Montallegro Tour: from the sea to the ghost village

Explore the mystery of a lost village and an untouched sea

Explore the mystery of a lost village and an untouched sea. Imagine immersing yourself in a unique experience where the pristine nature of the sea and the history of a ghost village blend to give you unforgettable moments. In Montallegro, an ancient Sicilian village with deep roots, you have the opportunity to live two exciting adventures that reveal the secrets of a fascinating, yet lesser-known territory.

1. Walk and Snorkeling with Marine Biologist .Your day begins with a morning walk to discover the flora and historical and naturalistic peculiarities of the area. Always accompanied by an expert marine biologist, you will explore the pristine sea of the Torre Salsa Nature Reserve or that of the white cliffs of Capo Bianco. Snorkeling in these transparent waters will offer you an extraordinary spectacle: among seagrass meadows, rocks, and a variety of rare marine species, you will witness the clear beauty of the Mediterranean.

2. Trekking on Monte Suso and Museum of Peasant Civilization. After a morning full of emotions, the late afternoon reserves a different but equally captivating adventure for you. The guided trek on the promontory of Monte Suso will lead you to discover the ghost village of Montallegro: an abandoned settlement at the second half of the 1600s, shrouded in mystery and history. As you walk among the ruins, you can almost hear the voices of those who once inhabited this village and admire a breathtaking panorama that stretches to the sea. The excursion will conclude with a visit to the Museum of Peasant Civilization in the new historic center of Montallegro. Here, the ancient tools and utensils recovered from the old village will tell you the stories of a community with ancient traditions.

Whether you choose one of these experiences or both, the Seacily Montallegro Association will welcome you with its authenticity, giving you a journey through time, between nature and history, that will leave a lasting impression on your heart.
