The beach bar is an incredible concept! I really appreciate how they utilized their space and provided all the necessary amenities. The only thing that's lacking is a bus station nearby.

Located just a short 10 to 15-minute drive from Syrakusa, this beach proved to be the ideal spot for us. Unlike other beaches and lidos, it was pleasantly uncrowded on both Tuesdays and Thursdays. The view was absolutely stunning, with the sunbeds positioned above the sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, and the sunbeds were reasonably priced at around 25€ per day. Additionally, the lunch options were delicious. We highly recommend this beach.

This place is absolutely amazing. The beach club is fantastic and exceeded our expectations. It is extremely clean and well-maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly and the food is outstanding. We had a wonderful experience. When we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Marco, whom I had spoken to on the phone the day before to make a reservation. The lifeguards were also very helpful in setting up our sunloungers. Surprisingly, the restroom was very pleasant. There was always toilet paper and hand towels, the lock worked, and it was kept clean. I can't stop thinking about the delicious lunch we had. A team of staff worked hard in the morning to freshly prepare the lunch buffet. There was a fantastic variety of seafood, meats, salads, vegetables, and pasta dishes. The quality of the food and drinks was exceptional, and the prices were very reasonable. The beach club is located on a cliff above the beach, so you access the sea through a short path. The beach itself is small, but the water is warm and clear. There was a bit of seaweed, but it was soft and pleasant to touch. It's perfect for a refreshing swim, and because the beach club felt safe and private, I didn't have any worries about leaving my belongings while taking a dip. After our first day, we didn't hesitate to book for the next day because we had heard that Aranella and Fontane Bianche were incredibly crowded and not very pleasant as a result. Lido Fly Beach was quiet and relaxing, even when it was full. I highly recommend it.

It's a lovely little escape. Although it's not your typical sandy beach, if the weather is perfect and you manage to find a pleasant spot with the sun beaming down, you'll be captivated by its innate beauty.
