It lies near nature reserve Vendicari and the coastal landscape of Capo Passero – the small town of Pachino, where visitors encounter typically Sicilian small town life. The sandy beaches along the coast on the south-eastern cape are simply marvelous.

Not far from the nature reserve of Vendicari and the coastal landscape of Capo Passero lies the small town of Pachino.
Visitors to this place encounter typically Sicilian small town life. Agriculture, especially viniculture, defines the landscape. Those who decide on spending their holidays in this place and area for sure value unspoilt nature.
Pachino is also called "Il paese del sole e del ciliegino", the village of the sun and of the cherry tomatoes. The deliciously sweet tomatoes, ciliegini, are cultivated at and around Pachino. They are great ingredients for salads and tomato sauces and perfect for garnishing Mediterranean dishes.
Baroque Chiesa Madre in the main piazza of Pachino dates back to 1790.
The beaches along the coast at the southeastern cape, from Capo Passero to the seaside resort of Pachino-Granelli, are a perfect dream. Green and largely unspoilt, nature in this area is always caressed by a pleasantly fresh breeze.
Tip: At the small town of Capo Passero, at the southernmost tip of Sicily, do stop by the bar Plaza del Sol - Il Bar più a sud d'Europa isole escluse (the southernmost bar of Europe, islands excluded). It is of course located right by the sea and offers refreshments and snacks.
