In the east the climate is influenced by the proximity of the continent and the IN NAUTICAL MILES SICILY steep interior elevations: there is less wind, it rains more and in winter temperatures are Marsala - Petrosino 7 a little lower. In the west, however, the climate is much drier and milder even in the middle Marsala - Trapani 14 of winter, although the winds tend to be stronger and more frequent. Marsala - Favignana 8 FROM CAPO D’ORLANDO Trapani - San Vito lo Capo 19 WINDS Trapani - Levanzo Centro Storico 7 In summer the prevailing winds come from the west north west but storms are quite rare. San Vito lo Capo - Castellammare del Golfo 12 The sirocco, which often blows in winter and in the intermediate seasons, can be dange- rous although coming from the land. This is because it is accelerated by the contours of Castellammare del Golfo - Terrasini 12 TO MILAZZO the island and it can arrive quickly and with storm force raising a short and confused sea Terrasini - Isola delle Femmine 11 a short distance from shore. The levante winds are typical in winter and almost comple- Isola delle Femmine - Palermo Mondello 6 tely absent in summer. In the western zone between Capo San Vito and Marsala the Palermo Mondello - Palermo La Cala 6 winds are more often from the west and are generally more intense because of the Palermo La Cala - Santa Flavia 10 bottleneck of the Sicilian Channel (the distance between Marsala and Capo Bon in Palermo La Cala - Ustica Cala Santa Maria 37 Tunisia is only 77 miles).

Immediately behind Trapani the land becomes steeper. First we find Furnari Portorosa - Lipari - Porto Pignataro 23 SEA EAST SIDE Mount Erice, on top of which its namesake village is clearly visible, with the Castello di Ustica Milazzo - Messina 29 Venere (Castle of Venere); proceeding towards the east, direction Capo San Vito, we find Milazzo - Vulcano Porto Levante 21 Cofano and Monaco Mountains. To the west of Castellamare, the hills are not very high. Basiluzzo As you approach Palermo, the hills become higher and steeper. Monte Pellegrino, just along the coast near Mondello, is typical. The vegetation is scarcer to the west but Panarea becomes thicker and greener towards the east. The Madonie Mountains reach their Filicudi Salina AEOLIAN maximum height behind Cefalù, reaching almost 2000 metres. Further east there are the Alicudi ISLANDS Nebrodi Mountains, also well above 1000 metres. From the Gulf of Tindari to Milazzo, Mount Etna is clearly visible, with its height of 3330 metres and its summit almost always covered with snow. In the stretch of coast between Milazzo and the Strait of Messina, the Lipari Peloritani Mountains have a steep and imposing profile. The coast is a continuous alternation of rocky stretches, sandy beaches, and pebble beaches.
