Tindari

Well loved by national poet and writer Quasimodo, Mount Tindari is the eldest “inhabitant” of Patti overlooking the Gulf, creating a spectacular and breath-taking view for the contemplative souls. Of particular interest is the constantly changing of shape you can admire on one of the best-known beaches of the area, the Laghi di Marinello (the Marinello Lakes ). The unique phenomenon is due to the rapid and changing direction and strength of the wind, which acts like a musical instrument in the hands of a virtuoso performer. . .

On the mountaintop of Tindari, at 300mt of height, lies the sanctuary with the statue of the Black Madonna. Here, you can also visit the ruins of an old urbs romana (probably destroyed by a climatic disaster) and the remaining Greek amphitheatre dated back to the III century b.C.

Patti

Patti is a small village on the East Coast of Sicily, kissed by the sun for most of the year. It is surrounded by the wild and massive mountain chain of Nebrodi on the south side, while gently brushed by the sea on its northern border. Relax and enjoy the warmth of the hot sun while overlooking of the nearby Eolie Islands , which are well-known among the tourists and the locals for their timeless daily shows of water and fire. The tiny little streets and steps will enable you to discover the secrets of the historical centre, where you can appreciate the old replications of medieval shops, the “ bummuli ”. However, if you are after a lively night life, with music and entertainment to keep you going until the morning, then you should go towards the louder and relatively modern seafront. The ancient-looking “ lampare” (typical small fishing boats) still give the marina its old style characteristic charm.

Patti was originally founded in the VIII century A.D. From the town`s historical centre you can enjoy the fabulous view of the Gulf that lies beneath. Also a must is to admire the ruins of an old roman Villa dating back to the 3rd century A.D. The Cathedral contains the tomb of the famous countess Adelasia dei Palermitani, a very influential woman in the old XII century Sicily , mother of King Ruggero d`Altavilla.

Patti is among the most famous locations on the island of Sicily known for ceramics production; evidence of this old artistic tradition can be found inside Villa Pisani, in Marina di Patti, which houses the Old Ceramics of Patti Museum

THE PARK OF NEBRODI MOUNTAINS

Nebrodi Mountains, Peloritani and Madonie constitute the Sicilian Apennines, bordering on the northern side with the Tyrrhenian Sea and on the southern side with the Alcantara River (whose head is in Nebrodi themselves) and the upper stream of the Simeto River . The area is overgrown and the landscape is characterised by a humid climate and round-pointed relieves (with sporadic chalky displays which give a more irregular and rough appearance to the surface). The highest peak is 1847mt ( Mount Soraino ). Its high altitude pasture land, peaceful lakes and vigorous streams are the least known aspects of Sicily , contrasting the common view of the island as an arid and linear territory.
