I've heard Agrigento is very nice....and they have nice ancient ruins. Plus the weather this time of year us good as is the food.

I usually visit Montreal this time of year, but this time it's Sicily.


It's beautiful, I love it. But if you're not from there, or not familiar, it's a bit of a culture shock especially for Americans. Looks like what Americans would call the ghetto lol. But it's old and beautiful and full of history. I love it. If you're in Porto Empedocle, which is my husband's town, you can go to the Temples. It's the Valley of the Temples. It's beautiful this time of year, you're right; although I love summer for the beach/sea/tan. grin

Anyway, sorry to derail the thread, enjoy your visit there. smile



carmela, thank you, but I'm not American!!!

Right now I live in the southern Mediterranean so visiting Sicily is like visiting family. I think it's very similar to where I am now.


You'll love Sicily and southern Italy in general. It will remind you of Greece in many ways.

Make sure you check out Taormina!
