6 Useful Sicily Travel Tips Have you been imagining a Sicily trip? This Italian island region is unlike anywhere else, so read on for 6 Useful Sicily Travel Tips. 1. Best Time to Visit: In truth, Sicily is a year-round, sunny destination. In fact, this fascinating island and its satellites typically get about 350 days of sunshine a year. But crowds and temperatures can be brutal during the summer months. We recommend late spring or mid-fall for a more comfortable experience all around. 2. Number of Days Needed: Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, with over 600 miles of coastline and nearly 10,000 square miles. To include a variety of must-see destinations, as well as authentic, immersive experiences, we recommend at least 10-14 days for a comfortable, well-balanced pace. Thank you so much for all you did to make our Sicily vacation extraordinary! I cannot tell you how much [we] appreciate you. I am going to recommend you to several people. ~ John C.  3. Best Way to Get Around: Travel by car is the best way to visit Sicily. There are no high-speed trains, and trains often run late. But driving in the major cities will make grown men cry. We have trusted, local partners that can provide safe, reliable, and affordable transportation for couples and small-to-larger groups. 4. What Sicily is Famous For: The Italian island (and region) of Sicily is a beautiful blend of civilizations, flavors, colors, architecture, and history set against the backdrop of extraordinary natural beauty. Movies and TV series are often filmed in Sicily, like White Lotus (Season 2), and the Godfather movies. 5. What to Eat in Sicily: Some of our favorites include fresh seafood, dishes made with couscous, cannoli, and typical street foods like arancini (rice balls filled with tomatoes and cheese). There are fabulous Mt. Etna wines like those made with Nero D'avola grapes and fortified Marsala . . . from Marsala! 6. Things to Know: a) Yes, Sicilians speak Italian, but they also speak Sicilian, which many Italians cannot understand, b) Mt. Etna is an active volcano that erupts dozens of times a year, c) Some of the best-preserved Greek ruins outside of Greece are in Sicily Don't want to go it alone?
