The surroundings that reveal the true Sicily
Sicily is worth visiting. Explore must-see places
Let your holiday continue beyond the beach. At Calanovella Camping Village you’re in the heart of a surprising Sicily: landscapes that change around every bend, villages suspended in time, and breathtaking views that suddenly open onto the sea. Set off on an excursion or simply follow your curiosity: every place here has a story to tell.
Piraino, the village welcoming you from above
It's a small town overlooking the sea from above, with quiet alleys, stone architecture and a truly unique atmosphere. From the Saracen Tower or the viewpoint (La Guardia di Piraino), you can gaze out over the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands. It's the closest point for taking in the area's history.

Tindari: nature, spirituality and beauty
Two souls in one place: the Sanctuary of the Black Madonna, suspended on the rock, and the Marinello Lakes Reserve below, with golden sands and brackish lakes that change shape with the wind. An experience to be enjoyed in one breath.

Aeolian Islands: the dream archipelago
