A Letter from San Vito Lo Capo, Sicily: Petar’s Summer Escape

Dear travelers,

Greetings from the sunny shores of San Vito Lo Capo! Today, we’re excited to have petxr.iv with us.

Petar, a Macedonian student studying in Ljubljana, recently had an unforgettable summer getaway to Sicily with his friends. After spending a few days in Palermo, they took a bus to the coastal town of San Vito Lo Capo, which is known for its breathtaking beaches and relaxed atmosphere. The bus ride took about 2.5 hours.

Petar and his friends spent five days in this charming town, and he found it to be a delightful escape. Everything is within walking distance, and while it’s a bit more expensive than Palermo, it’s less crowded with international tourists, attracting more locals instead.

The highlight of their stay was definitely San Vito Lo Capo Beach. Petar describes it as one of the most beautiful beaches in Sicily, perfect for soaking up the sun, swimming in the crystal-clear Mediterranean Sea, and enjoying the breathtaking mountain views. Unlike Mondello Beach, San Vito Lo Capo is quieter and more family-friendly, with no beach bars or loud music. Vendors selling drinks and snacks on the beach add to its relaxed charm. The beach provided a peaceful retreat, with calm, turquoise waters that felt almost unreal.

Another standout experience was a boat tour they booked through a local agency. The tour, which ran from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM, departed from a port a bit away from the town center. For €30, they joined a boat with 15 people, or for €35, they could be on a boat with 20-30 people. The tour included visits to historical tuna fishing sites, Scopello, and stops for swimming and snorkeling among coral reefs.

For anyone planning a trip to Sicily, San Vito Lo Capo should definitely be on your list. With its beautiful beaches, stunning natural scenery, and fantastic food, it offers a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. Thank you Petar for taking the time to share this experience with us.

Truly yours,

The Creation of Us
