Country of Andrea Camilleri, creator of the famous commissioner Salvo Montalbano... #tuttitaly
In Porto Empedocle, you will see glimpses never seen before. You will be kidnapped by the very particular old houses, the narrow alleys, the food, and the views that will enter your body and soul.
Porto Empedocle, in addition to the characteristic ancient houses and the narrow alleys that characterize the village, owes its fame to the beautiful sea that surrounds it, considered, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful in Italy.
The ancient Borgo was born as a sailor village and was called "Marina di Girgenti," the old name of Agrigento. The flavors and culinary traditions are handed down from a very ancient activity.
Until recently, loads rich in sulfur left here for the whole world, which is why it was considered one of the most important ports on the southwestern coast of Sicily.
Porto Empedocle inspired famous authors, and it is a perfect destination for those in search of the sea but also of history and culture.
Luigi Pirandello and Andrea Camilleri were born here. Camilleri has decided to set his novels by Commissario Montalbano in this place, giving life to Vigata and the province of Montelusa ( two fictional towns invented by the writer ).
On the nearby coast, you can relax and enjoy a breathtaking view of the vast beaches of Marinella and Lido Azzuro, where it is inevitable to get lost with your gaze against the wonderful Scala Dei Turchi.
You are in the right place for those who love the warm and enveloping sun. Here you will hear that the air and landscapes 'taste' of Africa.
From here, it is also possible to easily reach other wonders, such as the Valley of the Temples, the Pelagie Islands, Lampedusa, and Linosa.
