Parco Urbano di Terrasini

About

Quick facts: It extends over 6 hectares along the shore of the Tyrrhenian Sea, and was once part of the private villa of the Florio family. It is lined with hundreds of oleander trees, palms, and Mediterranean plants planted by the Florios themselves over a century ago.

Highlights: At the edge of the park, from the cliff, there is a view of a natural pool that locals call "Cala Rossa," where the sea water foams and changes color depending on the time of day. In the park, a 19th-century stone mooring ring still stands, a witness to the time when ships carrying citrus fruits and spices from all over Sicily docked here.

Insider tips

• Sedite na klupu kod litice u 17h i posmatrajte kako se sunce probija kroz grane starih borova - to je najlepši fotomomenat.
• Obujte patike ili ravne cipele, staze su mestimično kamenite i neravne posle kiše.
• Park je gotovo prazan radnim danima ujutro, izbegavajte vikende kad se okupi dosta porodica.
• Potražite skriveni kameni stepenište koje vodi do malog platoa iznad mora - tamo vas čeka pogled bez drugih posetilaca.
