We always love collaborating with the media so we were delighted when travel writer Amanda Hyde sought our advice for an article in the Telegraph on where the adventurous holidaymaker is heading to in Sicily.
Time-short and eager to accept recommendations, so many of us fall into the trap of booking a holiday at an instantly recognisable destination. In Sicily, Taormina and Cefalù are the most familiar holiday spots for UK holidaymakers: in fact, Taormina has been on the tourist trail since the 19th century, renowned for its dramatic views and ancient sites. But there’s so much more to Sicily, particularly if you’re visiting for a second or third time and are keen to dive a little deeper into Sicilian culture.
Asked for his personal recommendations, Wish Sicily owner, Gioacchino Sortino suggested the area around Tindari, in the northeast of the island, where there are fewer tourists than elsewhere in Sicily and some stunning off-the-beaten track villages to explore. And with plenty of excellent beaches, the natural beauty of the Nebrodi mountains and a good helping of ancient history and architecture locally, there’s more than enough to do to fill a week or two. Choose from an extensive selection of luxury villas in Tindari such as Villa Dioscuri or Le Case di Tindari which offer breathtaking views, superb hospitality and great value for money compared with other more well-trodden parts of Italy.
