About Sicily
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, floating just off the toe of the boot of Italy. Several civilisations – Greeks, Romans, Normans, Arabs, Spanish, and French – have left their imprint on the island’s spectacular architecture, its language and customs, and its remarkable cuisine. Fresh fish, abundant fruit and vegetables, and fantastic wines make this a great destination for foodies! We’ve got a tasty selection of cheap hotels, B&Bs, hostels and apartments in Sicily at budgetplaces – all at prices you will savour!
Sicily boasts thrilling cities, breathtaking beaches, staggering ancient ruins, and a dreamy rural hinterland with forests and hills. Some of its satellite islands – like Pantelleria and tiny Panarea – have become ultra-fashionable boltholes for celebrity visitors. Sicily is one of the most volcanically active regions in Europe, and mighty Mount Etna or striking Stromboli still put on a dazzling nightly firework show. Start your holiday with a bang, and check out the eruption of cheap accommodation at budgetplaces!
