Here you can go to the beach by bicycle or even on horseback and visit one of the most beautiful Nature Reserves (Vendicari)in south-western Sicily where rare species of migratory birds nest at certain times of the year making it an ideal spot for bird-watching enthusiasts. Other marvellous beaches and the famous cities of Baroque (Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Noto, Scicli, Palzzolo Acreide and Ispica) which are classified together as a UNESCO world heritage site are all located within a few kilometres. It you have a little more time to spare there is no shortage of places to visit such as the Etna National Park, beautiful Taormina with its Greek theatre, the Cava Grande gorges of the Cassibile river and the other wonders to be found in this heavenly corner of Sicily.
