Porto San Paolo

Mediterranean Coast


Yes, you can dine on seafood here – as with all of Sciacca's portside restaurants – but the budget-minded will also find it a prime spot to sip sunset aperitivi and nosh on wood-fired pizza. Either way, the big drawcard is the spectacular panoramic terrace, with divine views over Sciacca's fishing harbour.
