La Torre and la Tonnara, birdwatching, the crystal sea
Outing to the Vendicari reserve
The itinerary we suggest you follow, on foot or by bicycle, leaving from i Carusi boutique hotel towards the Vendicari reserve, takes you on a visit to the rocky inlet with a wide sandy shore, then continuing along the coast to La Torre and the Tonnara of Vendicari
On the way, stop off at the birdwatching hides: there you can observe the numerous species of migratory birds which spend the summer in our latitudes. Not to be missed is a dip in the crystal waters of this oasis. The closest beach to our boutique hotel is the northernmost of the reserve, on the mouth of the Tellaro river. Don't fail to visit the wonderful beach at Calamosche, named as the most beautiful in Italy by the Legambiente Blue Guide in 2005, with its clear waters, enclosed in a small bay of the Vendicari reserve. The finest white sand, with the bluest of blue seas, will give you a Caribbean experience on San Lorenzo beach.
