Beautiful Beaches and Temples the food is great too!

I've spent many summers in Selinunte, as my family comes from a town very close to there.

The beach is clean and beautiful. My recommendation would be to have lunch at Baffo's, a long, leisurely lunch. Leonardo is a fantastic waiter, and all of the other staff are very helpful as well.

The main street in Selinunte is a one way, if you follow the street in the direction of the flow of traffic, the last beach entrance on your left, where you pay for chairs/ umbrella's, etc. is the one to go to. The staff are great and you don't get people coming up to you trying to sell you stuff.

If you feel like some culture, you pass the Selinute Greek ruins on the way out, give them a go, very interesting to see.

A wonderful part of Sicily

We enjoyed our two nights in the Marina of Selinunte immensely. We stayed at the Hotel Admeto, which is a contemporary 4-star hotel. The rooms are contemporary and have nice terraces, and the balcony looks over the sea and is gorgeous. The service needs much improvement and the lobby needs to be warmer and more lively. Our time on the beach and exploring the ruins was absolutely wonderful. And the food at La Pineta seafood restaurant (on the beach beyond the main part of the Marina) is absolutely fantastic, some of the best fish and seafood we have ever had. Go on a warm night and they may have tables in the sand. A locals' restaurant that is no-frills but absolutely perfect. Enjoy the linguine with clams (vongole), the gamberoni, and the spaghetti siciliana. The mussels are also not-to-be-missed. The beach to the west of the main marina is particularly love (in the direction of La Pineta and the reserve).
