Enchanting view of Monte Cofano in Sicily

by Silva Wischeropp

A magical view over the enchanting Sicilian sea with turquoise-coloured water and Mount Cofano in the background. This maritime photographic landscape shot was taken with the Nikon D800 during my Easter trip on 17 April 2019 on the island of Sicily in southern Italy.

The Monte Cofano Nature Reserve is a protected area between the municipalities of Custonaci and San Vito Lo Capo in the beautiful province of Trapani and is one of the most interesting natural attractions for both Italian and international tourists. Surrounded by silence and nature, this place is a true jewel on the north-west coast of Sicily, criss-crossed by numerous paths where time seems to stand still. Monte Cofano is a mighty natural rocky outcrop between the beautiful bay of Castelluzzo to the east and the Gulf of Bonagia to the west. The reserve can be easily explored on foot - enjoy the magnificent, wild and unspoilt prairie landscape with its countless dwarf palm trees, whose shades of green contrast with the cobalt blue of the sea, while the sweet grass glistens in the warm Sicilian sun. Experience this unique adventure amidst the colours and scents of the Mediterranean. Fantastic bathing beaches with small lidos that lie on the marvellously crystal-clear sea invite you to cool off. A perfect place for pure relaxation and meditation. This magical water landscape is ideal for your living space in the bathroom or as a motif for relaxation in the bedroom.
