The Area
San Marco is situated just a few kilometres west of Sciacca, a working fishing town with a well-preserved and fascinating historic centre and some excellent shops and restaurants. Sciacca was founded by the Greeks in the fifth century BC, when the residents of Selinunte made use of its hot thermal springs as a spa. There are several thermal spa complexes in and around the town where visitors can bathe in the hot sulphurous waters.
San Marco is ideally placed for visiting the fascinating Greek archaeological sites of Selinunte (to the west) and The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento (to the east).
The coast around Sciacca is sprinkled with excellent sandy beaches and those around Porto Palo-Menfi (just to the west) have received 13 consecutive "Bandiere Blu", attesting to the cleanliness of the water and their general ecological excellence. Driving west past Sciacca, one soon comes to the long sandy nature reserve beaches of Torre Salsa and Eraclea Minoa and the stunning white marl cliffs and beach of the Scala dei Turchi.
If you're looking to explore some of Sicily's historic towns and cities, Palermo, Trapani, Marsala, Mazara del Vallo and Erice are between 1 hour and 1.5 hours' drive away.
Cycling in the Sciacca-Menfi area is a very pleasurable pastime, thanks both the quiet back roads and a purpose-built cycle track along the old railway line between Sciacca, Menfi and Porto Palo.
