Sperlinga is quite an interesting village and all villages around are incredible. Worth the shot if you want to see the other Sicily (And not only beaches). Elisabeth lives nearby and she is a great host , always ready to help you. We had a very nice time.
You are at the bottom of the castle.
Only thing, shops, food are in Nicosia, 10 kms away (takes 15 min because this is a mountain landscape), so better have a car.
