Parrinello between lagoon, salt pans and coast

Parrinello connects the lagoon landscape of the Stagnone with the offerings of Saline Genna, museums, the archaeological site of Mozia and nearby beaches. On the coast of the Stagnone near Marsala, there are also schools for windsurfing, kitesurfing, canoeing and sailing. In Marsala, Parrinello Pescheria e Cucina adds a fish shop and restaurant to this setting. The range thus extends from the protected waterscape to individual destinations in Marsala.

Lagoon and salt-pan landscape

The Riserva Naturale Orientata Isole dello Stagnone di Marsala is a nature reserve with a 2,000-hectare lagoon. It lies between Punta San Teodoro and Capo Lilibeo. The lagoon is separated from the open sea by the island of Grande, also known as Longa; it includes the three islets of Mozia, Santa Maria and Schola. Those interested in coastal landscapes will encounter a lagoon at the Stagnone with clear geographical boundaries and several islands.

Saline Genna: guided tours and salt-bath peeling

At Saline Genna, a guided tour of a submerged Phoenician-Punic road is on the programme. Guided tours of the salt pans are also offered in Italian, English, French and Spanish. A salt-bath peeling treatment is also available. The tour of the road focuses on archaeology, while the tours and peeling treatment are directly connected to the salt pans.

Trips on the water

Saline Genna also offers a ferry service to the island of Mozia. On the coast of the Stagnone near Marsala, there are schools for windsurfing, kitesurfing, canoeing and sailing. For planning the day, the two water-related options can be clearly distinguished: the ferry service is for the island of Mozia, while the schools offer windsurfing, kitesurfing, canoeing and sailing. Mozia thus appears here both as an island in the lagoon and as the destination of the ferry service.
