San Vito lo Capo is one of Sicily's most beautiful coastal towns, located on a headland in northwestern Sicily about 40 km north of Trapani. The town is known for its chalk-white sandy beaches and the international couscous festival in September. A rental car is almost essential here to explore the surrounding area.

Trapani center is reached in about 45 minutes (40 km) via SP16 and SS187. Segesta with its magnificent Greek temple is about 60 km to the south, approximately 1 hour's drive. Zingaro Nature Reserve, one of Sicily's finest, begins just 15 km to the south along the coast.

Drive early in the morning to Zingaro to enjoy the reserve's hiking trails and unspoiled coves before the tourists arrive. Take SP16 south to Castellammare del Golfo (about 30 km) for exquisite Sicilian food and a medieval harbor. Book a rental car in advance during the summer – San Vito lo Capo is extremely popular in July–August.
