Visit Palermo

Palermo is the regional capital of Sicily, which is an incredible historical and cultural destination all in itself.

This long history has made this place into a multi-cultural historic place, which makes a trip to this place a must-do thing while you are in Sicily.

Take a trip to Mount Etna

Located in the Sicilian province of Catania, Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe. You can easily rent a car or book a group tour to see this majestic natural attraction. After you reach the site, you will be able to go for a hike to some of the craters. However, if you truly want to go higher, then you have to take a cable car ride from the Rifugio Sapienza building. After getting off from the cable car, you can hike to an even higher safe viewing point. You can also take a tour in one of the tour trucks available at the drop off point.

Spend a relaxing day at San Vito lo Capo

San Vito lo Capo is arguably the most beautiful beach on the island of Sicily. The beautiful warm-coloured sand is lined by the looming limestone cliffs, which act as a breathtaking backdrop to the Sicilian shoreline. You can come here with your family or loved ones to have a beautiful, relaxing day by the sea. Grab some things to eat at the small eateries located by the beach. The famous annual Sicilian food festival, Cous Cous Fest is also held at this location.

Take a trip to the Valley of the Temples

This is another one of the must-see-sites located on the Sicily Island. The Valley of the Temples is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is not actually a valley. It is a ridge which is covered with seven temples which date back to 5th century BC. The different temples are dedicated to different deities, and this historic site comes to its true glory at night, when the moonlight bathe the temples into a site of breathtaking beauty.
