We were welcomed very warmly and were given a recommendation for a level spot right by the water. We like the place very much. A lovely walking path leads directly to an old lighthouse. The night was absolutely quiet.
not a scam, the entrance fee for overnight is euro 12, you either pay on arrival and keep your ticket to show when leaving, if you have no ticket on exit, they will charge you then, as simple as that.
We arrived here after the ferry and were shown where to go in a friendly manner. We were happy to pay the twelve-euro access fee. About 300 meters away there is a large grassy area for many motorhomes. Strong lighting from the harbor at night and later some activity. In the morning we moved to the quieter rear area. Overall, a beautiful, fair and dreamlike place for us.
It was a scam, beautiful place tho, in the night no one asked for money but in the morning when we wanted to leave this place we had to pay 12€
It's a seaside parking area, with rocks for swimming. It's beautiful to have dinner while watching the sunset and be lulled to sleep by the waves at night. Close to Mondello beach, and you can reach Capo Gallo point by walking. We paid 10 euros for 24 hours. Recommended.
As of today, the road appears to be private, and there are several signs warning of the danger of falling rocks from the mountain. We turned around.
Beautiful, peaceful, very romantic place, but it now costs 12 euros! Only the first and second spots can be used. The parking spaces farther ahead cannot be reached with campers.
We stayed there for one night. €12 is collected at the gate. We felt safe. The night was quiet; occasionally a car went to or from the harbor. In the morning, many locals came to swim at the beach.
Cars kept coming and going all night, which made us feel unsafe. A group of teenagers played very loud music next to us at 2 a.m., and in the morning there were alcohol bottles right beside our tires. The view of the sea was great in the morning and the location itself is quite nice, but we cannot recommend it. We paid 10 euros when entering.
The road layout to the site is completely confusing, and shortly before reaching the destination we had to give up in our 2-meter-wide Hymer Camp on a narrow road. What a shame.
Large, level area, easy to reach. But 150 meters farther on is the nicer parking spot, directly by the sea.
Beautiful parking area, only 30 minutes away after arriving by ferry. Views of the sea and mountains. Quite clean and level. Bins available. We were alone.
Stunning panorama; at sunset it is enchanting. Parking without services, but absolutely worth it!!! 10 euros for 24 hours.
