Vacation and relaxation in Sicily: 3 ideas to organize it

We advise you to ignore the summer, as it is the period of major tourist attraction. Instead, spring and autumn are the ideal seasons to enjoy a wonderful vacation in Sicily. And to organize it in the best way, we can give you three great ideas.

1. Thermal baths

The relaxation holiday par excellence, and it’s taken for granted, is in thermal baths: a couple of days dedicated exclusively to wellness treatments, culinary specialties and nature. At the end of this journey, you will literally feel like new, ready to face the daily routine.

Speaking of thermal baths, the main Sicilian destinations are three:

• Terme di Acireale (metropolitan city of Catania, officially founded in 1873);
• Terme di Sciacca (in the province of Agrigento, known and appreciated since the time of ancient Greece);
• Terme Vigliatore (in the metropolitan city of Messina, between Milazzo and the promontory of Tindari).

2. Archaeological sites

Relaxing does not mean only thermal baths and wellness treatments. Imagine silent impressive witnesses of centuries and centuries of history coming out on the surrounding plain. Imagine the calm of a bare nature that seems to almost enclose such witnesses. Imagine all the fascination of history.

Imagine the archaeological sites of Sicily. The main ones are four, which will allow you to make a small, authentic journey back in time:

• Valle dei Templi;
• Mozia;
• Segesta;
• Selinunte.

3. Castles

Towers, merlature, buttresses, ramparts, inner halls, secret passages, terraces overlooking the sea – all this just succeds in describing what a castle can suggest. There are many castles in Sicily, each of which is like a result of its millennial history. In particular, for this holiday, we suggest a very special itinerary that, in five stages, will allow you to discover some of the most beautiful castles in western Sicily:

• Erice Castle;
• Castle of Carini;
• Castle at Sea in Palermo;
• Castle of Caccamo;
• Castelbuono.

Whatever is your favorite idea to spend this relaxing holiday, there is now one thing to do: book your trip on one of Sicily’s ferries.
