When packing for a trip to Sicily, don't forget the essentials like your visa, passport, chargers, camera, some euro and the correct power adaptor. Clothing wise, check out the seasonality guides and pack to suit the conditions - aka plenty of layers for winter and lighter options for summer. Other necessities include a walking shoes, hat, sunglasses, swimwear and a good pair of jeans. Oh and if you’re lactose or gluten intolerant bring some medication to get you through. Life’s too short not to fill up on gelato and pizza in Italy.

Sicily’s nature as a larger island means you can roam far and wide, scoping out the best places to swim, feast and get lost in ancient Greek architecture. Accommodation wise, most travellers will opt to stay in Palermo, Catania, Cefalu, Taormina and Trapani.

Italy offers travellers the chance to experience four unique seasons: primavera (spring) between March and May, estate (summer) from June until August, autunno (autumn) running from September until November and inverno (winter) between December and February. Sicily’s mild Mediterranean climate means it is blessed with cool winters and hot summers with little rain. If you’re hoping to enjoy less crowds and pleasant weather, we recommend visiting Sicily between March and June.

Sicily is perfect for those seeking a unique mix of history, stunning coastlines and Italian charm. Indulge in some RnR with a few days by the beach, diving into crystal waters and enjoying golden sands. Alternatively, visit Isola Bella and the Valley of the Temples to experience ancient Greek art and architecture.
