Sicily: travel guides

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, dazzles visitors with its beautiful landscapes and diverse culture, defined by the traditions, art and monuments of the different populations that have lived on its territory over the centuries. Beautiful beaches, natural parks and no end of monuments of inestimable artistic, historic and cultural value, adorn the island. In Sicily, there is plenty of choice when it comes to camping sites and holiday villages; many facilities are open all year round and are the ideal base to set off and explore the island by car, camper or motorbike.

Camping sites near the sea

Mild weather, flourishing nature and crystal sea make Sicily the ideal beach holiday destination. Washed by both the Tyrrhenian and Ionian Seas, Sicily has plenty of beaches and islands perfect to spend memorable holidays: from Cefalù to San Vito Lo Capo, from Marina di Ragusa to the Aeolian Islands and Lampedusa, without forgetting the beaches of Catania, where visitors can spend time at the beach but also discover the riches of the inland, with Mount Etna in the background. As mentioned, Sicily’s mild temperatures allow camping sites to stay open all year round, making travelling across the island a pleasant experience even during low season. It is no coincidence that pensioners from all across Europe choose to spend the winter in this corner of paradise, far from cold temperatures.

Cities and enogastronomy

Sicily is not just about holidays on the beach. Thanks to its history and traditions, the island offers many opportunities to have a fun and culturally-rich holiday discovering cities like Palermo, Catania, Messina and Agrigento, with the spectacular Valle dei Templi. The island is also appreciated for its wine and traditional cuisine, which have made Sicily famous all around the world. On the same note, town markets, offering traditional local products, are a window on Sicilian culture and are well worth visiting.
