If on a single trip you want to relax in great golden sandy beaches, have the possibility to visit many places of artistic and cultural interest and, above all, eat good food, Marina di Ragusa is definitely the perfect destination.
Marina di Ragusa is among the most beloved bathing sites in the south-western Sicily, highly appreciated for its fine and golden sandy beaches with shallow water, marvellous for children, and for its handsome seafront, full of nightclubs, bars and restaurants where in the evening you can do lovely walks or go for a drink in one of the many pubs located on the seafront.
During the entire summer period, from June to September, there are several events and shows but also festivals and parties that always rise a keen interest. The most important are the festival of Santa Maria di Portosalvo which takes place on August 15th, and the festival of the “Goodbye to the summer”, which generally occurs during the second weekend of September and that is famous for the pyrotechnics competition that takes place on Sunday night that each year amazes even more.
For Art and History lovers, Marina di Ragusa is a perfect support in order to eventually move and visit all the major Val di Noto’s tourist destinations and to make a tour of the main Baroque towns, which have constituted the film set of the famous Tv series “The Inspector Montalbano”.
Among the most popular destinations that you have absolutely to visit, there are the suggestive Ragusa Ibla, Modica and Scicli; but even the amazing Castle of Donnafugata and the lovely Punta Secca where the well-known house of the Inspector Montalbano is located.
For those who prefer the small villages, where you can revive even better the ancient Sicilian traditions, the recommended destinations are Chiaramonte Gulfi and Giarratana where, by the way, you can find many companies that produce many very high-quality typical local products, beginning with olive oil till preserves of any kind.
