Spring is a lovely time to visit Sicily with pleasant temperatures (15–25°C) blooming landscapes, and fewer crowds. Autumn is also an excellent time as the warm weather of summer persists but the crows thin out making both times of year excellent for exploring historical sites, hiking and sightseeing.
Winter has a tranquil atmosphere and mild temperatures (10–15°C) and is perfect for cultural and historical exploration, such as the Baroque towns of Noto and Modica. Skiing is also possible on Mt Etna in the cooler months. However some coastal attractions and restaurants may be closed.
