We should first say that Leonardo's home in Triscina was just perfect. Great space inside and outside, our routine was to cook and sleep inside, but spend most of our time enjoying the outside patios. The house has all the amenities of modern life and was presented to us spotlessly clean. It is a 150m walk to a quiet beach, with shallow and safe bathing. There are areas with life guards, if you walk east of west from the bottom of the street. The area around the house is quiet, with a mixture of family homes and holiday homes. Triscina has a long "main" street, with dozens of side streets leading down to the beach. Leonardo's place is at the quieter end of the village. If you head east, you will find a number of bars and pizzerias. Try the Gelateria at the top of the street. Excellent taste and value. Try the pasticceria for fresh breads and pastries in the morning.
For days out, we can highly recommend Selinunte, just 18km by car from the house. Selinunte has it's famous archeological sites of Greek temples and the local seaside village (Marinella di Selinunte) has lots of great sea food restaurants and bars.
But, if you simply decide to do a big supermarket shop and stay for your holiday in Triscina, laying on the beach all day, with a cool beer waiting for you in the fridge, you will not be disappointed.
