Summary

84% Informative

Quiet, undeveloped beaches can be found and more easily in southern Italy , Sardinia and Sicily .

One of our favourite areas is around Menfi just an hour and 20 minutes ’ drive south from Sicily ’s capital.

The fertile, sun-soaked land is known for olives, vines and vegetables, particularly the Slow Food -registered spiny artichoke.

At the start of this century , the Menfi area was in the early stages of a wine renaissance.

Its 7,000 hectares produce 40% of the labelled wine that Sicily exports around the world.

This year will see bigger than usual crowds at the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento .
