Agriturismo Galea is located in Riposto, on the eastern coast of Sicily, positioned advantageously between the Ionian Sea and the slopes of Mount Etna. This stretch of coastline, known for its pebble beaches and crystal-clear waters, is perfect for those who wish to combine beach days with nature and cultural excursions. Strolling through the fishing village, visitors can discover the charming marina, the seafront featuring the 16th-century Torre Modò, the Basilica of San Pietro with its 19th-century organ, and the historic villas that reflect the area's noble past.

The proximity to Mount Etna offers unique experiences such as trekking on the craters, jeep excursions, and quad or e-bike tours, along with tastings at wineries that produce famous volcanic wines. Just a few kilometers away are the Alcantara Gorges, a natural canyon with impressive basalt walls, ideal for activities like river trekking and canyoning.

Riposto serves as an excellent base for exploring the artistic cities and historic villages of eastern Sicily. In less than an hour, one can reach Taormina with its Greek theatre and panoramic terraces; Catania, known for its Baroque architecture and vibrant nightlife; and Syracuse and Noto, famous for their historical and architectural heritage. Beach lovers can explore the Ionian coastline, from Giardini Naxos to Fondachello, all the way to the Vendicari Nature Reserve.

The area is also renowned for its culinary experiences, with local markets, traditional trattorias, and tasting tours through citrus groves, olive orchards, and vineyards, allowing visitors to discover the authenticity of Sicilian flavors.
