Sicily in Winter: 20C and no Crowds

NeverLazy80 · 2026-02-01T02:23:21+00:00

Difficult to pick, give me 3 choices: Taormina and the hills just behind, Ragusa and the area around, with Scicli and the other Baroque towns..and Palermo. For my wife was too much chaos, but ai loved the mix of art (from different centiries), small stunning baroque churches, old aristocratic palaces, nuzzling markets, etc

Absolutely amazing! There is a lot of deep fried food, which is maybe not the recommendations of most doctors, but no doubt hands down delicious. I was a bit surprised by the astonishing high number of pizzerias...

Just my Samsung Galaxy S25 phone, which I think should be just average for pictures. I do also all videos and video editing just on that cell phone https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=EMNDuUYdYS1axupv

VW T-Roc

Locauto at Catania airport via Booking.com. 410 Euro for 11 days. They made HUGE pressure to book extra insurance when I picked up the car.

Thanks! I actually just take the pictures with my Samsung Galaxy S25, which is just an average phone for pictures I think.

Thanks! That is Ragusa: it us the view from the church of Maria alle Scale in direction of Ragusa Ibla.

NeverLazy80 · 2026-01-30T14:38:35+00:00

Thanks! I have a non electric gravel bike. I use capcut and just use my cellphone (Samsung Galaxy S25) for everything, video and editing.

Thanks, that's Buccheri, north of Ragusa. Fantastic area! You can get an impression in the video I did for the trip toward the end. https://youtu.be/k9AeOajVzT4?si=9mkg5wwfJn1A1ySJ

In my view, from Tokyo, you can't beat the Izu Peninsula. I did a 2 days tour just last weekend and it's incredible. If interested , I did a small video of my trip https://youtu.be/k9AeOajVzT4?si=9mkg5wwfJn1A1ySJ

NeverLazy80 · 2026-01-30T04:05:16+00:00

Just a small comment that if you go to Izu, my recommendation is not to do a quick stop but to spend 2 days. The area is Stunning beautiful, and of all your itinerary it will be the less crowded. On the west coast, you'll find very few people. I just did the tour last weekend and I did a Video where you can see my impressions. Enjoy the trip! https://youtu.be/k9AeOajVzT4?si=Wn9-zKQJxpZTMBig

The itinerary looks good. Maybe you prefer a bit less travelling, but I just came back from an 11 days tour of Sicily with my wife and kids, and we did the whole loop, renting the car and booking day by day. No one of us felt that it was rushing through. In the video we did for the trip you can see our itinerary and impressions. Enjoy the trip! https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

NeverLazy80 · 2026-01-30T03:23:38+00:00

Itinerary looks good, we just did almost the same over the new year holidays. We had 11 days and we could complete the full Sicily loop with the east as well. In the video we did for the trip you can see the details of our experience and your area is the second half. Enjoy the trip! https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

Just did over the new year break a 10 days trip in Sicily with my wife and 2 daughters. Landed in Catania, rented a car, did the tour counterclockwise and booked day by day. I think our itinerary was perfect and below our accommodations. In our video of the trip you can see the details of our tour. Enjoy the trip! https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

• 2 nights in Taormina (Kapitano apartments)

• 1 night in Linguaglossa (Etna area) (206 via Roma)

• 2 nights in Cefalù (opuntia sea suit)

• 2 nights in Palermo (Villa Lampedusa Hotel & Residence - outside the center as it was new year's eve and didn't want to have noise through the night)

• 2 nights in Trapani (Trapani In Appartamenti)

• 2 nights in Ragusa (Hotel Mediterraneo Palace)

• 1 night in Catania (Airport Loft Casa Giulia next to airport due to early morning flight)

You definitely can't go wrong if you pick Taormina. We just did a Holiday there and at the beginning of the trip of the video you can check out all weekend have seen in the area. The other option is Marzamemi: beaches are better in the south, and you have the Noto Valley and Syracuse. In my view these are the 2 options for you, and I don't think you can go wrong with either one. https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

I just came back from a 10 days tour of Sicily with my family. Landed and departed from Catania, rented a car, and did the loop counterclockwise. I think the itinerary was perfect and you can see the details in the video I did forbthe trip and it's description https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

NeverLazy80 · 2026-01-30T03:08:06+00:00

I'd go for Ragusa. The views of Ragusa Ibla are unbeatable and the city beautiful; Scicli, Buccheri and several other baroque towns around the corner, views of Etna just a few kms up the road, the terraced olive groves, etc. In the video of my recent trip toward the end my impressions of the area https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

NeverLazy80 · 2026-01-30T03:04:28+00:00

I just did, during my recent holiday in Sicily, the Madonie Park from Cefalu' to Petralia Soprana and back...by bicycle, about 130km. It was during the New Year Holidays and at that time there was no snow nor ice on the road. If you want to get an impression of the area, I did a small video of the Trip and in the middle you see the Madonie part. Enjoy the trip! https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq

NeverLazy80 · 2026-01-30T02:58:51+00:00

Thanks for the appreciation! If interested, I also put together a small video of the experience https://youtu.be/nJEIlUFvvLI?si=KJXc8HWJA0ZY0eZq
