Let yourself be inspired

Tour along the northern coast of the natural reserves of Monte Pellegrino and Capo Gallo where you can admire the cliffs on the sea with the numerous karst caves and the typical Mediterranean vegetation, the system of Saracen watch towers and the seaside villages with their “tonnare”, a traditional system for fishing tuna. During the tour you can admire the marine habitats of the reserves doing guided snorkeling in the Gulf of Mondello and inside “Grotta dell’Olio”, reachable only by sea. You will be transported through nature, history, culture, folklore and curiosity of the territory of Palermo.
MTB and picnic at lake
Piana degli Albanesi
For bike enthusiasts we propose a mountain bike tour on a dirt path to an important site from the point of view of the landscape, nature and tourism such as Lake Piana degli Albanesi. The route is characterized by fields cultivated with fruit trees, olive trees, vineyards and wheat fields that do not intensively exploit the territory, which indicates a certain form of environmental protection. The route is of medium-easy difficulty and includes about 10km along the paths that reach the lake of Piana degli Albanesi. We will provide you all the necessary equipment.
HORSE RIDINGS AND TYPICAL PRODUCTS TASTING
Piana degli Albanesi
Horseback riding around Palermo. Excursion in total safety for hikers and animals. A walk through the fields of olive trees and vineyards surrounded by wheat crops that have made the Sicilian territory famous along the dirt paths that lead to the lake of Piana degli Albanesi, an important community site. You will be immersed in the typical shrub vegetation typical of a Mediterranean climate and of the endemic species of the humid habitats of the lake where you can have a restorative picnic with local typical products.
