From here until the southeasternmost tip of Sicily, the coastline is an uninterrupted stretch of sandy beach, dotted with picturesque little resort towns, including Punta Secca (Inspector Montalbano's home), Marina di Ragusa, Donnalucata, Cava d'Aliga, Sampieri and Marina di Modica. The last strip, made up of several miles of dunes, is where the Allied forces landed in the 2nd World War. At the southernmost tip of Sicily is Isola Delle Correnti, offering an almost African scenario. Indeed, here we are considerably further south than Tunis.Just around the southeastern tip and heading north up the east coast, are the beaches of Marzamemi, San Lorenzo and Vendicari Nature Reserve. The reserve's salt water lagoons and varieties of flora offer the ideal habitat for a wide range of fauna, including nesting turtles and migrating flamingos.Continuing up the east coast, between Vendicari and the historic Greek town of Syracuse, are the popular sandy beaches of Marina di Noto, Calabernado, Marina di Avola, Gelsomineto, Fontane Bianche and Arenella.

What stood out about Baia dei Turchi was the beautiful setting overlooking the sea. Every space had been created with love. We were so well looked after with delightful staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We loved it. Could we sum up our holiday? Tranquility that comes from looking out at the beautiful vista and a feeling of home and warmth.

SS September 2024

We had a wonderful family vacation at Baia dei Turchi. What stood out was the setting, the beautiful garden, the great layout, and the fantastic pool.

Bernhard Pleschko August 2024

We had an incredible vacation at Baia dei Turchi made possible by The Thinking Traveller. What stood out was the view and that the villa was comfortable for the entire family. We were fortunate enough to have a great chef prepare dinner for us twice - it was a highlight of our stay. I would not hesitate to recommend Thinking Traveller.

JC August 2024

Baia dei Turchi is the perfect place and we had a perfect time. We would return for the location over the cliff, the views, the well-maintained gardens and the pool area. It was very well furnished and with a complete kitchen.

JTA July 2024

Baia dei Turchi is a great place for a family gathering. We would return.

CTC July 2024

Baia dei Turchi was spectacular and perfectly appointed, provisioned and maintained. The view was breathtaking. The kitchen was fun and the pool, Turkish bath, sauna, hot tub and workout room were exceptional. And the staff were exceptional. They attended to everything, always pleased to help us at all hours. This was the best experience I have ever had at a home rental, the best among some world class experiences. Thank you.
