Things to see

Explore the area

Discover the best attractions and hidden gems around Sicily. Considering that the public transport is not the best in Sicily, most of the places are reachable by car. We have a lot more recommendations, just hit us up!

Must-see

Savoca

Beautiful historic town with cobblestone streets and traditional architecture. Also a place where The Godfather was filmed.

Directions →
Chill on the sea

Giardini Naxos Beach

Giardini Naxos: where ancient Greeks landed 2,700 years ago and, judging by the beach, never really felt like leaving — soft sand, glass-clear water, and zero regrets. Bring your sunscreen, leave your worries, and maybe don't found a colony while you're there.

Directions →
City & nature

Taormina and Isola Bella

Just up the coast, Isola Bella sits like a tiny green jewel dropped in impossibly blue water, connected to the mainland by a sandbar you can practically wade across (no boat-founding skills required, unlike our Naxos friends). Climb the hill above it and you hit Taormina, all cliffside views, an ancient Greek theater, and streets so charming you'll want to cancel your flight home and just move in.

Directions →
Another great city

Ortigia and Syracuse

Something the tourists usually miss. A personal favourite — you'll thank us later.

Directions →
Everybody will love it

Etna

The best you can see from famous volcano. Don´t expect scenes from a movie.

Directions →
Palermo side

Cefalù

A charming coastal town with a beautiful beach, historic center, and excellent seafood.

Directions →
Sicilian Partenon

Valle di Templi

One of the most impressive archaeological sites in Sicily, featuring well-preserved Greek temples.

Directions →
Small town on the seaside

Marzamemi

A picturesque town with a stunning beach, historic architecture, and a relaxed atmosphere.
