The Area
Sole di Vaddeddi is situated just a couple of kilometres as the crow flies to the west of Vendicari Nature Reserve, renowned for its fabulous array of sandy beaches, and its unspoilt coastal habitat. There are no lidos or bars on the beaches of the reserve so you should take your own supplies/facilities with you).
Other gorgeous sandy beaches nearby include those of San Lorenzo and Marzamemi, which are around 15 minutes drive away. Both have facilities.
The nearest major town, fascinating, gorgeous Noto (15mins drive), is the most easterly of a chain of baroque towns (protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site), that includes Modica, Ragusa and Scicli. All were rebuilt in flamboyant style following a major earthquake in 1693 and are certainly worth a visit.
Just south of Vendicari is the pretty little fishing village of Marzamemi, which is a great spot for an evening stroll and a seafront dinner. Quiet and unassuming for most of the year, it comes to life in the summer months with bars and restaurants spilling out onto the lovely square and narrow streets. A little beyond this is Portopalo di Capo Passero, Sicily's southeasternmost point.
A stay in this part of Sicily, however, wouldn't be complete without a visit to Syracuse, once the mightiest city in Magna Graecia, and one of Italy's most lovely historic centres.
If hiking or horse riding in the hills is your thing, then there is some spectacular scenery in the rushing streams, waterfalls and gorges of Cassibile and Pantalica, a Paleolithic burial site near Syracuse.
