The ideal time to explore Sicily is from March to October when bright, sunny days highlight the island’s natural wonders, from mountains and rolling hills to its stunning coastline and crystal-clear seas.
During this season, the Mediterranean Sea, with its many little islands scattered around the coasts of Sicily – The Aeolians, Egadi and Pelagie Islands, Pantelleria, and Ustica – offers remarkable scenery and rich culture. The majestic volcanoes and diverse landscapes add to Sicily’s allure, making it the perfect time to stay in villas in Sicily by the sea.
