If you, like us, crave more savage and unknown beaches, the provinces of Ragusa and Siracusa will surprise you with little gems. Discover here the most beautiful beaches of Sicily’s Oriental coast!

The small islands of Sicily

The Aeolian, the Egadi, the Pelagie islands with Lampedusa, and Pantelleria are the perfect destinations for a boat trip.

You will decide to admire their landscapes from the sea or to disembark and enjoy a peaceful and quiet day on their stunning seashores. There you will find uncountable bays, one different from the others. 

On Rabbit Island, which is very close to Lampedusa, you will feel like being in the Caribbean. Favignana, facing Trapani, is the biggest of the Egadi Islands. Get there by boat for an idyllic day on the Cala Rossa beach, among turquoise waters and tuff caves! 

Cities and small towns 

A stroll in the town alleys or a visit to the little borgos will complete your holidays in Sicily. 

Follow our advice and visit the wonders of Catania, Palermo and Trapani historical city centres. But most of all, enjoy a stroll on the Sicilian Baroque in the "Val di Noto" among Siracusa, Scicli, Ragusa and Modica. 

However, to plunge yourself into the true essence of Sicily, you must include the Sicilian borgos in your trip. Whether they are old fishermen’s villages, like Marzamemi or Puntasecca, or little inland towns, like Erice or Piazza Armerina. Here, the atmosphere you can breathe in the squares and the picturesque streets will fascinate you.

The Zingaro and the Vendicari Reserve are among the most famous natural wonders. In these oases, protected, savage beaches meet the turquoise sea full of sea species. 

However, the Sicilian inland holds surprises as well. Here you can find Alcantara Park, with its deep gorges, and Etna Park, where you can go for excursions on the volcano sides. 

The Madonie and the Nebrodi Mounts Parks are even more unspoiled. These two natural reserves will conquer the hearts of mountain trekking lovers.
