casavacanzekastalia: 3 private holiday homes inside the Athena Resort (Inserted in the Alpitour - Club Lookéa circuit) Ragusa - Start of activity: 13 April to 28 September. The Athena Resort is located in Kamarina, in south-eastern Sicily, and is the only village within the "Riserva Naturale Orientata del Pino d'Aleppo" (Oriented Natural Reserve of the Aleppo Pine), in the area of the ancient Greek city, a short distance from the Kamarina archaeological site, one of the most important in Sicily. The village is located on a hill overlooking the sea between Scoglitti and Santa Croce Camerina. It is a purely summer village; tourist activities begin on 13 April and end on 28 September. From the end of September onwards, there is no functioning activity (swimming pool, bar, restaurant, beach lido, bazaar, newsagent's, tobacconist's, hotel, reception), there are only about 20 families living there all the time. Given the distance from the first town (Scoglitti - 4 km), a car is a must for getting around, shopping or anything else. The Athena Resort is located in the territory of Ragusa, in one of the municipalities of the Val di Noto (in 2002, it was included among the Italian sites of the UNESCO World Heritage List for its splendid late baroque cities, the eight baroque cities of the valley: Caltagirone, Militello in Val di Catania, Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo, Ragusa and Scicli). We are also ideally placed to visit the Greek city of Syracuse, Gela and Agrigento, the Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina, the local cuisine and fresh fish in Scoglitti (a fishing village), taste chocolate in Modica, visit the places of Commissioner Montalbano (Punta Secca km.14 Montalbano's House), the Donnafugata Castle only 8 km away, the Randello reserve only 4 km away (an equipped pine forest with free access to the golden sandy beach), the seafront of Scoglitti with several km of golden beaches where every afternoon (Monday to Friday) fishermen moor their boats at the small harbour and sell the day's catch by the box, or stay inside the Village to live in total relaxation in the midst of nature, taking advantage of the comforts of home and the facilities offered by the village. To sum up, ours is an area kissed by the sun and the sea, with a golden sandy coastline and child-friendly seabed.
