Places to see in ( Castellammare del Golfo - Italy )
Places to see in ( Castellammare del Golfo - Italy )
Castellammare del Golfo is an attractive seaside town on the north-western coast of Sicily, between Palermo and Trapani (not to be confused with Castellammare di Stabia in mainland Italy, near Naples). The historic little fishing port has a very picturesque location, below steep mountain slopes, with a handsome curved harbour at the foot of a small headland topped with a castle. Castellammare is just touristy enough that visitors don't feel out of place, but it isn't overcrowded with hotels and it has an authentic Sicilian 'feel'.
Castellammare del Golfo's principal attraction is the sea. The town's little fishing and pleasure port, called the Cala Marina, curls to the west of the castle promontory, and makes a pleasant stroll, punctuated with bars and restaurants. The harbour-front route can get sadly busy with traffic - Sicilians enjoying a car-and-scooter-borne passeggiata - but when temporarily pedestrianised in the evening the street is taken over by promenading visitors and locals passing the time of day and inspecting the fish displayed in cabinets outside restaurants. There are still small working fishing boats in Castellammare, and you may see fishermen mending their nets on board, or selling the day's catch at rickety tables on the quayside, while hopeful harbour cats prowl along searching for scraps.
There's a room with displays about the tuna fishing industry, historically so important to this part of Sicily, though nearly extinct in the Castellammare area. Information boards are in Italian, but historic exhibits (such as the rough boat-hooks used to bludgeon the unlucky tuna and pull them aboard boats) and a short 1950s documentary film, shot at Scopello, are accessible to all. During the film, watch out for the Rais, the leader of the tuna fishery, the traditional working songs of the fishermen and get an idea of how complex and entire a world the tuna fishery (tonnara) was. Men lived in communal buildings during the fishing season, labouring on nets which were then built into a sequence of net 'chambers' in the sea, into which the migrating fish would be shepherded, culminating in the 'Room of Death' where the nets were raised and the fish met a brutal end. Apparently at the Castellammare tonnara, one of the first fish caught was dedicated to the Madonna del Soccorso, placed on a floral float and paraded to church (later it was sold in the market and the proceeds donated to the church).
In the harbour Cala Marina, there are several businesses renting out boats, cars and scooters and organising excursions. Boat trips are popular but don't run daily outside summer months; you should telephone in advance or ask your hotel to do so for you. In the summer there are frequent boat excursions to San Vito Lo Capo, a seaside resort beyond the Zingaro reserve, which usually give you time to see the town, view the reserve and Scopello from the sea, and swim in a cove. It is also possible to try 'pesca turismo', fishing tourism, going out with a fisherman in his boat. The tourist information office, quayside fishermen or Ristorante La Cambusa can put you in contact with fishermen who'll organise a trip. Hiring your own boat is an adventurous way to explore the attractive coastline west of Castellammare, or visit less accessible beaches and coves.
There are sandy beaches (more below) to the east of Castellammare, and some more scenic coves in the steeper coastline towards the Zingaro nature reserve. The small beach at Guidaloca is pretty, convenient for drivers, and equipped with sunbeds and a children's pool, while the rocky coves at Scopello and within the Zingaro nature reserve appeal to swimmers and more energetic beach-lovers (be aware that in the summer, there are many of these, and bays become crowded). Scopello is a pretty village above a legendarily beautiful cove housing a former tuna fishery, the Tonnara di Scopello. It makes a good excursion, and there is a diving centre at Scopello for active holiday-makers. The coast and hill paths of the Zingaro reserve just beyond Scopello are popular with walkers, though you should note that there's little shade during the hot summer months. If you are driving in this direction, don't miss the popular belvedere above Castellammare which has good views over the town and coastline.

Places to see in ( Castellammare del Golfo - Italy ) Castellamare del Golfo Beach
A long time ago, the charming Castellammare del Golfo on the Golfo di Castellammare, used to be the port for the towns of Erice and Segesta. Later it became an Arab fortress. The port – which is dominated by the castello – is the biggest attraction of the town: in the early morning you see the fishermen go out to sea in their typical white-blue fishing boats, to later return with delicious fresh fish. From the harbor you can go on organized boat trips, but you can also rent your own boat if you want to explore the Golfo di Castellammare on your own.
Sitting on a terrace overlooking the harbor, you can enjoy a cocktail, Sicilian wine, home made ice-cream or a refreshing Sicilian granita. In the summer period Castellammare’s harbor comes to life at night and the area becomes a pedestrian zone, with lots of bars, pubs and restaurants.
The corso is a nice area for shopping and from the town square you have access to the smallest of the two sandy beaches. The other, much larger, beach is located just outside of Castellammare del Golfo. In the summer period there are several lidos, where you can rent sun loungers and beach umbrellas, but the main part of Castellammare’s sandy beach is free of charge.
Castellammare del Golfo is also an excellent starting point for visiting all places of interest in the area. You can easily reach the famous nature reserve Lo Zingaro (10-15 minutes by car), and the small town of Scopello, with the famous tonnara, where we organize scuba diving activities and boat trips. Other locations well worth a visit are the medieval town of Erice, the temple and amphitheater of Segesta, the archeological park in Selinunte, the salt pans (saline) near Marsala, the cathedral of Monreale, the city of Palermo and many more

►► ABOUT: Hey Guys! My name is Jerry Romine and In May of 2015 I sold off everything I owned and moved from Phoenix Arizona to Chiang Mai Thailand. With hard work I grew a fledgeling Amazon business to 7 figures, grew my investment portfolio, traveled the world, lived on my motorcycle for 5 months in South America, and even lived in a million dollar home with a car provided for free. The crazy part is I probably spend less money than you because I live this lifestyle on only $2,000 - $3,000 per month. If any part of my lifestyle appeals to you then please subscribe and I’ll share with you what has worked for me.

Podcast 16: Sicily and Isle of Man (2 Very Different Island Experiences)
We had the chance to visit two unforgettable island locations in Europe in a two-week span. Spending time in Sicily, Italy with friends gave us an opportunity to understand the deep culture and rich history of the southern island that has been the home to many references throughout our lives. The passion of the people and the fantastic food will be a lifelong memory.
Isle of Man, Ireland is a lesser known ‘tax haven’ that sits between the Republic of Ireland and England. It is usually a pretty quiet island, but it comes alive at the end of May and early June with the running of the TT Motorcycle Races that will blow the mind of any spectator lucky enough to see it in person. We were that lucky!
