Santa Teresa di Riva, a low cost holiday in Sicily starting from Catania airport, many interesting ideas to experience the best of the Sicilian land.
Today I'm going to tell you about one of the best summer holidays I've ever taken. A low cost holiday, accessible to all, in Sicily. Precisely a Santa Teresa di Riva (Myself). Let's say that among all the Sicilian places, this town is not one of the best known, but I assure you that you will not be disappointed. But let's start from the beginning.
From Catania airport, it is about an hour by train but, if you have the possibility, I suggest you rent a car to get around freely. For a low cost holiday, rent an apartment near the sea. After replenishing the pantry thanks to the cheap supermarkets you will find in the city, spend the first day relaxing by the sea. At midday you will hear the “Ave Maria” ringing all the way to the beach. In the evening, treat yourself to a dinner in one of the many restaurants along the coast, there is plenty of good food!
Arancini, fish, everything and more. The next day, when you wake up, it is a must to have breakfast at the bar, with granita and brioche. I guarantee you that you will start the day in the best way. If you don't want to go to the beach you will have many other things to do, such as getting in the car and going to Savoca, One of the most beautiful villages in Italy, perched on a rocky hill, surrounded by citrus groves, vineyards and olive groves. Here it almost seems that time has stopped; Savoca is known above all thanks to the film "The GodfatherIn fact, the number one tourist attraction is the Vitelli bar, at the entrance to the town, where Michael Corleone comes in for a drink. The bar, still functioning, has half turned into a museum. After another day, what do I recommend you do? Dine on the beach, in one of the beaches that best suits you, by candlelight and with background music. Then if you are lucky, you can catch some very suggestive procession to see.
Not very far from Santa Teresa it stands Taormina. It goes without saying that it is a must to visit it. Spend the morning in the city center, admire the fantastic panorama that the square offers you IX April with l 'Etna in the background, visit the Greek theater and then take the cable car that will take you up to Beautiful island. Here you can spend a fantastic afternoon at sea, including boat trips, diving and aperitifs on the beach. In the evening, instead, get back in the car in the direction of Castelmola. This village is a real panoramic terrace above Taormina: a breathtaking view that includes a large part of the Ionian coast, the Gulf of Giardini Naxos, Capo S. Alessio, the Strait of Messina and the Calabrian coasts. Then end the night in one of the many famous places in Taormina, even if there is very little cheap.
But in Sicily there is also no lack of low-cost entertainment, and for this reason I would return to Santa Teresa di Riva. On the seafront of this town you will find the MammaMia Beach, a place on the beach that in addition to offering excellent cocktails, will guarantee you maximum fun thanks to the various evenings and numerous events that the MammaMia staff organizes every summer. You can have fun dancing under the stars of the "Italian Monday", participate in foam parties, quizzettoni, karaoke. You will enjoy the music of high-caliber DJs thanks to the collaboration with the m2o radio. In short, there is everything. Both for adults and children.
But the thing that will make your holiday truly unforgettable will be the company. Go with a group of friends willing to do anything with you. You know local people to spend your days with and I assure you that they will become extraordinary friends, despite the distance that will separate you. Finally, if you manage to end your holiday admiring the sunrise from some point higher than the city, with the whole coast at your feet, accompanied by a bottle of wine and the right company, I assure you that you will never want to go again. Street.
