Subjects : Isola delle Femmine is a small Marinaro village perfectly in the center between Punta Raisi Airport (now Falcone-Borsellino) and the city of Palermo.Il place lends itself a lot to landscape photography thanks to its 3 symbols :-The Isolotto : placed a few hundred meters from the mainland, the icon of the village is a small island with a turret in the center. , the Saracen Tower of Earth is perfectly positioned in front of the Tower of the Islet with which it communicated in case of ambushes or intrusions from the sea by enemies.-The Sunset : thanks to its strategic location on the western tip of Sicily, the Sunsets will be your souvenirs tattooed in the heart. But thanks to its centuries-old history in Isola there will be other locations to shoot and make beautiful streets, as in the marinas where even today fishermen bring fish, set up their nets and park their boats. And again the auction of fresh fish every morning at dawn. The sunrises themselves, the beaches, the jagged coasts overlooking the sea, the small squares, the statues, the monument to Giovanni Falcone and his garden of Remembrance. And again, passing migratory birds and real seagulls protected by the Lipu... In short, those who have more put....

Recommended equipment : Definitely wide-angle , tripods, nd filters, lens to make street (a nice 35mm or 50mm 1.4/1.8 will be for you).

Best months : Island is beautiful and particular all year round. What you can photograph in November will definitely be different from what you will photograph in August for example. Being a seaside resort, certainly in peak season (July/August) you'll find a lot of people around, but there's room for everyone, then between June and September, the sun falls right behind the islet. In winter times surely fewer people will find, and you can enjoy and photograph the sea in all its strength, with the currents breaking one front in front of the majestic islet creating a unique line right in front of it.

How to get there : Getting to Isola is very simple and with technology it is even more so, just set the gps present in our smartphones and that's it. Let me give an unknown indication to most,if you arrive at Falcone/Borsellino airport you can take the train (cost 5.90 euros) and get off at the Island of Femmine.Il village is small and walking you can enjoy it in all its glory.

Visits : Free and free entry all year round.

Notes : Isle of Women is an ideal location to stay in relaxation and also devote yourself to your photographic passion as there are no shortage of ideas, indeed abound!!! From a good village siculo, then of course I do not even tell you about its "kitchen" but I think you will already imagine.... I would like to point out to you (for those who want to come here on holiday, to photograph, or even if it was just passing through for one night) a accommodation facility that we totally manage in the family : "THE HOUSE ON THE MARE". It is a guest house, with spacious and large rooms and private bathrooms in the room. We are present on booking ("The House on the Sea", https://tinyurl.com/LaCasettasulMare)... For "juzzini friends" a 10% discount that never hurts...
