Evaluation of San Vito lo Capo

Reaching San Vito Lo Capo is not exactly immediate: there is no highway that takes you directly there and the journey by car, although long and at times tiring between the roads that wind in the Trapani countryside, has the taste of adventure and waiting. For foreigners travelers, the nearest airports are Trapani Birgi and Palermo Punta Raisi; for those arriving by car any ship arrives at the port of Palermo.

When you finally arrive, the sight that opens up before your eyes repays all the effort: a vast stretch of pale, almost white sand and a crystal clear sea reminiscent of the Caribbean, with shades of blue and turquoise blending under the Sicilian sun. One of the peculiarities of this beach is its water, surprisingly cold even in the height of summer. For many this might seem like a flaw, but in really it makes every swim incredibly refreshing on the hot August days.

San Vito lo Capo, however, is not only about the sea: the streets of the village are lively, filled with clubs, small restaurants and shops where you can taste the best of Sicilian cuisine without spending a fortune. The warmth of the people, always kind and welcoming, as is typical of the Trapani province makes everyone feel at home from the very first moment.

That said, there are aspects that left me a little perplexed and that I can't help but mention them. Despite the breathtaking beauty of the beach and its surroundings, there is no real promenade where you can walk in the evening while enjoying the breeze and the view of the sea. In addition, the beach services are not quite up to expectations.

There is only one lido and several deckchair and umbrella rental services, that in my opinion are too expensive compared to what they offer: often just old, half broken umbrellas with no extra facilities such as a bar or restroom. It's a flaw you really wouldn't expect in such a famous destination. Accommodation prices also rise significantly in July and August due to the high influx of summer tourists.

Despite all this, San Vito lo Capo remains a place absolutely worth visiting at least once in a lifetime, a little corner of paradise where time seems to slow down, between the sea, good food, sunsets and the sincere hospitality of the Sicilians.

If you are looking for an authentic destination, capable of giving you postcard worthy landscapes and moments of pure relaxation, San Vito is for you.
