Over the past years it has become that discreet holidays destination for those who favor relax and comfort, along with experiences that allow you to connect with the nature’s gifts, over wilder and noisier party experiences that are offered on its more famous siblings Ibiza and Majorca.</p><p>AS any other touristic destination in the world, the Belearic Islands (which are composed of 7 major islands and many other minor ones) can be quite expensive for some tourist’s budgets, however, there are many things that may make your trip to this Spanish paradise more reachable (and less painful for your bank account)</p><p><strong> Keeping away from huge resorts</strong> is a good way to make your trip less expensive. Even though these locations tend to be in very favored places in terms of beauty and proximity to the ocean (al of them having their own private beaches and things as such), it is well known that these are the most expensive options that there are in any touristic locations and are better suit for those who don’t mind expending extra money. A careful research about the options on accommodations around the island will allow you to check-up on all the variety that the island has to offer to your budget; from cheap hostels in the middle of a city to those well equipped <a href="https://www.mnkvillas.com/en/">villas in Menorca</a>, the place you pick to stay will definitely be a major turning point on your budget.</p><p>Whenever you want to try out the local delicacies, <strong>keep away from the harbor</strong> and any of those restaurants. Of course, having a nice dish of seafood with a glass of local wine while looking at the sapphire colored crystal clear water sounds very nice, but that view comes with a price. Trying out smaller places that also have a very variated and delicious menu (as every place does in this island).</p><p><strong>Looking at seasonal discounts</strong> is also the best tip that a traveler can keep in mind. Of course that summer is the best time of the year to travel to the island, but it is not necessary to restraint yourself from enjoying the island’s beauty as it has its well known ever-lasting summer climate; even during winter, this island's weather and temperature is quite welcoming for tourists from all around the world.</p></div>8 Scintillating Spots in Sicilyhttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/8-scintillating-spots-sicily-italy2020-04-27T06:53:18.000Z2020-04-27T06:53:18.000ZBiswajit Rakshithttps://tripatini.com/members/BiswajitRakshit<div><p></p><h1 class="western"><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9009422890,original{{/staticFileLink}}" target="_blank"><img src="{{#staticFileLink}}9009422890,original{{/staticFileLink}}" class="align-full" alt="9009422890?profile=original" /></a></h1><p>Italy's largest island is in some ways like a world unto itself, packed with amazing, art, architecture, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sicily" target="_blank">history</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicilian_cuisine" target="_blank">cuisine</a>, mud baths, and of course lovely beaches bathed in turquoise waters. Sicily's magic has been shaped by civilizations including Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Spaniards, and Norman French, and it's all waiting for you. And though of course a wide variety of accommodation is available, one of the best ways to get the most enjoyment out of your visit is <a href="https://www.wishsicily.com/holiday-rentals/luxury-villas-in-sicily" target="_blank">luxury Sicily villa rental</a> in the hills or by the sea, where when not touring you can spread out and indulge, for example sipping a lovely glass of Nero d'Avola by the pool.<br /> <br /> And when you are touring, here are some of my favorite spots not to miss:<br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>Noto, Sicily's Capital of the Baroque</strong></span><br /> <br /> <br /> This town near the island's southern tip has a history stretching back to the Iron Age, and though several archaeological remain from that distant era as well as that of ancient Greek and early-medieval Byzantine periods, Noto is best known as the jewel of Sicilian Baroque, and declared part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site for that reason. Dubbed "the stone garden," it was rebuilt after a 1693 earthquake, and so its old quarter is essentially a living museum of the 17th and 18th century century, with landmarks such as its cathedral (finished in 1776), town hall, municipal theater, and dozens of fine <em>palazzi</em> and churches.</p><h1 class="western"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Modica & its Bittersweet Treasure<br /></span></h1><p><br /> This city in Sicily's southwestern Iblei Mountains also rebuilt in Baroque after the 1693 earthquake and shares UNESCO World Heritage status with Noto. Its other main claim to fame is its handmade dark chocolate, not overly sweet and more granular and textured than than any other in Europe because it was inspired by the Aztec recipe for <em>xocolatl</em>, transmitted to Sicily in the late 16th century while it was under the rule of Spain. Here you can find many artisinal dolcerie selling this delicacy, often infused with various appealing flavors.</p><h1 class="western"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Catania: Historic, Cultural - and a Fish-Lover's Paradise<br /></span></h1><p><br /> Sicily's second largest city shares Noto's and Modica's UNESCO World Heritage trove of Baroque gems, as well as ancient Roman sites and a distinguished cultural scene. But one thing that especially stands out for me is its bounty of fresh seafood, of which you can often catch a whiff in the air. La Pescheria, its open-air fish market, is staged every morning something like an affair that's half commerce, half theater. Huge heads of tuna and sharks rest on small wooden stalls while the fishmongers shout, hawking their products. The city is also full of fantastic seafood restaurants, and cooking classes are also on offer.</p><p></p><p><span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>Siracusa's Ancient Splendors</strong></span></p><p><br /> This ancient city on the southeastern coast is a bucket-list must for aficionados of classical antiquity; the ancient Roman philosopher Cicero described it as the greatest and most beautiful city of Ancient Greece. Siracusa's UNESCO World Heritage historic center is located on Ortygia, which is packed with ancient Greek and Roman monuments including temples and amphitheaters, as well as many historic monuments of later periods. La Piazza del Duomo, with its impressive palaces and paved with shiny stone slabs worn by millions of steps, looks like a stage set. When the sun goes down, <em>siracusani</em> engage in their beloved evening <i>passeggiata</i>, with families, friends, and lovers thronging the seaside promenade.</p><h1 class="western"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Mondello, Palermo's Beach Oasis<br /></span></h1><p><br /> Sicily is a wonderland for beach lovers, and on the outskirts of its capital, this onetime fishing village is a local favorite filled with Art Nouveau architecture, a fashionable beach resort for well over a century - especially in summer when temperatures hit 40° Celsius (104°F) and many <em>palermitani</em> escape their chaotic city and descend en masse onto the soft powdery sand and crystalline turquoise waters. It can get packed for sure, but toward the ends you can still find stretches of splendid <em>spaggia</em> that are less crowded. <br /> <br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:12pt;"><strong>San Vito Lo Capo's Less Crowded Beach Paradise</strong></span></p><p><br /> If you really want to avoid some of the crowds, head two hours west of Palermo, where across the Gulf of Castellammare on Sicily's northwest corner the colorful, flower-bedecked town of San Vito lo Capo, whose gorgeous three-kilometer crescent beach is considered by many to be the island's loveliest - its limpid waters sometimes compared to the Caribbean. The gulf's shallow depth here is perfect for small children, and you can find private stretches of beach (meaning you pay to rent beach chairs and umbrellas) that are less packed than the free stretches. </p><h1 class="western"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Mount Etna & Mount Stromboli: Sicily With a Bang<br /></span></h1><p>There aren't many places in the world where you can witness volcano eruptions, but Sicily's two active volcanoes periodically put on a show. From the northwest coast, you can spot offshore Stromboli's <i>Sciara del Fuoco</i>, the slope over which, when there are eruptions, the lava slides to the sea. This volcano is only 40,000 years old - a baby in geological terms - and Its tender age means it's one of the few in the world that registers constant activity. When approached by sea, it appears on the horizon as a drawing of a primary school pupil: perfectly conical and with a thin cloud of smoke coming out of the crater. Before nightfall and with enough time to observe the sunset from the summit (at 900 meters high), groups with flashlights and trekking boots to see the explosions that, at 27-minute intervals, take place every day. Tours up to Etna, looming over Catania, are also available; there's even a cable car to take visitors part of the way up.</p><p></p><p></p><p></p></div>Find your private paradise at this new Costa Rica vacation homehttps://tripatini.com/profiles/blogs/find-your-private-paradise-at-this-new-costa-rica-vacation-home2015-04-01T00:18:50.000Z2015-04-01T00:18:50.000ZShannon Farleyhttps://tripatini.com/members/ShannonFarley<div><p><b><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}9296596654,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img width="600" class="align-center" src="{{#staticFileLink}}9296596654,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="9296596654?profile=original" /></a>Time to get away from it all</b>, but you want <b>something different</b> than the usual packed beaches and crowded hotels?

Such accommodation is cheaper than standard travel hotels and resorts and are thus enjoy a new-found popularity, especially with those traveling on a budget (which is now a case for a lot of people).</p><p> </p><p>It is indeed true self catering accommodation offers several great advantages, which include:</p><ul><li>cheaper rates</li><li>usually more intimate accommodation (great if you're looking for a romantic vacation)</li><li>more flexible schedules</li><li>rooms are equipped with refrigerators and small kitchenettes</li></ul><p>In fact, some country, such as the Seychelles and Rodrigues, have seen more and more tourists directly opting for such <a href="http://www.lavilla-seychelles.com/?tid=7&lang=2" target="_blank">location appartement Seychelles</a> packages. The Seychelles islands' luxury accommodations are particularly expensive and there is no surprise that people are looking into these more.</p><p> </p><p>When selecting a self catering accommodation, it is important to take the following into consideration:</p><ul><li>the location of the guesthouse or villa; you ideally want something that is not too far from the beach</li><li>amenities and facilities offered; some self catering lodges offer great facilities bundled in great deals</li><li>whether or not they offer meals. Self catering villas, such as a typical <a href="http://www.lavilla-seychelles.com/?tid=5&lang=1" target="_blank">Seychelles guesthouse</a>, often have the option to provide meals, but these can be very expensive.
