The more you visit Sicily, the more you discover about the place – and the more you discover about the place, the more you want to go back to Sicily. There is just so much to do, provided of course you want to take things easy and go about life the Sicilian way.

Sicily’s sandy, rocky, pebble and private beaches have one thing in common – they are not crowded, which is a welcome change for most of us. Moreover, a nice fish restaurant is never far away, more often than not on the water’s edge.

Capture the charm of Sicily this summer and enjoy not just the beaches but also the cool evening breeze of the unbuilt Sicilian countryside, and a walk along a canyon or a mountain road. The Mediterranean’s largest island offers a myriad of possibilities, just waiting to be discovered.

Whatever and wherever your choice, you will always round off the day with an exquisite meal in a shady square, by the sea or in an agriturismo. Again, restaurants have one thing in common – they are all well priced and offer the best quality. Every region is always vying with the neighbouring region for the most authentic food offerings. Little wonder that you are already thinking of your next visit on your way back home.

A villaggio turistico can be an interesting option for a family summer holiday – all-inclusive with plenty to do for all age groups and a good, honest babysitting service. There are a number of villaggi turistici within very easy reach of Pozzallo, just minutes away from the catamaran.

If you don’t like budget holidays, you cannot do better than go to fashionable, upmarket, affluent Taormina – pure magic and despite the international aura, also pure Sicilian.
