Porto Empedocle Guide

What is there to do in Porto Empedocle?

A sleepy town that revolves around the ancient harbour, it’s easy to spend a few days in Porto Empedocle just basking in the tranquillity. Whilst Italy, and more specifically Sicily, have adapted its infrastructure and environment to adhere to the relentless demand of modern tourism, Porto Empedocle seems proud of its rich heritage and simple, traditional architecture. Beautiful religious monuments line the town centre; the Mother Church and the Carlo V Tower combine a myriad of ethnicities and cultures in their structural design. After a day perusing the sights, the coastline is decorated with beautiful beaches that are ideal for whiling away a few hours under the Mediterranean sun. Even in the height of summer the beaches remain relatively untouched – mass tourism has yet to infiltrate Porto Empedocle which holds much of its appeal. After a day of sunbathing and exploring the shoreline, a few fine quality restaurants are dotted about, serving delicious seafood fresh from the waters.

How do you get around Porto Empedocle?

It is more than possible to cover the entirety of Porto Empedocle by foot, which is a pleasant option when considering the idyllic surroundings.
