| | | | Review by Anthony Duffell from Bexhill on Sea
Sciacca is a bustling and somewhat chaotic town with a north African feel. Steeped in history, Sciacca offers a magnificent basilica and numerous churches, the remains of the ancient walled city and castle, fascinating alleyways running up and down, lots of steps, ceramic art, attractive palm-lined pizzas, beautiful views, various good quality restaurants, abundant seafood, and so much more. Driving around is a challenge however, with scooters darting around everywhere, and general traffic chaos at peak times. A few bars and restaurants, as well as most supermarket cashiers not very tourist friendly. Sciacca is surrounded by lovely beaches, with spectacular beaches within 30 mins drive in either direction: the nature reserve in Marinella di Selinunte to the west, and Eraclea Minoa to the East.
Review by Steve Johnson from Lincoln
Very quiet between 1pm and 5pm, and on Sundays. The best beach is about 25km East if Sciacca at Erreclia Minoa...which is straight down the SS115 and signposted as you get nearer.
There's pretty much no rules on the roads, but driving was actually pleasent once you understood that...horns and flashed lights generally are used to let you know other cars are there - and not used aggressively at all, and getting out of busy junctions is just a case of nudging your way out.
