The Hidden Gem of Sicily: San Vito Lo Capo

San Vito Lo Capo is a small coastal town in the northwest part of Sicily. As I was flying over it, I noticed how the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea contrasted against the stark white of the sandy beaches. The town itself looked like something out of a postcard with its pastel-colored houses and quaint cobblestone streets. Upon further investigation, I discovered that San Vito Lo Capo has a rich history and unique culture. It was once inhabited by Arab pirates and has since been influenced by Spanish and Italian rule. It's also known for its annual Cous Cous Fest, where chefs from around the world compete to make the best couscous dish. I found myself comparing this place to other coastal towns I have visited in Italy like Cinque Terre, but San Vito Lo Capo has a distinct charm that sets it apart.
