I'm 29 going to sicily in aug'07.?

Question

I will be there for 3 weeks. One week w/ family and the rest traveling around. Any suggestions on nightclubs? also looking for a beach resort that is fun and young. Looking more for a party atmosphere. Thank for any help.

Answer 1

You are going to the wrong place for nightclubs

but Sicily is fabulous and an evening spent say in taormina is like 1 big social club until the early hours but civilised

Answer 2

I guess the only suggestion I can make is...stay out of the nightclubs.  Why on Earth would you travel to Sicily to do what you could do wherever you now reside?

Sicily has far more to offer than nightclubs that are a dime a dozen and found all around the world.  Take advantage of what's unique and wonderful about Sicily...and that's not their nightclubs.

Taoromina is the best bet.  In August, it'll be filled with European tourists, mostly college aged, looking for a fun time on the expansive sandy and rocky (your pick) beaches there.

Taoromina may be the most beautiful village in the world.  Orange trees, bougainvillea, cobble stone streets, Mt. Etna (still fuming), Greek amphitheater, beaches, cliffs and pounding surf, fantastic restaurants,...all make for a great fun place to visit.

Answer 3

well not really nightclubs but places you will remember for the rest of your life if you go there.

VILLA MELIGUNIS, Lipari

The largest of the volcanic Aeolian Islands, Lipari rates high on fashion’s Richter scale. A few minutes’ walk from the bijou port, Villa Meligunis is an 18th-century baronial manor with sleekly designed rooms and a rooftop terrace, home to a summer restaurant and a pool.

Beaches

The Best Beaches

Mondello Lido (Mondello): This is where the citizens of Palermo flock on summer days to escape the stifling heat of the capital city. In Sicily, Mondello Lido is outclassed in fashion only by the beaches at the foot of Taormina. Its wide, sandy beaches extend for 2km (1 1/4 miles) from Monte Pellegrino to Monte Gallo.

Mortelle: The best sands in northeast Sicily are found at the resort of Mortelle, which is where the Messinese themselves go to escape the scalding heat in their capital. The resort lies 12km (7 1/2 miles) north of Messina at the northeast tip of the island. The area is filled with good sandy beaches, so you can take your pick. The best-accessorized strip is Lido dei Tirreno.

Spiaggia Sabbie Nere (Vulcano): Completely off the beaten trail, "Black Sands Beach" is the finest in the Aeolian archipelago -- that is, once you get over the fact that its sands are black and not powdery white. Beaching it here is something to tell the folks back home.

Lido Mazzarò (Taormina): The best-equipped beach in Sicily, Lido Mazzarò is also one of the finest, a favorite sea-bordering strip of sand and gravel once frequented by the stars of Hollywood's Golden Age and still as interesting as ever. A 15-minute cable-car ride down from the medieval town of Taormina, the beach is a hot spot from April to October. Bars and restaurants border the sands.

Giardini-Naxos: Situated on the waterfront near Taormina, Giardini-Naxos is one of the most sophisticated seaside resorts of Sicily. The sandy beach, one of the island's best, lies between Capo Taormina in the northwest and Capo Schisò in the south. It may lack Taormina's medieval charm, but it's filled with good hotels, fine swimming, and excellent restaurants.

Marina di Ragusa: Southeastern Sicily has a number of beaches, some of them quite tacky, but Marina di Ragusa is the best of the lot. This is quite an appealing area, and if Ragusa is too hot in summer, you might drop anchor at a hotel here and visit the ancient city on a day trip. The resort also has the best ice-cream bars, pubs, and watersports in the area.
