Summer in Sicily

The rugged island of Sicily off the tip of Italy is an excellent place to plan your hot fun in the summer. There is plenty to do during your stay in Sicily, from fun on the beaches to educational archaeological sites. Reserve a car hire in Sicily to get around the island during your stay.

Sicily has several beaches featuring fine golden sand and blue waters. Plan to visit San Vito lo Capo beach, surrounded by scenic mountains, it is one of the most beautiful beaches on the island. Beyond the hill of Toarmina is Gardini Naxos beach, or take your Sicily car rental over to Vendicari and visit a beautiful beach and Natural Reserve.

In the south coast of Sicily you can visit some interesting ancient Greek ruins. In the city of Agrigento is the Valle dei Templi (Valley of Temples), which has been preserved as an UNESCO World Heritage site. In the city of Gela you can visit their archaeological centre as well as an excellent sea resort.

On this huge island every little city seems to have its own culture. It is worth it to visit multiple cities in Sicily during your stay as each city seems to have its own local specialty, be it a type of olive, a unique Arabic cake, or a regional wine grown nowhere else in the world. Make your summer tour of Sicily easy and relaxed with the freedom of your own Sicily car rental.

Make sure you enjoy some of Sicily's summer dishes. Sicily has one of the world's best cuisines to offer, with much of the island's food coming from the sea. Expect more olive oil and tomatoes than cream and butter and a wider variety of spices added to a typically Mediterranean flavor.
