Capo d'Orlando

Capo d'Orlando is a coastal commune in Sicily along the northern shore, stretching for several kilometers and connecting sandy beaches with the Nebrodi mountain range. The town has a harbor, shops, and accommodations distributed along the coastal road.

The area was inhabited since ancient times, when Greek colonists established a settlement here. From these early origins, the place developed into what became an officially recognized independent commune in 1925.

The name refers to the cape that defines the coastline, and the town functions as a meeting point for visitors who move between beach and mountain activities. Local life balances fishing traditions, tourism, and rural living in the surrounding hills.

The railway station connects the place with other Sicilian cities and offers a convenient way to arrive without a car. The harbor is the central meeting point where boat excursions depart and restaurants and cafés invite you to linger.

Visitors can swim at the beach in the morning and hike in the Nebrodi Mountains in the afternoon, all on the same day. This closeness between sea and mountains makes the place accessible for different kinds of activities.
