From the inland to the coasts, the ideas for one’s holidays in Sicily are really numerous. The biggest island in the Mediterranean sea offers a huge multicultural heritage, the several traces of which can be admired together with an extraordinary landscape variety.
Sicily is the ideal destination for those who want to do an itinerant journey, for those who love to experience the different and contrasting aspects of a rich land. The coastal strip between Palermo and Milazzo is a continuous succession of sea localities, beaches and villages with a strong tourist inclination. Palermo is the inevitable starting point if one decides to visit this part of Sicily. In fact, this city reveals a fascinating cultural mix, an harmonious fusion of very different architectural styles: Arab, Byzantine, Norman, Renaissance and Baroque.
During the summer, the Tyrrhenian coast is very crowded and undoubtedly expensive. To enjoy the original environment of these localities, the idea of planning a stay during the low season is actually interesting: a minor crowding and definitely lower prices. The alternative is choosing an accommodation facility such as a sicily b&b, that guarantee a homely hospitality, typicalness and cheapness.
The most famous and trendy destination is the pretty small town of Cefalù, a traditional fishing village with its nice Medieval alleys, that is today a holiday resort nearly as famous as Taormina. East of Cefalù, the most beautiful beaches are found. Going ahead, some other very nice beaches are found around Capo D’Orlando and in the promontory with the ruins of the ancient Tindari. In the area of Capo Peloro, always going towards the strait of Sicily, Milazzo is found: this is the main port serving the Aeolian Islands. Thanks to its several rocky inlets, the peninsula that here extends towards the north is a very fascinating area from a naturalistic point of view.
Behind the coast, an enchanting inland can be discovered: there are two wide parks and several mountain villages. The parks include the Madonie and Nedroni massifs, the Sicilian continuation of Apennine Mountains, a paradise for excursionists and birdwatching lovers.
