Holidays in Lentini

If you're eager to discover the hidden side of Sicily, holidays in Lentini are made to measure. This charming agricultural village stands in the island's south-eastern corner and lets you experience everyday life the way the locals do.

An easy drive from the eastern coast, Lentini lies inland from Catania, on gentle foothills swathed in vineyards and orchards. One of Sicily's oldest Greek settlements, it was destroyed by an earthquake in the Middle Ages, and today, only a medieval castle recalls its beginnings. Otherwise, within its pretty centre, you'll find an atmospheric church and archeological museum, shops, and numerous welcoming pizzerias and trattorias ready to dish up mouth-watering Sicilian fare.

The other thing about holidays in Lentini is that you're perfectly placed to explore. Along with bustling Catania, the Baroque jewel of Noto is close by, whilst day trips to Taormina, Siracusa, Mount Etna and the east coast's beaches are a doddle. Bird watchers will also love observing the exotic species that frequent the nearby lake.

And in terms of where to stay, Thomson's peaceful Casa Dello Scirocco outside of town is just the ticket, particularly for couples. So how about it? Whether you're planning a summer break or want to grab a late bargain holiday in rural Sicily – Lentini is the real deal.
