00:00 - 5 Things To Know Before Traveling To Sicily Italy

00:15 - 1. When to Go:
The best time to visit Sicily depends on what you're looking for. May to June and September to October offer great weather for beach time and sightseeing, with fewer crowds than peak summer.

01:57 - 2A. How to Get There:
You can reach Sicily by plane, ferry, or cruise. Most people fly, with direct flights from some major cities available in the summer months. Budget airlines like Ryanair and EasyJet can save money, but clear your website cookies and browsing history to avoid price hikes.

03:29 - 2B. Getting Around Sicily:
A small rental car is ideal for exploring the island. While there are highways, you'll also want to navigate charming alleys and hidden gems. Public transportation is affordable (buses and trains) but can be slow.

04:35 - 3. Prices:
Mid-range hotels cost around €60-80 per night, while Airbnbs average €90. Off-season offers better rates. Lunch is the most affordable meal, ranging from €6-10 for a full plate. Dinners cost €10-15, with pizza even cheaper. Stay away from tourist traps for the best deals.

05:56 - 4. Best To Do

06:45 - 5. Patience is Key:
Things move differently in Sicily. Be prepared to wait in lines, as stores often close for afternoon siestas but stay open later in the evening. Numerous festivals and holidays can also lead to closures. Embrace the laid-back culture and enjoy the slower pace.

08:09 - Bonus:
Skip Airbnb and Hotels.com! Look for seasonal rentals (transitorio) on Italian websites like Casa.it, Subito.it, Idealista.it, and Immobiliare.it. These offer 30-day minimum stays (up to 90 days) and are often cheaper than Airbnbs, especially for more extended stays.

We hope these tips help you plan your amazing Sicilian adventure!
