Multi Centre Holidays
Just a few kilometres from Taormina is Giardini Naxos, a charming corner of Sicily that has grown from a sleepy fishing village to a thriving seaside resort. And while it is a popular holiday destination with Italians and tourists alike, it has lost none of its traditional, laid-back lifestyle and culture.
The long sand-and-pebble beach is divided into a free area where you can hire sunbeds, parasols and pedalos, and a lido part which you pay to use. There's also a man-made beach in the Recanati district where you can enjoy a wide range of watersports. In Summer the seafront comes alive with entertainment that gives you an insight into Sicilian culture, including the Naxos folk group performing in traditional costume, and the Opera dei Pupi, a famous puppet show, which is a treat for all ages.
You'll find lots of smart shops and boutiques in the old town, while the prom is lined with bars that come alive at night, and the harbour is the place to head to for great cafés and seafood restaurants. There are also lovely pizzerias and trattorias throughout the town. On Saturdays you can explore the lively local market of Recanati, selling souvenirs, clothes, shoes and local produce. This area also has lots of family appeal, with its funfair and open-air discos.
Topflight Recommends
- Simply laze and luxuriate on the stellar beaches of Giardini Naxos.
