Sicily beckons the winner of the new word game series, which kicked off yesterday.

The silly season is perhaps the best time to mix and match in Sicily.

Pozzallo, the catamaran’s port of call, has an excellent beach, with the added advantage of a line-up of restaurants all over the town.

Marina di Ragusa, 30 minutes away by car, is doing its best to attract visitors and show off its new yacht marina. The lidos and restaurants on the beach are attractively priced.

Cefalù is worth a visit but one needs to be in Sicily for a few days to make it worthwhile.

One can mix and match this visit with an evening drive to the cool mountains, which aren’t far away. Sicily has it all: lazy mornings and evening mountain breezes, the odd visit to a historic World Heritage Site, bargain shopping and dining out.

Virtù Ferries also make a visit to Sicily easy. In an hour-and-a-half one reaches Pozzallo.

The six winning words of the last word game were confidant, gumshield, hairdryer, meditated, overdrive and lubricant.

The new game ends on June 18, with entries having to be submitted by June 24.
