An old Italian proverb would like you to spend this period at home with the family. Instead, you are planning to spend a holiday in Sicily at Christmas and you need to know what to do: here there are our tips.
The first idea must be one of the most typically Christmas attractions. Every year, the Christmas markets in Sicily are different and all suggestive. The most beautiful can be considered these twelve: Agrigento, Belpasso, Caltagirone, Caltanissetta, Capo d’Orlando, Catania, Erice, Gangi, Milazzo, Nicolosi, Ragusa e Rometta Marea. You will enjoy traditional flavours and aromas, lights and toys, crafts and music.

You are planning to spend an on the road Christmas vacation in Sicily and you need an itinerary. One of the best that we can recommend is certainly the tour of eastern Sicily in seven days: from Messina to Syracuse, in a week you will admire many places that will leave you speechless.
All these ideas have one thing in common: it’s better to have a car with you, which will allow you to visit this land. Cars that you can take on one of the ferries to Sicily.
