Travel guide Marina di Ragusa
Where the Lemons Bloom
The climate here could not be more Mediterranean. Summers are hot and dry, winters mild and humid. Your holiday apartment or cheap holiday home in Marina di Ragusa in southern Sicily is in the sphere of influence of the hot winds from North Africa (Shirocco). The bathing temperatures of the Mediterranean rise in summer to almost 30 °C - perfect for a
beach holiday in the Ragusa region. For those who don't like the beach or for a refreshing dip in between, we recommend a
holiday with a pool in the Ragusa region. Hikers get their money's worth from autumn to spring. Even in winter, daytime temperatures rarely drop below 15 °C.
Food & Drink in Marina di Ragusa
Italy is a gourmet paradise, and Sicily is no exception. Sicilian cuisine is rich and varied, depending on the region and influence. Whether the cuisine of shepherds or fishermen, farmworkers or the old Sicilian nobility - all have their peculiarities and specialties. In the surroundings of your holiday apartment or private holiday home (or villa) with modern equipment in the best location in Marina di Ragusa, there are numerous restaurants where every palate will be satisfied. A small selection: marinated anchovies with fresh mint, pasta with ricotta filling, veal roulades, rabbit stew, pasta with sardines and wild fennel, black risotto with cuttlefish, etc., etc. The list could go on and on. A glass of Sicilian red wine from the local Nero D'Avola (the Black from
Avola) or Nerello grapes goes best with it. Due to the heat, a large carafe of water is always on the table - don't forget to drink! The meal remains exciting and delicious until dessert. Sicilians are true masters in the preparation of sweets. Try the candied orange peels of Sicily in the numerous good restaurants of the region. How about a sundowner with a view of the sea?
Beach Holiday at its Best
Turquoise blue sea, a radiant sky, and golden sand - how does that sound to you and your children? That's Marina di Ragusa. The resort is famous for its sandy beach. Water sports enthusiasts will find plenty to do here: swimming, surfing, diving, sailing, and stand-up paddling are on offer. In the evening, relax on the balcony of your holiday apartment or the terrace of your private house, of course with sea view, veranda, balcony, garden, air conditioning, and possibly right on the beach. A stroll along the lively promenade is also a must. Dogs are allowed in many holiday accommodations. Start from your accommodation for excursions for young and old in the nearby surroundings. Luxury lovers can also explore the marina. Take a trip to Ragusa Ibla as well.
Following the Traces of Millennia
Marina di Ragusa is a place to relax and enjoy a beach holiday. The sights of the municipality are located in the main town of Ragusa, 25 kilometers away. The late Baroque old town has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2002, along with the other cities of Val di Noto: Catania, Caltagirone, Militello in Val di Catania, Modica,
Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, and Scicli. A gorge divides the old town into upper and lower parts. The most magnificent Baroque buildings are in the lower town. In the somewhat sober upper town, however, is the Cathedral of San Giovanni Battista. Three bridges connect the two parts of the town. The oldest, the Ponte dei Cappuccini or Ponte Vecchio, dates from the 19th century. The stylistic features of the ornate Sicilian Baroque are cherubs and laughing faces, as well as curved facades and external staircases to the Piano nobile, the exclusive first floor. The archaeological sites of
Siracusa (about an hour and a half drive by car) date back to ancient times and should not be missed. The ancient Greek theater and the so-called "Ear of Dionysius," an artificial cave with extraordinary acoustics, are particularly worth seeing. Book a chicly furnished accommodation or a house according to your personal wishes directly on the beach or sea in beautiful Italy with a terrace or veranda, sea view, modern equipment, balcony, air conditioning, garden, parking, and in the best location now and enjoy a relaxing holiday. Your relaxed vacation in an idyllic setting can begin!
