Location
Avola is a popular holiday destination for families and young people, thanks to its wide beaches with crystal clear sea and its historical centre – the Antico Borgo. This lively town has much to offer in terms of amenities, good restaurants and shops. Food is a major part of life in Avola and there are numerous festivals celebrating local delicacies. These vary from the festival for almonds, to wild boar to swordfish. An excellent excuse for a feast throughout the year. Every one enhanced by the famous red wine, Nero d’Avola, which takes its name from the town. There are many cantines (wine cellars) where visitors can try the different varieties and decide which to take home.

For people who want a day in the countryside, then a trip to the Cava Grande Canyon (a 30-minute drive) is a great option. Known as Sicily’s Grand Canyon, the canyon is up to 250m deep and at the bottom visitors can enjoy a swim in one of the many clear, natural pools. Catania’s international airport is a 1 hour drive from the apartment.
