Zingaro is a quiet Nature Reservepark with the cleanest seawater and the most amazing deep blue sky of Sicily
For the good sports after the museum there was next the climb to the caves (the older generation) and for the others... ..eh... Well...there was the just the sea of course ... all the time
To see the difference there we also visited the sandy beach of San Vito lo Capoand... Tasted one of the delights of the region:Caldo e Freddo (a very special icecream)
After a long, hot and dusty day there was afterwards a refreshing plunge into the waters of San Leone Beach
