Why this trip

A smoking volcano, a beach at the foot of a town and arancini in the hand: Sicily is an adventure with flavour for children. The largest island in the Mediterranean has enough landscape to keep even older children busy. Etna is the destination where children see lava fields and recognise the smoke of the crater. In Ortigia, the old town of Syracuse, narrow lanes and streets by the sea can be explored on foot.

The Teatro Antico of Taormina offers steps with a sea view, and Cefalù combines old town and beach in one place. The Villa Romana del Casale with its mosaics is a destination for older children who are interested in the Romans. Because the distances on the island are large, a fixed base with few excursions is worthwhile. As the best travel time, the country data name April to June and September to October.

With a flight of about 1 to 1.5 hours, Sicily is quickly reached. Naples, the Amalfi Coast and Calabria lie as neighbours on the mainland, but on Sicily one region is usually enough for a week.
