Albeit Sicily looks like it’s being thrown out of Italy by the tip of the boot, it’s much a part of this varied country. This island of Sicily Italy has its own distinct cultures and is worthy a visit all on its own – not least because it’s challenging enough to get here from the Italian mainland that you really don’t want to short yourself by just taking a few days to see it. There are some big and interesting cities to visit, along with some really cool Greek ruins and a very active volcano. Do yourself a favor and spend at least a week, maybe more. Just keep in mind that the summertimes can get very hot, so try to keep away from going then.
Where to Go on Sicily holidays and What to Do
Palermo is Sicily’s capital city and is busy and active. You could well pass some days in Palermo and not see all. But you’ll want to get beyond Palermo, too. Explore the Greek temples and other ruins in Agrigento and Syracuse (Siracusa) and a stunning Greek theatre in Taormina, which is also a popular tourist holiday resort on the Mediterranean sea. If you’re into skiing or mountain hiking, find how active Mount Etna is and whether you can safely ski or climb it – it has a disposition to spit ash and lava into the air every so often, so it’s always good to check security in advance. And you can’t visit Sicily for vacations without trying out the local seafood.
