Exploring the local Area
The long, often deserted sandy beaches are without a doubt one of the major attractions of the area around Menfi, and Le Chicas is within easy reach of several of these. From the wild beaches of the Belice Nature Reserve (5 mins by car) to the fully equipped lidi with sports and restaurant facilities of Porto Palo, this area is a magnet for beach lovers. For those in search of culture, the superb Greek archaeological site of Selinunte is one of the finest in the Mediterranean. Menfi itself is a centre of the local wine industry, with several wineries, including a large Planeta winery that produces some of the best known wines of that famous marque. Sciacca, too, is just up the coast. This old fishing port and spa town is well worth a visit, and has some great fish restaurants. And when you've done all that, head inland to see some fascinating hill towns, such as Caltabellotta or Sambuca.
