    Great place for a beach walk close to Syracuse. You can park your car close to punto della molla. It's a small parking but safe because guards of a nearby hotel/beach were present (I'm not sure if they always are, we maybe just got lucky). The cliffs and vegetation make for great viewing points of Ortigia and the sea. There are some vacant houses and even bunkers probably used in WW2 at punto della molla ready for exploration. The hike up to punta del gigante is about 3.5 km. It took us about 3 hours to hike up to there and back again, but we took lots of breaks to hike up the rocks for better viewing points. It's not a great place for sunbathing as there is not much sand, mostly sharp rocks.

    It's located in a reserve. You could park your car for free before the entrance, you walk for another 10 minutes, mostly under tall trees, then you could see the dunes and the beach which stretches for a long distance. There are some people but they won't bother you as there is space for everyone.

    We have visited this magical place having the best driver one could ask for Antonio Domenico Leanza.

    This is the best location where to enjoy a beautiful 360 degrees panorama of the whole island. It can be easily reached by asphalted road or alternative walking paths.
    It is usually quite and really deserves a visit if you are in Pantelleria.

    This national park is high up surrounded by beautiful scenery. It has rocky dramatic mountains covered with forests and small rivers. Birds can be heard singing everywhere.
    There is a car parking area off the main road, a picnic and BBQ area, and signed trails leading into the fenced protected area. There are small gates in the fences to get through.
    You will no doubt meet the local cows on the trails but they are not aggressive, just respect them.
    There is a visitor centre and bird watching hides but they were closed during our visit.
    The nearest town is Sambuca Di Sicilia, which itself is a charming village.
