A beautiful seaside village in Italy has received a seal of approval from Italians who visit every year for their domestic holidays.<\/p>\n

Caletta Sant’Elia is a tiny community in Sicily nestled in a curve on the island’s east coast in the commune of Palermo.<\/p>\n

Year-round, the village is home to 733 residents who subsist on local fishing, but during the summer, that population quickly inflates.<\/p>\n

The community receives a portion of the approximately 4.89 million people who visit Sicily every year, many of whom are Italians seeking a dose of island life.<\/p>\n

Sant’Elia has a glittering reputation for crystal-clear waters and local cuisine, enticing a growing number of fans.<\/p>\n

Even for Italy, the village is unique, boasting traditional architecture coloured in a pastel palette.<\/p>\n

Those tempted to venture into the town after having a look at its stunning exterior will be treated to additional views.<\/p>\n

Alleyways are decked with street art, providing what travel writer Maartentravels describes as “ample opportunities for photos and Instagram-worthy shots”.<\/p>\n

The village is also surrounded by trees and rests on the Sicilian coast, and people can find a stunning local beach from which they can swim, sunbathe and snorkel.<\/p>\n
