Top 5 Things to Do in Sicily
Whether you are heading to Sicily to spend a week there or are stopping by as part of your itinerary, there are a myriad of activities to keep you occupied during your stay.
Sail Along the Ionian Coast
As with many Ionian shores, Sicily is a great base for sailing and flotilla holidays. Climb aboard a yacht for a few days and learn how to sail, or if you’re already an experienced yachtsman, head for the open waters and stop by Sicilian villages on your travels to experience the local culture.
Mountain Bike on Mount Etna
For those who have a real yearning for adventure holidays, the dramatic spectacle of Mount Etna is a playground. Grab your helmet and clamber on and enjoy the exhilarating experience of riding on one of the world’s still active volcanoes.
Hike in the National Parks
With its abundance of national parks, Sicily certainly isn’t short of walking opportunities. Head for Parco Regionale delle Madonie or Parco dei Nebrodi for some of the most breathtaking views of the Sicilian wilderness. Appreciate the wildlife, admire the beauty or just enjoy the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere.
Explore the Alcantara Gorge
Take a dip in the icy waters or enjoy the sun on the rocky shore. Hire a guide who will take you on a 2 mile float on the river in a not-so-trendy wetsuit.
Skydive near Palermo
For the thrillseekers amongst you, there’s nothing more exhilarating than jumping out of a plane thousands of feet in the air. With the help of a tandem skydiver, enjoy the landscapes for a birdseye view, and grab a copy of the film so that you can remember your jump forever.
The beautiful island of Sicily has so much to offer its visitors; particular with the stunning Mount Etna dominating its skyline. Be sure to check out this fun-filled island for a real taste of the Med.
