Sustainable Sicily

The Sicily of 2025 invites you on a different journey, far from stereotypes and closer to the island’s truest soul. Not a land to consume, but to experience slowly, among unspoiled landscapes, villages coming back to life, and communities that safeguard ancient traditions. Here, sustainable tourism is not an abstract concept, but a concrete experience that brings together culture, nature, and gastronomy in a single mindful itinerary.

Walking among nature and communities

The journey begins inland, the beating heart of authentic Sicily. The trails of the Nebrodi and the Madonie open up endless views, while the Slow Paths Network and the World Park of the Mediterranean Lifestyle offer total immersion experiences.
In Sant’Angelo Muxaro, the scattered hotel welcomes travelers with stories told by locals and archaeological treks. In Ferla, a model of urban sustainability, tradition and innovation blend in a regenerated landscape.

Sleeping green: ethical hospitality and comfort

The night becomes part of the journey. Across the island, structures adhering to networks such as EcoBnb and GreenKey are multiplying: stone houses restored with natural materials, eco-resorts powered by solar energy, seaside glamping with zero-kilometer cuisine.
In Ragusa, ancient estates offer tastings of organic wine and workshops on the short supply chain, while in San Vito Lo Capo one can sleep in photovoltaic yurts. In Noto, “plastic-free” B&Bs show that hospitality can be ethical without sacrificing comfort.

Traveling with taste: cuisine that tells the future

Each stage is a meeting with Sicily’s most authentic food and wine. More than 80 wineries have chosen organic and biodynamic protocols, transforming wine tasting into a cultural and environmental act.
At farmers’ markets and slow festivals, you’ll discover organic Bronte pistachios, hand-picked Pachino tomatoes, and couscous made with ancient grains: flavors that tell stories of identity, resilience, and future.

Moving green: cycling, sailing, discovering slowly

The journey continues with mobility that respects the environment. In Palermo, you walk or cycle along the new Greenway towards Monreale. In Trapani, electric bikes lead you through salt pans and windmills. With historic tourist trains, the island can be explored in a slow, evocative way, while in the Egadi and Aeolian Islands, zero-emission boats and catamarans are on the rise.

Sustainable Sicily as a vision

Choosing this itinerary means embracing a new vision of the Mediterranean: a Sicily that is not just a tourist destination but a laboratory of environmental, social, and cultural regeneration.
Traveling sustainably here is no longer an alternative, but the most authentic choice: for visitors, for residents, and for all who love this unique land.
