6 blogger tips for an unforgettable break to Sicily

Natalie from the UK based blog named Hello Cuppies is a trusted baker, traveller and a highly talented writer. She recently took a trip to the dazzlingly beautiful Mediterranean island known as Sicily. A place famed for its seductive landscape, with sparkling seas and restless mountains, and an abundance of delicious flavours everyone will enjoy. If you’re planning a trip to the Italian paradise, Natalie has some must-try sights you won’t want to miss…

 

This is the villa in Sicily that Natalie stayed in. 

 

Hire a boat from Castellammare del Golfo port:

Around €100 a day you get to pull in and access some amazing beaches and views independently. A lovely alternative to driving or using public transport. 

Visit the town of San Vito Lo Capo and stay for sunset:

It’s beautiful and the beach is one of the nicest in Sicily. The town comes to life in an evening and is extremely family-friendly.  

Visit Tempio di Segesta:

Quieter than some of the other tourist attractions in Sicily and easier to get to.  It's raised high in the hills so the views are amazing 

Buy lots of fruit and veg from the little market stalls in towns and occasionally at the side of the road:

They taste so good, are extremely fresh and cook perfectly on that BBQ ;-)

Scala Dei Turchi:

Hugely unique and not something you can see anywhere else.  Pure white limestone and a beautiful warm relaxing sea. Go early to beat the crowds. 

Hire a car:

We were a little bit wary but it's an amazing way to get around and you get to visit places and admire the views you'd not normally be able to. Plus, experiencing the Sicilian way of driving is lots of fun!
