People travel the world for different reasons. Some travel for fun, some to unwind, and some to explore. The Italian country is, for sure, an excellent fit for all of those reasons plus more. But just like any other journey, you need to do a bit of research, check out some sites, visit parks and make an itinerary for your trip step by step. The places to be mentioned in this piece are one of the best scenes you must visit this summer.
1. Scopello
In the bright season of summer, when everyone heads for the beach, Scopello Sicily should be destination number one. This peaceful location is home to a plethora of hotels, villas, and beaches, each offering the tourists and the natives’ adventure, peace, and tranquility. On the west side, there is the wine country, the giant Etna Volcano in-between, and the medieval villages of the southeast.
Additionally, if coral reefs and gigantic rock formations are your cup of tea, then the Faraglioni neighborhood is the destination for you. As a matter of fact, the very name ‘Faraglioni’ means stacks of coastal rocks eroded off with oceanic water. Here, you can take a hiking or boating excursion over and under the stones, which is quite fascinating. A view on any of these sceneries will, without a doubt, take your breathe away.
2. Menfi
The Menfi town in Sicily is humbly adorned with rolling hills beautifully carpeted with vineyards. So much so, it is rather obvious to say that the town’s main job is wine-making. And this is reason enough that you should head there to taste one of the finest wines in the world paired with the best Italian cuisines. Additionally, Menfi’s shoreline is a paradise to beach-lovers with its fair share of sand dunes, white sands, and translucent waters, making its way to the land.
Still in Menfi, those with a hunger for cultural stimulation, could visit the Selinunte Archaeological Park. The park is very rich in classical Mediterranean history, taking you through a time capsule of what transpired and the reasons why some things happen the way they do today. The park has quite a lot of scenes to take in, including one of the oldest temple ruins in the world. It is both perfect for learning and having fun for you and your family.
3. Syracuse
Syracuse town is yet another location in Sicily, which is known for the ruins it posses.
