If you dream a seafront holiday home in Sicily you must first know which are the most beautiful coasts!
It is not easy to choose among the countless beaches with different characteristics. It is necessary to mention the spectacular Scala dei Turchi. One of a kind, it is a very white cliff overlooking the sea which is located in the Realmonte area and which today has become one of the most photographed on the island.
In Sicily you will find both beaches of fine and clear sand like those of Mondello, Cefalù and Giardini di Naxos, both wilder coves as instead Calamosche, Punta Bianca and la Spiaggia dei Francesi. You can choose between strips of volcanic sand or picturesque sea cliffs: whatever your preference, you will find the perfect vacation rental on Isliday.com.
Untouched nature
Those who think of Sicily only as a destination for diving and diving don't really know what they are missing!
Nature on this island reigns supreme starting from her, the queen of volcanoes, Etna: the highest active volcano in Europe. Numerous treks start from here, reaching the summit of this marvel of nature: suitable for beginners and experts, they are one of the things to do absolutely in the Catanese area.
Also put on your list an excursion to the caves of Tiberius, a truly suggestive geological site near the beautiful Cefalù, crossed by the river Pollina.
If you love this kind of adventures we advise you to choose a holiday accommodation in the area of San Vito lo Capo, where the Zingaro Nature Reserve is located. Rich in paths overlooking the sea, from the coastal path to the highest one, the Reserve offers a splendid panorama surrounded by nature.
