Santa Tecla is a delightful seaside village, a popular tourist destination for locals, where you can find delicious restaurants and pizzerias. During the day, everyone flocks to the lava rock cliffs at the beginning of the town, where there is a beach equipped with a private lido and a public solarium with free access, also suitable for the disabled. In the evening, people gather in the main square or stroll through the center. There are not many shops, but 2 km away is Acireale, a beautiful city to visit in the afternoon or evening, with its majestic churches and Baroque architecture that frames the entire historic center. From here, you can easily reach the most beautiful tourist destinations in Sicily, such as Mount Etna, the Cyclops Coast, or the beautiful Taormina, just a 30-minute drive away. It is definitely the best choice for those looking for tranquility but without giving up visits to touristy and crowded places. It is recommended to have a rental car, for a definitely entertaining vacation.
