How the experience works
This is a hosted local experience, not a certified guided tour inside the Reserve. Your host provides transportation, local tips and practical orientation before entry. Time inside the Reserve is self-guided, following the suggested route and respecting the protected area’s rules.

Coast and memory
A landscape that tells Sicily’s story
Scopello overlooks the sea and the Faraglioni from a landscape shaped by work, maritime tradition and limestone. Inside the Reserve, Mediterranean scrub and dwarf palms line coastal paths of remarkable natural value. The protection of this place is also linked to the civic movement that helped defend it, preserving a deep relationship between local communities, sea and landscape.
The day does not necessarily include entry to the Tonnara, archaeological visits, museums, towers, caves or any specific cove.
