Subjects : Capo Zafferano is a small promontory that extends into the Tyrrhenian Sea, belonging to the territory of Santa Flavia in the metropolitan city of Palermo. The subjects that can be photographed are: landscape, sea, cliffs, sunrises and sunsets, beacon for boats, just before the lighthouse there is a small church overlooking the sea, while just around the lighthouse there are buildings, once a completely vandalized navy area. There are also numerous seagulls, snails and various insects. From a flora point of view we find instead the classic Mediterranean scrub, the bird's throat and the sea fennel.

Recommended equipment : SLR, wide angle, tripod, filters for long exposures and remote shutter release. Macro lenses for flora and canvases / medioteles for birds, passing boats. I also recommend comfortable sneakers, and a windbreaker.

Best months : The period is all year round, perhaps avoiding the months of July and August because of the tourists / bathers. Sunsets and sunsets are the recommended moments to get the best out of the enchanting landscape. But you should not disdain even moments with the stormy sea and in the right periods you can also make startrail of the Milky Way.

How to get there : From Trapani take the A29 towards Palermo and then the A19 towards Catania / Messina, while from Catania and / or Messina take the A19 / A20 towards Palermo, and exit at the Bagheria motorway junction. From here take the SS113 and follow the signs to Capo Zafferano. Arrive at the turning point "Lido del Carabiniere" park and walk for about 800m until you reach the lighthouse. Do not enter the car as the road is very narrow and with only 2/3 plots to park.

Visits : Free entry.
