Sicily in October 2025 – Is it worth going on vacation? Weather and reviews, air and water temperature in Palermo and Taormin, is it possible to swim, prices in hotels. And also – what to do and what to look at Sicily in the middle of autumn, says Eurotraveler.
Whatever anyone says, but Sicily is primarily a beach, and then a cultural and historical tourist direction. And most of the people who arrives on the main island of Italy are primarily interested in the question, Is it possible to swim in the Mediterranean Sea.
The answer to it is obvious if we are talking about the June-August period, and even September. But in October, Sicily no longer looks so obviously hot and literally incinerating a place – the gift that Africa is sideways.
Or looks? We tried to figure it out and put all (or almost all) points over I.
Weather on Sicily in October
Putters and weather forecast sites in the voice claim that, although “there is no trace of summer heat” the Sicilian climate in the middle of autumn does not allow to complain too much. Judging by specific numbers, Everything is very worthy.
And even chic – if we recall that most European countries at this time are actively preparing for the arrival of winter. And the issues of heating are interested in the population much more than the probability of a sunny day or the temperature of the “some kind of” sea.
But it somehow did not occur to those who came to Sicily in early October to recall the onset (according to the calendar) of the cold season. For on the island in the middle of autumn a good one is installed, Truly “velvet time”!
If at the beginning of October the air temperature in Sicily, in Palermo or in Taormin, can still reach +30 degrees Celsius, then a week or two after 10 later, street thermometers will show no more than +22-25 ° C.
At the same time, which is commendable, there is not a descending trend not typical of the middle of European autumn, but the most “healthy stability”.
Until the end of October, the air temperature in Sicily holds the brand in the daytime tries not to sink below +20 ° C. At night, the atmosphere, of course, cools: the duration of the daylight day is not enough for it to pump to high temperatures.
After sunset, even in coastal resorts usually +16-18 ° C. Therefore, the autumn jacket or even warm jacket brought from the house will be absolutely to the place.
Rains
Do not pour “like from a bucket”, but you should morally prepare for a fairly high probability of this weather. After all, according to statistics, October on Sicily – Not the dry season.
65-70 mm rainfall per month-not so little. Although tourists may console the fact that most of this moisture falls in 3-4 days.
And in the rest of the October Sicily, the bright sun and the blue sky are observed. Well, or at least cloudy, but not rainy weather.
Shtil is not characteristic of this time of year, but the wind in the middle of autumn is not so strong as to spoil your mood (and well -being). Although, against the background of not the highest air temperatures in the mountainous areas (Etna, for example), their “blows” are very felt.
Water temperature
Based on our own experience, we will say that (in other years), that the sea off the coast of Sicily in early October is warmed up to +24-25 degrees Celsius. Moreover, in the west of the islands, it is as if warmer than in the East – where the famous Taormmina is deployed.
One way or another, but Bathing in the water areawarmed up to the specified temperature, will please Not only tempered persons. But also mothers with young children, as well as imposing vacationers at the age of 40. Who do not like surprises and therefore, rather, abandon the sea baths than to climb into cold water.
Gradually the Mediterranean Sea cools. But not swiftly, but Sicilian slowly. That is, you have the right to count on water, warmed up to +22-23 ° C in the middle of the month, and to +20-21 at its end.
It is clear that this is not tropical condition. But they still leave the British Blackpool or German Zagnikov “behind the flag”. We are no longer talking about the megapopular Russian resort in Sochi in the Black Sea.
What are they-even in Italy (for example, in Lido-Di-Ezolo or Rimini) in mid-October and they forget to think about bathing.
Prices 2025
Hotel room or entire apartments in Sicily in the middle of autumn can be removed for 80-100 € per day. In the popular Taormin, for example, for a hundred euros it will be possible to rent a separate, albeit small, house – Taormina Miramare Home. Located in a quiet place is not so far that from the old city (7-10 minutes on foot) that from the beach (about 15).
On the opposite bank of the island, in San Vito-Lo-Cap, prices are more modest and more choice. So for the amount indicated above, not two, but up to 4 vacationers will be able to settle in apartments like residence Marinella. And you don’t have to strain to the sea at all – the beach is literally nearby!
The cost of a tour of Sicily depends on the place of your deployment and the saturation of the route. But in the whole fall, you need to focus on the bar of 40-45 €-if you are going to make a cruise (for example, from San Vito-Lo-Capo). Approximately the same amount will have to be given for a sightseeing tour of Palermo or skating (you will have to get on your own).

In the middle part of the island, guides in the voice recommend Pay attention to the towns of Modik and Raguza. Not just authentic Italian towns, firmly stuck in the past, but also a kind of architectural museums in the open air. The fact is that they had to be built back after the 1693 earthquake, and a significant number of buildings were decided in the same style – Baroque.
The city of Archimedes, Syracuse, on the eastern coast of Sicily beckons perfectly preserved monuments of the ancient era. A sense of natural immersion in the Middle Ages and those travelers who will visit the island of Ortidge will experience.
