Letojanni Holidays
Holidays in Letojanni are classic beach breaks … Sicilian style. Befitting its position on Sicily's sun-baked eastern coast, this lovely resort measures up nicely for those wonderfully easy-going sun-and-sand holidays.
Although the town is an attractive mix of old and new which radiates out from a palm-shaded church piazza, the beach takes the prizes. Blessed with pale sands and glittering seas, it's paradise for sun- loving couples and fun-loving families. Unfurl your towels, relax and play - it's what Letojanni holidays are truly all about.
If you can tear yourself away, there's a nice line in other amusements. Along the prom, cheerful trattorias offer Sicilian specialities whilst colourful shops sate your souvenir-hunting instincts. And holiday evenings in Letojanni are laid-back, spent idling over supper around the waterfront or piazza. If you ever fancy upping the pace - by day or night - the bright lights and attractions of Taormina and Giardini Naxos are also easily accessible.
As if all this wasn't enough, there are some fantastic holiday options that let you in on Letojanni's magic. For instance, choose the popular Antares Hotel near the beach and you'll be in for one mega family holiday. And with lots more deals and last-minute getaways to offer, we'll make holidays in Letojanni really hot stuff, whenever in summer you want to be here.
Close to Taormina, but without the jet-set flurry of Sicily's Monte Carlo, Letojanni is a friendly, relaxed resort with lashings of scenic beauty.
If you want the spectacular scenery of Sicily's east coast, without the hustle and bustle of Taormina, Letojanni's the answer. Once a small fishing village, it's now a peaceful resort with an authentic Sicilian charm. Plus a wide, fine-shingle beach backed by a prom and a picturesque harbour packed with colourful fishing boats to boot. Stroll around the delightful old town and you'll see some interesting ancient buildings, including the neo-Gothic Church of San Giuseppe housing works of art. Despite the relaxed atmosphere here though, it's by no means a backwater, so you won't be strapped for shops, gasping for bars or hungry for eateries. That being said, if you're seriously into late night partying you're sure to be less than satisfied. Geared towards the family market, Letojanni doesn't cater for clubbers, and you'll have to get your sizzle from a home-cooked meal in a trattoria and a few drinks in a bar, rather than the electrifying techno vibe of a heaving nightspot. With good public transport services, getting out and about from Letojanni is easy. Regular buses run to Taormina, just three miles away, where you can enjoy the chic, Cote d'Azur atmosphere and the jaw-droppingly beautiful views along the coast to Mount Etna from the ancient Greco-Roman amphitheatre. Or if you prefer to ride the rails, trains run to most places along the coast, including the resort of Giardini Naxos and Sicily's 'second city' Catania, an historic metropolis almost destroyed by the wrath of its 'neighbour from Hell', Etna, in 1669.
