A day out and about from our base at Quartarella. Firstly, the UNESCO listed Scicli village then down to the coast at Sampiere. Both short drives to the south of us
Scicli village, set in a gorge
Overview of the town
As with most Sicilian towns, the main attractions are the churches
Though there were other nice buildings
Maybe some not so nice
The lizards we happy in the heat, this a Sicilian wall lizard
But for us it
didn’t take long for the heat to take over though, and nothing like a Sicilian lemon granita as a refresher
We then drove to the beach at Sampieri
The local fishing boats provided some good photo opportunities, slid up ramps just above the waterline, or up the road in front of the houses
After several swims to escape the heat, it was time to visit the
gelateria on the beachfront
And head back to Quartarella...
...to the pool
Where we were visited by a huge black bee, which we assume was a carpenter bee
We drove back to Scicli for dinner at our hosts recommended Umara restaurant
Grilled Sicilian cheeses with a pear compote - the taste much better than the look
Stuffed sardines
Sicilian wines by the glass
Octopus on a broccoli mash
Deconstructed lemon millefoglie
The whole town quite a picture as we walked back to the car
