Gaggi holidays are top of their class when it comes to switch-off settings. A couple of nearby towns turn up the tempo.
Peaceful breaks and city escapes
Holidays to Gaggi can be just about as different as a half-and-half pizza. On one side you’ve got a place that’s perfect for powering off and catching up on some well-earned R&R. And, on the other hand you’re so close to some of Sicily’s star sights, that big days out are a must. It’s plotted in the north-east region of Messina, which puts coastal towns like Taormina, and Giardini Naxos into easy driving distance.
Call in at Catania
Catania’s the island’s second largest city, and it’s landed in a spot right at the foot of the super-sized Mount Etna. Day trips here are a breeze, with a door-to-door car journey time that’s well under an hour. Be sure to pack your swimmers, as its main stretch of beach is fronted by a stretch of medal-gold sand. Things are just as good looking inland, Duomo Square marks the city’s central spot. It’s where you’ll find Catania’s Baroque-style cathedral – this thing has got stop-and-stare written all over it.
