San Vito Lo Capo, Sicily

We love beach towns! We really loved this one called San Vito Lo Capo.  It's mid-October, and the summer season is winding down, but it is still the greatest weather...soft breeze, perfect 78 degrees, lots of sand, and a small surf.  The town is vacation rentals, hotels, restaurants and tourist gift shops.  

 

There was just the right amount of people to make the beach interesting but not crowed.  It was the perfect time of year to visit here and not contend with the summer crowds.

On the drive back to Palermo (completing our tour around the whole island of Sicily) we discovered the most perfect bay.  The water was crystal clear, and the water was so smooth...not a ripple or a wave.  Snorkelers where exploring the shallows and others were sunning on the beach.  We needed to catch a plane back to Italy's mainland, or we would have been there too....we would still be there if we could.

We were sad to leave Sicily.  It was a wonderful trip around the island with our travel partners.  We will remember the great food (really great food), beautiful cities and countryside.  Sicily is one of the most beautiful islands we have visited.
