Try a regenerating hike in the beautiful nature of Piano Margi<\/strong>, where the Cinisi cows graze, Pizzo Peluso<\/strong>, Montagna Longa<\/strong>, also ideal for motocross, and Pizzo Montanello<\/strong>, just above Cinisi. Or go mountain biking<\/a> in the Capo Rama Nature Reserve, just a few kilometres from Terrasini.<\/p>\n

In Terrasini, take time to discover the collections of the Henri d’Aumale Regional Museum of Natural History<\/a>, one of Sicily’s must-see contemporary art stops<\/a>, with its fascinating Permanent Exhibition of Sicilian Carts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grab your snorkelling mask and dive in front of the small island of Cala Rossa<\/strong>, so called because of the reddish streaks on the beautiful cliffs.<\/p>\n

With its beaches, Terrasini is perfect for surfing and windsurfing<\/a>, sailing<\/a>, sup, kiteboarding and diving<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Terrasini’s main square, closed to traffic, is the ideal place for an aperitif, while Praiola beach<\/strong> awaits you for a nighttime swim. If you like to start the day with a jog, head to the seafront and you won’t regret it.<\/p>\n

In nearby Cinisi, visit the Casa Memoria Peppino Impastato<\/a> and hear the story directly from someone who knew Peppino Impastato. This experience is an inner journey that will help you understand the meaning of what we call engaged tourism.<\/a><\/p>\n

Surfing on the Magaggiari beach, eating sandwiches made with local zero-mile products and buying fish at dawn from the fishermen at the small port are among the things you absolutely must try.<\/p>\n

A dive into the past takes you to explore the watchtowers between Cinisi and Terrasini: Torre Molinazzo<\/strong>, Tonnara dell’Orsa<\/a> and Torre Pozzillo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Torre Capo Rama<\/strong>, at the end of the Capo Rama Oriented Reserve<\/strong>, is the only circular tower on the coast (all the others are square).<\/p>\n

From Torre Alba<\/strong>, also in Terrasini near Cala Rossa<\/strong>, there is a breathtaking view. Here, impressive exhibitions and displays are often held.<\/p>\n

These towers were part of the defence system of the coastal towers of Sicily<\/strong> to protect the Mediterranean coast from the incursions of Barbary and Ottoman corsairs. Later, the same towers were used to watch out for schools of tuna for the adjoining tuna fishery.<\/p>\n

A few words also about the famous Cinisi cow: its milk is used to make fresh caciotta cheese, ricotta and Palermo caciocavallo, which is rich in flavour thanks to the fodder plants typical of the area of origin.<\/p>\n

You should know that desserts are delicious in Cinisi and before leaving you must try u pizzettu<\/em> di gelato: a piece of ice cream cake similar to the Sicilian cassata that was once sold in the streets as u scialacori ca v’arrifrisca<\/em>, that is, the pleasure that refreshes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
