Spring/Easter Breaks in Sicily

The beautiful island of Sicily is just a 3 hour flight from the UK, distinctive in both its history and culture (despite its close proximity to the Italian mainland) and offers even seasoned travellers a unique and memorable taste of the Mediterranean. Sicily has a longer warm weather season than other parts of Italy with spring starting early, the ground carpeted with wild flowers as early as February yet being cooler than the summer month, March and April are ideal for sightseeing.
