Lido Zabbara

Western Sicily


For tasty, reasonably priced food near the ruins, hit this low-key beach eatery, rocking it on the sand since 1969. Affable long-time owner Jòjò welcomes temple-weary travellers onto his delightful outdoor terrace for grilled fish and a varied buffet of two-dozen items, including many salads and vegetables. Afterwards, rent umbrellas and sunloungers and stick around to sunbathe.

Come dark DJs and dance parties morph Zabbara into a buzzing bar.
