on Palermo's northwestern coast.
Mondello
Escape to Mondello, a delightful borough of Palermo famous for its stunning beach nestled between Mount Gallo and Mount Pellegrino. Originally a marshland fishing village, Mondello blossomed into a tourist hotspot in the late 19th century. Admire the elegant Liberty-style villas that line the promenade, making it a showcase of Art Nouveau architecture. Enjoy a leisurely lunch with views of the beach or the Oriented Natural Reserve of Capo Gallo, savoring the essence of this iconic Sicilian destination.
Capo Gallo Natural Reserve
Immerse yourself in the natural splendor of the Capo Gallo Oriented Natural Reserve. Established in 2001, this protected area spans approximately 586 hectares and boasts diverse habitats and numerous endemic species. Discover caves of significant archaeological interest, revealing evidence of ancient civilizations. With ongoing efforts to restore the original environmental conditions, Capo Gallo offers accessible trails and a chance to connect with Sicily's rich biodiversity and breathtaking landscapes.
