Vendicari Nature Reserve

Overview

Between nature and history

Beaches and coastal dunes, dense vegetation, salt and freshwater ponds, archaeological sites and tuna fisheries, a wealth of wildlife, and walking and cycling routes. The Wildlife Oasis of Vendicari natural reserve is all this and much more.

This 15,000-hectare protected area on Sicily’s east coast, between the towns of Noto and Marzamemi, is a corner of paradise where nature puts on an exceptional show. 

There are many paths to choose from. The Blue Route crosses the northern area of the Reserve, starting from the beach of Eloro where you can admire the remains of the city of the same name. The Green Route is ideal for archaeology enthusiasts. It passes through the Citadel of the Maccari and Byzantine necropolis and reaches the Tonnara di Vendicari, with a clear Arab influence. Remember your binoculars on the Orange Route to watch migratory birds, before arriving at the Torre Sveva and the Vendicari or Calamosche beaches. Here, you can go diving to explore the underwater flora and fauna.
