The Area
Cala Due sits on the seafront about 4km outside the beautiful baroque town of Avola, whose shops, restaurants, cafés and other amenities are a 15-minute drive away (due to an obligatory right turn at the end of the access road to Cala Due, the drive takes a little longer than the actual distance would indicate). The old town centre of Avola, with its network of pretty streets, fine aristocratic palazzi and impressive churches, is well worth exploring.
Apart from the beach accessed via a 2-minute stroll from the bottom of the garden, there are many other beautiful stretches of sand to explore in the area, including those at Gallina, Oasi Gelsomineto and Fontane Bianche (all within a 5-to-10-minute drive. South of Avola, meanwhile, are the unspoilt beaches of Vendicari Nature Reserve, a favourite spot for migrating flamingos, and nesting sea turtles.
Not to be missed by anyone staying at Cala Due is the splendid masterpiece of Noto, arguably the most perfect of the baroque towns that constitute the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Val di Noto. Rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693, these towns, which include Modica, Ragusa and Scicli, offer infinite opportunities for those who admire architectural and artistic beauty.
If hiking in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery in the rushing streams and waterfalls of Cassibile and at the Paleolithic burial sites in the dramatic valley of, Pantalica.
Last, but certainly not least, is glorious, historic Syracuse, which is just half an hour's drive away. A day or two spent there, discovering its ancient Greek archaeological site and its enchanting island centre, Ortigia, is highly recommended.
