Eraclea Minoa – Nature and history by the sea

Tucked between the Platani River and the Mediterranean Sea, Eraclea Minoa is one of Sicily’s most peaceful and untouched destinations. Known for its golden beaches, natural reserves and archaeological site, this area offers a rare blend of nature and culture.

Explore the remains of the ancient Greek city, including a scenic clifftop theater, then lose yourself in the Platani River Nature Reserve, with its dunes, pine woods and Mediterranean vegetation.

Whether you're looking for quiet beaches, clear waters or timeless beauty, Eraclea Minoa is a perfect getaway — and a great base to visit the Scala dei Turchi, Agrigento and the Valley of the Temples.
