Palermo See & Do

The largest island in Italy, Sicily is renowned for its gorgeous Mediterranean climate, archaeological finds and its rich, unique culture. An important island historically for art, literature, food and architecture, Sicily has moved with modern time but somehow maintained its original charm and elegance. The island boasts the tallest active volcano in Europe, Mount Etna; time your visit right to see the lava glowing at night. If you’re here to see some gorgeous historical sites, you won’t be disappointed. Make sure you visit the important archaeological sites of Selinunte, Syracuse, the Necropolis of Pantalica and the Valley of the Temples.

Valley of the Temples Sicily

When talking big, why not bring up Sicily, since is the largest island on the Mediterranean Sea? Along with its surrounding minor islands, Sicily is an autonomous region of Italy, if you did not know that already. What could this mean? Italian charm, but too good to admit the resemblances and focus a little bit too much on the differences? Let's let the politics out of this, this holiday has to be only about fun, checking out the local history and traditions and getting as much as you can out of the Sicilian experience. Rented that car already?

How could someone visit Sicily and miss its most prominent landmark, meaning Mount Etna? You for sure are not part of that category, since that rental car is just waiting for you to take it out on an adventure. Not only that Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe, but it is one of the most active in the world too. No worries, everything is under control, just go ahead and check those craters, cave, lava flows and everything that comes with the places; you will not regret the experience.

Already charmed by Sicily and its amazing offer when it comes to places that have to be added on your bucket list? Then prepare to be even more amazed, the Valley of the Temples has to be next! Not only that the place has parking lot included, but the variety of Greek temples and how well were they preserved will stun you as much as a walk through that garden will. All you need is time and patience, Sicily can be even more surprising than this!

In the mood for visiting some other landmarks? How about the Greek Doric Temple and the Roman Theatre? Yes, you can discover both of them, even more accessible by car and since they have a free parking lot included, not going would be such a shame. The temple is extremely well preserved, and it is said it represents the most notable one is Sicily.

Take that rental car for a spin to The Stairs of the Turks. As the legend says, those were the stairs that the Turks used to loot the area. Leave your car in that beautiful free parking area and give them a closer look, they definitely worth your while. The sights are breathtaking, of course, those Turks could not have picked a better place to invade the island. The sandy beaches and the restaurants and cafes will for sure make you prolong your pit stop here.

Being on an island, you should reserve at least one day to spend working on your tan or swimming. Thank God and the rental car company, and, of course, Sicily, there are a lot of beaches on which you can relax. Agua Beach is just one of them, the only thing that you should to is fill your tank and eventually prolong your holiday; the island of Sicily is just waiting for you!
