Hotels in Sicily, Italy

Sicily is a Mediterranean island off the southern tip of Italy, famous for Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano, and ancient Greek ruins like the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. The climate is hot and dry in summer (80-90°F / 27-32°C), perfect for swimming at San Vito Lo Capo beach or hiking on Etna's lava fields, while mild winters (50-60°F / 10-15°C) are great for exploring Palermo's Norman palaces and sampling cannoli without big crowds. The east coast around Taormina offers Roman theaters and coastal views, while the west near Trapani has salt flats and boat trips to the Egadi Islands.
