    “Der Ort Sciacca ist erst auf den zweiten Blick schön, wenn man die wunderschöne Altstadt entdeckt hat. Um den Ort herum gibt einige Supermärkte. In einer Straße gibt es viele Händler, bei denen man Obst und Gemüse etc. kaufen kann. Das Fischangebot ist klasse.
    Den Ort Sciacca erreicht man in ca. 15 Minuten mit dem Auto.
    Durch die zentrale Lage war der Aufenthaltsort ideal, um die umliegenden Sehenswürdigkeiten wie Agrigent, Selinunte zu erreichen.”

    “Sciacca ist eine mittelgroße Stadt, die in früheren Zeiten touristisch wohl begehrter war als heute.
    Die städtische Strandpromenade macht einen vernachlässigten Eindruck.
    Etliche Ruinen umstellen den Hafen, die zuführenden Straßen erfordern die ständige Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers. In der Innenstadt herrscht hektischer Verkehr.
    Für die nötigen Einkäufe ist von Supermärkten über kleine Läden und täglichen Marktständen alles vorhanden, was man braucht.”

and turkish bath in prehistoric caves. Those caves, inhabited or used for worship, until the age of copper, were abandoned around 2000 BC when, perhaps following an earthquake, the fumes began to leak, making it impossible to inhabit them. According to a legend, Daedalus escaped from Crete, stopped near the vapor caves, having discovered their curative properties and adorned the caves themselves with seats carved in stone. The attendance of the caves of Mount Kronio for therapeutic purposes dates back to the Greeks, the exploitation of water to the Romans, the original creators of spa (Salus per Acquam) culture. The phenomenon, fed by secondary underground volcanic activity, occurs on the surface with a rich hydro-thermal basin.

The city of Sciacca has about 25 km of coastline alternating sandy beaches and steep or jagged cliffs, and offers to its visitors the opportunity to discover and choose between wild environments and well serviced beaches. Cristal clear waters and varieties of flora and fauna make it a perfect place for bathers and lovers of underwater photography.

A very interesting attraction of the area is the Graham Island (better knonw as “Isola Ferdinandea”), a “non-existent” island located just a few miles away from Sciacca. The island emerged in 1831 out of the water, but in 5 months the new land, formed by spontaneous eruption, gradually sank beneath the sea down to six meters of depth. Today the sea near the island is a true natural paradise and it is possible to do scuba diving and snorkeling with organized tours departing from Sciacca. (see here or here)

Sciacca has one of the most beautiful squares of all Sicily: Piazza Angelo Scandaliato, a panoramic and elegant terrace in the city center facing the african sea. The city is also interesting for its historical remains: more than forty churches, over twenty historical buildings and three original city medieval gates.

A unique attraction of the city is also the Filippo Bentivegna's “Garden of Enchantements” the Sicily's famous outsider sculpture garden (see here or here).

Many festivals and celebrations takes place in the city during the whole year. The most important are, without any doubt, the Carnival (about 45 days before Easter), the procession of the Madonna del Soccorso (February 2nd and August 15th) and the Festival of the Sea (June 29th).

Distance to major landmarks: Palermo (~ 90 km), Greek Temple of Segesta (~ 85 km), Temples of Selinunte (~ 30 km), Eraclea Minoa (~ 30 km), Valley of the Temples in Agrigento (~ 60 Km), Trapani (~ 90 Km), Erice (~ 95 km) nature reserve of Zingaro (~ 85 km), beaches of San Vito Lo Capo (~ 90 km), Piazza Armerina with the fabulous Roman mosaics the "Villa del Casale" (200km), Mount Etna (300 km).
