San Vito Lo Capo is by far the most popular climbing area in Sicily with more than 1200 routes, spaced only 45 minutes from our kitesurfing spot. The vertical walls right in front of the sea are a real climbers venue. You don’t need to be an expert – learn to climb from a local instructor and enjoy the adrenaline also on no-wind days! Ask for booking with the climbing school in advance.

A little harbour city of special charme, with a long sandy beach and a mountain at it’s back. Check out the Arab-Norman castle and the Mother Church or simply enjoy a coffee in one of the bars with sea view.
A medieval village on the top of a mountain with a spectacular view over Trapani. Considered as one of the most beautiful villages of Sicily, famous for it’s history and numerous churches. You can also reach it by a cable car (like the ones in the Alps) leaving from Trapani. Best enjoyed at the sunset.
Wave surfing is one of the things we are stoked about. It requires some know-how though, as the local scene is very small. There are a few beach breaks in the area, you just need to wait for the right conditions to get some – usually – wind swell after stormy days. Renting equipment is […]
First natural reserve of Sicily, famous for it’s stunning coast line. After a short hike you’ll get to one of the little, sandy beaches hidden in between the rocky cliffs, surrounded by turquoise water. Pass by Scopello village and try the local pane cunzatu & sfinzone. Best during low-mid season (avoid crowds in August).
Join the fishermen on a regular day of work on the open sea. Take part in fishing the tuna, octopus and other species and then enjoy the catch at your dinner! One of a kind experience.

There are some breath taking trekking/hiking routes around! Monte Monaco is a ~1hour easy trek with an amazing view right over San Vito lo Capo.

Enjoy a relaxing hot bath in a wild river or get a nourishing treatment in a nearby SPA. Best at night: Take a headlamp, swim suit and a bottle of wine;)
Sunset aperitif is always enjoyable – especially with a view over the lagoon and with some Italian cocktail classics. Among our favourite places are: Mamma Caura, Le Vie del Vento beach bar, The Seven beach bar, Freedom beach bar and Baia dei Fenici beach bar (the last one located in San Teodoro).
A tiny place in a private house on via San Pantaleo. An old man selling what currently grows next to his house, including hand made olive oil, capperi and Marsala wine. Local vibes.
The local wine factory: a place that we visit regularly. Get a bottle or a 5l plastic container filled up like at a gas station.
A quick swim in the sea or a lazy sunbathing afternoon? This is the closest place with a sandy beach. Playa del Rio is a nice beach bar. From there you can also have a walk to the salinas on Isola Lunga.
