It was established on the initiative of the local community, which opposed the construction of a road between Scopello and San Vito lo Capo. In the reserve one will encounter a great wealth of flora and fauna, including with more than 30. species of birds that are found there. The spectacacutalrna cave Grotta dell'Uzzo was one of the first settlements in Sicily. All of this makes the Zingaro reserve a must-see on a trip to Sicily! If that hasn't convinced you yet, take a look at the photos of the place. You can find them below, later in the article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the biggest attractions of the reserve are the 6 small bays, which are also beaches. You can find the names and photos of each of them below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reserve can only be explored on foot, although of course you can also swim to it. There are two entrances to the Zingaro Reserve: from Scopello, and from San Vito lo Capo. They are marked on the map as <em><strong>ingresso nord<\/strong><\/em> and <strong><em>ingresso sud<\/em><\/strong>. There are large parking lots at both sites, which fill up fairly quickly (especially in high season). The reserve is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. An entrance ticket costs only \u20ac5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mapa_rezerwatu_Zingaro\"><\/span>Map of the Zingaro reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the entrance, at the ticket offices, you will get a map of the entire reserve, with marked trails and all important points. Below you will find this map, so that you can prepare to visit the Zingaro reserve beforehand \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166-720x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Zingaro reserve map\" class=\"wp-image-1642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166-720x1024.jpg 720w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166-768x1092.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166-1081x1536.jpg 1081w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4166.jpg 1407w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Map of the Zingaro Nature Reserve (photo viaitalia.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Szlaki_turystyczne_i_plaze\"><\/span>Hiking trails and beaches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A minimum of 3 hours should be allotted for a tour of the reserve, i.e. going from one entrance to another. For me, that's how long the tour took: including taking photos, resting, a second breakfast and an obligatory swim in one of the coves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are 6 trails available to visitors, of varying length and difficulty. The most popular, easiest and also the shortest is the one right at the shoreline. On the map it is marked as <strong><em>Sentiero Costiero<\/em><\/strong>. The length of this trail is about 7 km. It was this trail that I followed during my trip to the Zingaro Reserve. From this trail you will get directly over each of the coves of the reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started my tour of the reserve from the south side (Scopello), and I will also describe the reserve in that order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Plaza_Cala_della_Capreria\"><\/span>Cala della Capreria beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After buying a ticket and starting along the coastal trail after walking more than 1 km. We will encounter the first of the beaches: <em><strong>Cala della Capreria<\/strong><\/em>. This one, as well as the last one, are the most crowded, due to their proximity to the entrance (or exit :-)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185-1024x675.jpg\" alt=\"Cala della Capreria in Zingaro\" class=\"wp-image-1652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185-1024x675.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185-370x245.jpg 370w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DSCF4185.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Cala della Capreria (photo: viaitalia.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Punkt_widokowy_Punta_Leone\"><\/span>Punta Leone viewpoint<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another beach is located more than 2 km. from the first one.

Anyway, see for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0427.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"707\" src=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0427-1024x707.jpg\" alt=\"Cala Marinella, Zingaro\" class=\"wp-image-1669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0427-1024x707.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0427-300x207.jpg 300w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0427-768x530.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0427.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Cala Marinella beach (photo: viaitalia.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0434.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"672\" src=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0434-1024x672.jpg\" alt=\"Cala Marinella in Zingaro\" class=\"wp-image-1670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0434-1024x672.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0434-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0434-768x504.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0434.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Cala Marinella beach (photo: viaitalia.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the fact that access to the water is difficult, this beach probably impressed me the most. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0439.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0439-1024x703.jpg\" alt=\"Cala Marinella beach in Zingaro\" class=\"wp-image-1671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0439-1024x703.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0439-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0439-768x527.jpg 768w, https:\/\/viaitalia.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/DJI_0439.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Cala Marinella beach in Zingaro (photo viaitalia.co.uk)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Grotta_dellUzzo\"><\/span>Grotta dell'Uzzo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We return to the trail and continue walking.

In a nearby bar you can buy chilled drinks. After such a tour, an ice-cold cola is perfectly refreshing, almost as much as a swim in one of the coves \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Informacje_praktyczne\"><\/span>Practical information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You should prepare in advance for a visit to the reserve. First, bear in mind that the length of the shortest trail is 7 km. Secondly, if you intend to walk to San Vito lo Capo, you need to <strong>add another 12 km(!!!)<\/strong>. If we intend to walk along the trail to the end of the reserve and return, that's a total of 14 kilometers. Before setting out, we should be aware of this and prepare accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important thing is adequate provisions. It is necessary to take an adequate amount of <strong>waters<\/strong>, the minimum is 1 liter. It is worth preparing <strong>plate<\/strong>, such as sandwiches. We can buy both water and sandwiches next to the cash registers, in nearby \"bars\" (de facto trailers).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper clothing will also be important. The basics are <strong>hat<\/strong> and sunglasses to protect from the sun and <strong>relevant<\/strong> <strong>footwear<\/strong>. As during the trip to Sicily I also went to Etna, so I took with me typical mountain footwear, which worked perfectly both on the volcano and in Zingaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And let's not forget <strong>towel<\/strong>. I guarantee that after a long hike you will want to take a refreshing swim on one of the beaches of the reserve. Even if you don't plan on beachcombing, a towel is worth taking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dojazd_do_rezerwatu_Zingaro\"><\/span>Getting to the Zingaro Reserve<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to get to the reserve is by rental car. This is by far the best option for visiting the reserve. We can drive to the Scopello entrance, or to the northern entrance. We will then have the opportunity to drive along the scenic route along the coast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to reach the southern entrance by bus from Castellammare del Golfo. As far as I know, there is no bus service to the northern entrance. However, I have read that it is possible to transfer there via a carrier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.astatransfer.it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.astatransfer.it\/<\/a> - However, I have not used this option myself, so this is information to be verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that if we leave the car, we have to return for it. Wanting to visit the entire reserve, we are facing a 2\u00d77 km hike, for a total of as much as 14 km of trekking! I had an easier task. My wife left me at the Scopello entrance and picked me up 3 hours later on the other side. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If I had to name the place in Sicily that impressed me the most, it would definitely be the Zingaro Reserve.
