Vendicari private visit 3 hours The Bird Hotel.
Overview
The easy route starts from the main entrance for about 1 km with a slight difference in altitude.
Vendicari, the bird hotel, is today one of the most representative wetlands in Europe and its importance, from a naturalistic point of view, is recognized internationally.
Of significant importance is the presence of endemic plants, halophytic plants and sclerophytic plants of the Mediterranean scrub: glasswort, carob, wild olive, mastic, myrtle and juniper coccolone which, in some places, reaches monumental proportions.
The route allows the hiker to visit, after crossing the large marsh: the ancient Swabian Tower of Vendicari; the tuna fishery, of which substantial structures remain; the salt pans, today a place frequented by countless birds; Near the latter, there is a fish processing plant characterized by tanks for the production of "garum", a typical sauce used by the Greeks and Romans to season food.

What To Expect
The Vendicari Wildlife Reserve is one of the must-see destinations for visitors to south-eastern Sicily. Situated along the southern Ionian coast of the island, with salt marshes, sand dunes and pristine beaches, it is a paradise for lovers of nature, ornithology and history.
Immersed in an almost mystical serenity, Vendicari offers a refuge for numerous species of migratory birds, including the picturesque pink flamingos, which find refreshment in the marshes during their journeys between Africa and Europe. The wild beaches and crystal-clear sea invite you to peace and relaxation, while the hiking trails, accessible to everyone, allow you to explore the rich flora and fauna.
