My wife and I are in our mid 60s and will shortly be able to retire. Ww have been to Rome and Venice a couple of times but want a little more adventure. We are thinking of spending the entire month of June next year in Sicily. And we are thinking that our daughter and 10 year old grandchild might be able to go with us. Neither of them have traveled overseas.
We are travelers that enjoy staying in one place and really getting to know a city or town. Ideally we would like to rent an Airbnb for the month. That being said we would like to be able to travel around the island some so we will have a car. My grandchild loves beaches so we’d like to be able to travel only a short distance to a great sandy - ideally not crowded beach. And still be located where we can get great food and have a great time experiencing the history, culture, art, people, markets, etc of the island. My grandchild loves to travel and I want to feed this interest. She is interested in art so being able to satisfy that desire would be a big bonus. We could stay in a big or small town. Or a rural area. We don’t have to have to “do something” every day. So…am I asking too much? Too little? We’re open to ideas and have plenty of time to research further. So please help me with ideas on where to start our planning. For instance suggestions on a home base, cultural experiences, etc would be great.
