Selinunte is a wonderful place where to spend a vacation, for those like me that never ever have been there before or even have never heard of it, is a place where to stay for sure.
Selinunte has been one of the most important Greek colony of Sicily, located in the southwest coast, for this reason nowadays has such a great historical relevance, there you can visit ruins of ancient Greek temples, but this wonderful place is not only suggested for cultural visits, and its vast archaeological park (the biggest of Europe), the Sea side is surely another “strong” reason to spend some time, the beautifulness of the Sea and its beaches makes the unique possibility to gather together cultural and relaxing aims all in one.
Just to mention a few the Lido Pineta beach, probably one of the most clean beaches of all Valle Belice, Lido Zabbara Acropolis beach from where you can have a splendid view of the Acropolis and which is probably less dedicated to Sea-side activities and sports, however still have the possibility to hire Paddleboats, canoes and has restaurant service as all as showers and all the necessary for a relaxing day at the Sea.
Last but not least, the great typical food products, starting from the world famous Extra virgin olive oil of Nocellara del Belice, something really unforgettable, if you taste the difference to any other commercial Extra virgin olive oil will never want to get back! A special mention has to be done to the freshness of the fish, but also try the typical cheese Vastedda of the Belice valley.
I believe you have understood that it is a perfect place for vacations, so if you are looking for more information I suggest this portal on Selinunte.
