Day trips include Selinunte, the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, Sciacca is a working fishing town with a well preserved historic centre and some shops and good restaurants.. Santa Margherita di Belice is a strangely, new town dominated by a 1970s conception of futuristic architecture, after a major earthquake in 1968 flattened the original city. S. M. di Belice is also the fictional Donnafugata of the famous novel 'The Leopard' of Tomaso di Lampedusa. The country house as described in the book is only partially destroyed. Nearby is Sambuca di Sicilia, a historic Arab-Norman town and the lake 'Lago Arancio'. 20 km away is the beach of Porto Palo di Menfi, a tiny village, just a few km east of the archaeological site of Selinunte. The beaches along this stretch of coast are amongst the most beautiful in Sicily. Most of the gently undulating countryside of the area is given over to vineyards. In the country side of Sambuca di Sicilia the premium wine producer Planeta can be visited.
