Holiday location
Local Area
Letojanni is a small town set on the east coast of Sicily between Messina and Catania. It has a long sand and pebble beach and a range of local restaurants, shops, and bars in the town. You can sit at one of the typical cafes along the seafront and watch the world go by over a ‘granita’. Or perhaps you might try ‘panzerotti’, a type of savoury fried pizza that’s from this region that makes a filling lunchtime snack. A trip to nearby Taormina is well worth it. It’s the oldest resort in Sicily and remains popular for its chic boutiques and cafes serving coffee and pastries.
Optional excursions
Optional excursions can only be booked in resort and are subject to minimum numbers
Syracuse
We’ll enjoy a full day’s excursion as we travel to Syracuse, one of Sicily’s most fascinating archaeological locations. It’s here we’ll learn more about the island’s importance to the Greek and Roman empires as we experience ancient amphitheatres, catacomb filled caves and huge sacrificial altars. After visiting the Archaeological Park and the limestone-carved Ear of Dionysius, we’ll head to the historic Old Town of Ortigia Island where marbled piazzas, alfresco cafés and Syracuse cathedral create a charming setting overlooking the Ionian.
