Holiday in Sicily

[speedyman]

Has anyone had a holiday in Sicily and can advise on what are the best resorts, hotels and things to do there. Will just be myself and the wife going, looking at August time.

Thanks

Depends what you like. And budget. We went via Think Sicily the year before last. Taormina is nice but touristy. On the West side it's a bit quieter and we liked the south around Agrigento.

If it's just the two of you why go in August? It's peak time in terms of cost.....

Make sure your travel insurance covers geological issues. Etna is Europe's most active volcano.

My wife works in a school, so we get ripped off every year as she can only take time off during term time. Thanks

Etna was erupting last week or the week before. As has been said Taormina is beautiful but you are a second class citizen if you're not Italian, and they make that abundantly clear to your face in some instances. I won't be in any hurry to return
