Experiencing more Sicily

Having discovered Bagheria and Santa Flavia?

Would you like to see more of Sicily now?
But preferably without a car?

Then simply take a look at our overview map on Google Maps, to dicover more well-hidden gems nearby.

More for holiday makers and expats

More Sicily? You only see a chain of settlements along the blue line on our overview map (Google Maps)?

That's right - Google Maps has hidden our gems very well. The following pages will tell you where they are.

Because life is still lived very locally, you will never be far from a butcher, a baker and a candlestick maker. Plus a bar or restaurant for refreshment.

This is perfect for all pearl hunters who are travelling by bike.

There's always something going on somewhere - and if you're looking for peace and quiet, you'll find it just a few kilometres away.

Speaking of peace and quiet. In the settlements between the town centres, there are always houses with gardens on offer. This is perfect for expats who are drawn to the countryside.

Excursions in the surrounding area

Bagheria and Santa Flavia are the perfect base camps for excursions in the surrounding area. An e-bike is the ideal means of transport for this. For example, you can travel effortlessly to:

Sizilien konzentriert - Casteldaccia - Strand Fondachello

Casteldaccia

"More Sicily" is offered in Casteldaccia by a boat hire company.

Here you can hire a boat up to 40 hp without a licence and discover Sicily from the sea.

This gem is hidden in the truest sense of the word: Mediterranean greenery pleasantly separates it from the main road.

Sizilien konzentriert - Altavilla Milicia - Belvedere

Altavilla Milicia

The Pizzo Cane nature reserve offers "more Sicily" in Altavilla Milicia. This hidden gem stands for nature, fresh air and, above all, tranquillity.

Are you looking for the colourful hustle and bustle? Then simply sit down in the bar on the Belvedere of Altavilla Milicia on Sundays when people go to church.

Sizilien konzentriert - San Nicola l'Arena

San Nicola l'Arena

In San Nicola l'Arena the marina clearly offers "more Sicily".

It is larger than the village itself but is a hidden gem in the truest sense of the word.

Because if you drive through the village "just like that" on the country road, you will never realise that one of the largest marinas in Sicily is hidden behind the houses.
