It is called Azzurra and from its terrace you can see the sun go down in the sea. In fact, Macari is also the place where one of my favourite restaurants is.
The bay right before San Vito, where the villages of Castelluzzo and Macari are situated, is a sight not to be missed and the place from where you can see the best sunsets ever. It all starts even before you enter the village itself. San Vito is in fact between Trapani and Palermo, which makes it a great base for day trips.īeing a small village, there are no monuments worth mentioning, besides the Church, which used to be a fortress.īut the beauty of the place lies in the nature all around. If you want to enjoy it at its best, June and September are the best months to visit, as July and August are peak season and almost all Italians are on holiday!ĭuring our latest trip, we stayed in San Vito for 8 days and visited nearby Trapani, Erice and Segesta and even Palermo from there. San Vito is very famous for its beautiful beach and turquoise sea and it has now become popular with people from all over Italy. But during the summer it is a different matter. It is still like that during low season… quiet and peaceful. It used to be a small fishermen’s village where everyone knew everyone else. San Vito has changed a lot since the 1960’s. This means that he knows almost everyone and that almost everyone has been his pupil! It’s hard to go around with him without being stopped by people who want to say hi. My father, in fact, started his 40 year long career as a teacher in this village in the 60’s. My family has strong ties with this place. My grandparents had a summer house there, so we would visit them and spend the summer all together. It is a place I know very well, as I used to live there for 2 months every summer. San Vito Lo Capo – San Vito for short – is a beautiful little seaside village near Trapani. Today I will take you all back to Sicily, to explore another area with my San Vito Lo Capo Guide.
