let me present you Avola, in Sicily, an ancient city nested between Ionian sea and Ibleo mountains. You will find warm, fine sandy beaches on one side and the smells and cool air of Ibleo mountains surrounding it on the other.
Destroyed by the earthquake of 1693, the town was rebuilt in late Baroque style tending to liberty.

the
city, if you see it from above, looks like a hexagonal cell.
Located along one of the most ancient Greek roads in Sicily, Via Elorina, the city is a gate for the
area
extraordinary receptacle of cultural and natural resources. You can visit the nearby baroque city of Noto,
the
Greek chief town of Syracuse and two
stunning natural reserves such as Vendicari (just next to Noto) and the natural reserve of Cavagrande del
Cassibile. Avola is famous all over the world for its “perfectly oval” almonds (called Pizzuta), as Leonardo Sciascia wrote, and for Nero d'Avola, from the namesake vineyard.
