Top choice in Western Sicily
Travellers with their own vehicles should consider detouring 15km east of Selinunte to this venerable eatery right on the beach in Porto Palo. In business for five decades, Da Vittorio has earned a reputation as one of western Sicily’s best spots for fresh seafood. The front-row view of crashing breakers is wonderful any time of day, but especially at sunset.
Hotel rooms (single/double €60/85) are available upstairs for anyone too contentedly stuffed to contemplate moving on.
