How to do and what to look at Sicily in the beginning of autumn, is it possible to climb an ethnu and go to the Lipar Islands, says Eurotraveler.
If it is true that they mainly go to Sicily to move, and not lie on the beach, the same time for this time is clearly not summer. Which on the island is exclusively hot and therefore weak for any activity. Not to mention long trips and excursions.
On the contrary: the middle and end of spring, as well as the first half of autumn in Sicily in the eyes of a curious traveler look much more promising. Indeed, in these periods, the weather will almost certainly allow you to see the main island of Italy in all its glory. At the same time, without overworking and not burning.
Equally, going on a trip to Sicily in September, you can fully to realize your beach aspirations. Nice swimming and sunbathing. Moreover, doing this in between walks and trips.
As you know, in order to visit the interesting places of Sicily not in the same way, without missing anything really curious, it will take days 5 days, and better – a week. Most tourists come here approximately so.
Those who are seriously configured and understands a lot about the real vacation, of course, they will plan At least two -week holidays. Since they know that it is necessary to accompany the summer (and along the way to meet autumn) so that you have the accumulated charge of optimism to successfully overcome the late autumn and winter period!
Weather on Sicily in September
Justifies the desire of tourists to go here at this time. If you exclude the likelihood of cloudy and even rainy days that is seriously growing in comparison with the summer months, Sicily in early September is a very attractive place.
A little excessively hot – in our opinion. But still extremely optimistic! However, in the middle-end of the month, Sicily is not losing attractiveness. Rather, even becomes Even more alluring.
The air temperature in Sicily during the first half of September is kept in the ranges +28-35 ° C during the day and +20-24 ° C (rarely, but also +17-18 ° C) at night. It was as if concluding a profitable contract and does everything so as not to lose it.
Only towards the end of September, the weather in Sicily hints to vacationers that it is time to think about returning home. But it does it very gently, unobtrusively, lowering the daily air temperatures in the range +24-27 degrees Celsius. And the night dropping … Yes, approximately +20-22 ° C will remain!
That is, you will not have to hacking and longing about the warm things forgotten at home. At the maximum – you want to find a lace blouse or a light jacket at the bottom of the suitcase and throw them on the shoulders in the evenings.
In most cases, tourists, who were in Sicily in September, recall the existence of a slightly warmer than a sundress or a T -shirt plus shorts, only after sunset. But in the afternoon they have only worries to get to a shaded place!
Stone centers of Sicilian cities by September noon Literally hot. What is regularly mentioned in reviews.
Precipitation
The total number of rainy days in Sicily in the first month of autumn does not exceed 4-5 per month. But the average monthly rainfall It seems to be high For such a place territorially close to sugar-up to 50-60 mm.
It should not be scared! On the contrary, possession of such information allows you to plan the most reasonable route of movements ahead of time. And without a twinge of conscience, alternate saturated long excursions with a lazy “sealing” rest on the seashore.
After all, at least in 1 day, see Palermo, take a walk on skiing, get to Syracuse and Modiki, Agridento and Selinunta – literally necessary. Yes, and on Etnu it is simply a sin not to climb into a non -fire, but relatively clear (I want to reward myself with panoramas?) September day!
Water temperature
That Tyrrne, that the Mediterranean Sea, embracing Sicily, is warmed up to +26-28 ° C by the beginning of autumn. And they part with these degrees extremely reluctantly. In any case, it is not worth expecting a steep downward peak from the temperature of sea water.
Everything will be civilized and predictable-by the end of September, the water off the coast of Sicily will cool up to +23-24 degrees Celsius. And you can still swim without reference to the time of day.
Naturally, closer to the third decade of the month in the morning it will be a little cool. And it will be possible to swim after the persuasion – since we arrived – then it is necessary!
But by 10-11 o’clock in the morning, even small children can flounder in the coastal water area. And closer to 16-17 you are unlikely to complain about the coolness of sea water.
Where to go
Note that it is a special difference where to land on Sicily for relaxation in September is not.
If you are an independent traveler, and are free to choose a vacation site, – It is best to settle in San Vito-Lo-Cap On the western coast. There, both the sea is warmer, and you will not meet “bags” tourists.
And the prices in hotels with the advent of autumn are slightly reduced (you can rent a number or entire apartments near the sea for 80-100 € per day for two)-the main stream of vacationers went home, and hostels are forced to adapt.
Tourists gravitating to the sights and large cities, probably, should consider Cafe 70 km from Palermo. Much more thoroughly banned by human crowds even in September.
Chefalu is small, and therefore many risk getting bored, settling here for 7-10 days. But for a 3-4-day vacation on the shore-a great choice.
Although you will have to fork out in comparison with San Vito-Lo-capa-good apartments and hotels in the center of Chefal in September are renting rooms for 100-120+ € per day.
We will mention another worthy option – the vast beach of Montello next to Palermo. Where in theory you can come at least every day, settling in (several cheaper) hotels in the Sicilian capital.
The travelers who bought a package tour usually are forced to go to the eastern shore of the island: to the beaches of Taormins, Letoanni and Katania.
The water area is here A little more cool Compared to the west coast, but you are unlikely to complain about this circumstance. Since in general, the sea near Sicily in the beginning of autumn is warm to temperatures, excluding the discontent of the resort.
Prices 2025
The apartments on the island, of course, are cheaper than hotels. That’s just the free time to the required time may not be – September – a popular time among vacationers.
We recommend paying attention to the beautiful Sanvitotour- Residence Il Baglio near San Vito-Lo-Capo. Apartments with an area of 45 m2 and your own kitchen can be removed for 140 €, and it will turn out for free. You can get to a great beach on foot for 6-7 minutes, to the city-over 15.
Excursions on Sicily with Russian-speaking guides are quite expensive-for getting to know Palermo (your company), for example, they will take from 140-150 €. However, you should remember that you actually understand good English, how the price tags for tours fall to a level of about 40-45 € per person.
Renting a car right at the airport of Palermo Falcone Borsellino strongly untie his hands in the sense of travel. It will cost the pleasure of 50 € per day, but it is not shown to everyone.
Again, from habit, it is difficult to avoid contacts with the walls and other machines in ancient towns. Where the width of the streets sometimes looks completely insufficient for the oncoming travel.
Do not forget about gasoline prices in Italy, claiming championship in Europe. And also about the almost non -alternative payment of local parking lots – they require money on all days of the week, except Sunday.
What to do
A detailed guide on what you can look at Sicily in a week or more, we created earlier. You just have to construct your own route of movements based on the point that is selected for relaxation. And, of course, mobility!
Since, although public transport on the island is developed and not bad, you are unlikely to go yourself from Taormina on a trap on a train or bus. A similar trip and by car is a test (370 km at least)!
For those who will settle in San Vito-Lo-Capo, definitely It is worth visiting such places Like Tupans and Erich, temples in Segest. It will ensure a lot of vivid impressions and a visit to the archaeological park of Selinunta, where the whole eight of ancient Greek temples live in vigorous degrees of destruction.
From San Vito-Lo-Kapo you can easily get out of Palermo (105 km) and the Cathedral of Montreal. In the day you will have time to go to Agridento (about 190 km): in order to see the famous churches and the “Turkov staircase” next to Porto Empedocle.
To see Modik and Raguza, allocating only 1 day on this is problematic. For the distance along the highway from the trapan exceeds 300 km!
In the same way, you will have to come up with something non -standard for lifting on an ethnu: equal with a funicular or on foot
Stopping on the east coast should concentrate on the narrow streets of Taormina and churches of skating – large by local standards of the city. By the way, from Katania, the ascent routes to the ethnu often start.
Naturally, include in your own schedule and trip to siracuse. An exceptionally interesting city and homeland of the great mathematician and scientist Archimedes.
But Messin tourist guides today It is not recommended to visit -Maybe in 100-200 years. The fault of this is a strong earthquake that happened in December 1908 and literally totally destroyed the old city.
But it may turn out to be a very interesting experience to travel to the Lipar Islands from the town of Milatsso. Fortunately, the “perfect” volcano stromboli rarely behaves calmly. And there is a job regularly throwing puffs of smoke!
