Feb 12, 2018 · We traveled back to back Southern Italy/Sicily in the month of September 2014. We felt comfortable with the temperature hovering around eighty. May would be be a great option with possible lower temps. Never understood the quote that "Sicily is Italy on steroids." Have to say Sicily is at the top of our list for favorite places in Italy.

Oct 22, 2024 · We were there on the RS tour in February 2019. It was 50s during the day, and low 40s at night, and with a wind it was jacket weather. Locals were wearing long down coats, hats and gloves. But it was green and beautiful. My thought at the time was that early April might be the best time. People live there, so restaurants and shops are not an issue.

Jun 19, 2020 · March would be a waste of my time. In conclusion: Sicily’s historical sights are best when it’s cooler than July. Sardinia, Corsica, Aeolian islands, and also Sicily’s beach locations are better when it is warmer than March or April. End of May or June would be best for all.

Sep 18, 2019 · Hello, we are planning our first trip to Sicily and need advice. We plan on starting in Palermo and stopping in the main towns. The places we definitely want to visit are Palermo, Trapani, Catania, Taormina, Isnello, Santo Stefano Camastra, Messina. We would like to visit other towns as well, bu...

May 5, 2018 · Sicily deserves as much time as you have to give it. So, if you only have 7 days (even 5 or 6) I think it's worth going, with a couple of caveats. Don't go for that short time expecting to see it all - not gonna happen. And you'll see more in that short of visit by renting a …

Jan 10, 2024 · Sicily has rather limited rail service, and none of it is fast. There are some buses as well, but they are usually frequent [<< meant to day "infrequent" here], and it seems that virtually no buses head to out-of-town destinations on Sundays. Those factors are part of the reason why a single base isn't a good approach to visiting Sicily.

Nov 10, 2018 · The transit time will be a total waste, and Pozzallo isn't very close to places you would typically choose to visit in Sicily, so you'll also be spending additional time getting to and from that ferry port. In mid-July Sicily (and I assume also Malta) will be very, very hot. It's really not the best time of year to visit that part of Italy.

Mar 29, 2018 · I recall reading a thread where someone said they went in Sept. and it was still very, very hot. Last October we did 2 weeks in Puglia, all the way to the heel, before heading to Matera, Paestum & Sorrento, Oct. 3-24. The weather was fabulous and so comfortable the entire time. Thoughts from people who have visited Sicily during September/October?

Apr 23, 2024 · We have a cruise booked for August 29-September 8, 2025, that departs from Rome. We are planning to visit Rome pre-cruise August 26-29. We are also planning to visit Venice for a few days and Lake Como for a few days post-cruise before leaving for home. The cruise has stops in Florence, Portofino, Naples, Sicily and Brindisi.

Jan 11, 2018 · The Egadi islands on the NW tip of Sicily were, to me, very underwhelming. I find that reviews of small European islands are often overly positive because they are the best place to find uncrowded beaches. If you're not going for the beaches, the travel time may not be worthwhile. Trapani is a colorful coastal town in the NW.
