Location and Contact

Location

Large, fertile, and at the center of the Mediterranean, Sicily has invariably been somebody else's prize or, "the cradle of invasion."Was first overrun by the Sicels (an ancient people who left many stone tombs and the root of the island's name) and the Sicans. The Greeks arrived in the eighth century B.C., establishing important colonies whose ruined temples and theaters remain some of the island's great tourist attractions. The Romans made it the first province of their empire-Arabs left a flourishing legacy of crops: oranges, lemons, melons, pistachios, and a new breed of wheat. The Normans contributed castles, cathedrals, and blue-eye genes. Looking to the the sea and dominated by Mount San Calogero on its east side, Sciacca is the oldest baths resort of Sicily and one of the biggest town in the south-western coast. Very famous are the Natural Steam Vents of San Calogero, 7 Km away from the town. The area was inhabited up to the Copper Age, when an earthquake (2000 BC) caused the emission of vapor. Nobody could live there anymore and the spot had to be abandoned. Several items have been found, evidences of people living there. The caves have been called after a monk who, arriving in the spot in the 6th century BC, realized that the vapors could treat several diseases, and provided the area with stone benches for sick people. The largest is la Grotta del Santo (the saint's cave), where St. Calogero probably lived, l'Antro di Dedalo (Daedalus's cave) and la Grotta degli Animali (The Animals' cave). Today the caves are part of the modern establishment of the Terme. The geysers originate from an underground hot water spring flowing beneath Mount Kronio. The vapors come to the surface along the fissures of the rock, and reach 40°C. Many illnesses can be treated with the vapors, such as rheumatisms, skin diseases, gynecological problems and allergies. In the premises the mudtherapy is practiced (for arthritis), bath therapy (for osteoarthritis and skin disease) and respiratory therapies.
