Wide stretches of sand at Salinelle, Gorgo Lungo, and Piletto form the coastline of Lascari, a small Sicilian municipality set on a modest hill 70 metres above sea level. Located 50 kilometres east of Palermo, the town covers just over 10 square kilometres near neighbouring Cefalù.
Home to 3,500 residents, Lascari borders Campofelice di Roccella, Collesano, and Gratteri. Its position along the northern Tyrrhenian coast provides straightforward access to both the seaside and the surrounding foothills.
