The website for a specialist travel company recently published an article containing a list of must-see locations for tourists renting villas in Sicily.

According to the article in question, for instance, Ragusa is one of the best places for renting villas in Sicily, as it houses the main Sicilian airport and can serve as an excellent home base from which to explore the region. The town also contains many interesting sights, with both its halves, Ragusa Ibla (the lower part and historic centre) and Ragusa Superiore (the higher part), boasting countless examples of stunning architecture (which have helped make the entire city a UNESCO World Heritage site).

Ragusa is also close to many of the region’s fantastic beaches — including one within the city itself – providing yet another argument in favour of tourists choosing it as the location for their rented villas in Sicily, especially during the summer months.

The piece then goes on to recommend visits to Sicilian spots such as Noto, a town built from the ruins of a 17th century settlement ravaged by an earthquake; Syracuse, with its Greek and Roman remains; and the Baroque architecture of Modica, which has somehow managed to stay intact through a number of natural disasters that have hit Sicily over the centuries.

The article also mentions that some of the towns it recommends as day-trips while visiting Sicily were used as sets for popular Italian TV show ‘Commisario Montalbano’. The show used locations in and around Ragusa, Noto and Scicli, making them additionally worth a look for tourists travelling in the area.

This region of Sicily was recently the subject of ‘Sicily Unpacked’, a television show presented by an Italian chef and a British art critic. The purpose of this show was to present viewers with the undiscovered side of Sicily, an objective the article considers it was able to achieve.
