- After visiting almost EVERY corner of the gorgeous island and creating a complete series of 30 episodes, here are our Top 10 Things to do in Sicily!
From the lush rolling hills of the windy west to the vibrant volcanic islands, Sicily is packed with an endless amount of things to do & see! Sicily, or Sicilia, is in Southern Italy and is the largest and one of the most densely populated islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Being subjected to centuries of invasion and conquest, the island is a melting pot of cultural influences, resulting in a beautiful array of architecture, art, and cuisine!

Great job on Sicily... so much to do and see!
Thank you so much! 🥰 and yes, there really is! 😍
You guys have inspired me to get in touch with my universities Study Abroad program so that I don’t have to wait until graduation to travel. If things go well, I should be going to Italy next year! Keep up the great work guys!
Ahh that’s awesome Dawsyn! We are so happy to hear that 😍 I (Micha) did a study abroad program in Rome during university & it was one of the best experiences of my life! You won’t regret it 💯
Good job guys!! Beautiful summary video.
Aww thank you, Ale! 🥰
Brilliant as always!!! ❤️

Great video. Will save to refer to if we get to Sicily again. Looking forward to your Tuscany trek. Love you two.
Thank you so much, grandma Bev! 🥰❤️
Love this. Sicily is awesome. If in Taormina, hike up and down from Castemola, it's a great and scenic time.
You guys inspired me to go there. Traveling for the first time alone. I’m going there in May. Thanks for your great content 🙌🏼
Aww thank you so much, that means a lot to us! 🥰 and that’s so exciting, we hope you have an incredible time!!😍🇮🇹

I’m here now brotha, truly is amazing. Your gonna kill it when your out here, I wish you a safe travels.
I really hope to visit Sicily some day. My grandparents were born in a small town northeast of Sciacca and came to the US many years ago. Your videos are fascinating.
I absolutely love what you do and the life-affirming joy of your vids ☕🍧😊
Aww thank you so much for your kind words, that truly means a lot to us, and we are so happy you enjoy our videos! 🥰
I was born in Sicily, my family moved to England for 5 years then we moved to the USA. I have returned to Sicily several times and for so long it's gotten a bad reputation but you have done a good job of showing all it's splendor. Taormina is one of my all time favorite cities. I love how Sicily has become more popular. Can't wait to see your next region.
Aww thank you so much for your kind words, Rosetta! 🥰 We are thrilled that you are enjoying our videos, Sicily really is unlike any other place! 😍 What part of Sicily are you from? 🤗🇮🇹
Excellent list. Loved the video!
Thank you so much, we’re so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰

Aww thank you so much, we are so happy you found it helpful! 🥰 June is a great month to visit! 🤗🇮🇹
Grazie per il vostro video! I'm going to Italy to visit relatives in Napoli this summer, then putting 3 weeks aside for Calabria and Sicily!
Also, how come you guys didn't visit Favignana (Egadi islands) only a short ferry from Trapani? Weather wasn't great? I heard the water is running there!
Buon Viaggio!
The Sicily is so beautiful 😍
It really is! 😍
Hey cool video! I‘m in two weeks in Sicily for the first time and I’m very excited 🥰 How is the weather there in April?
Ahh that's so exciting, BK! 😍 The weather in Sicily in April is a mix - some days are warm and sunny, other days it is windy and rains. So just keep an eye on the weather app and we hope you have an amazing trip! 🇮🇹
Nice!👏🏻👏🏻
After seing this... next trip: Sicilia!
We fully support this idea! 😍🥰

Elaaaaa
Hey you two! do you have an itinerary of your Sicily trip somewhere?!
Sicily is one of the most interesting place on the face of the earth. I want to see the Stromboli volcano at night while it is erupting.😍
I really enjoyed your video. 👌🏼
Great channel. 🤝 ⭐️
Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼🇦🇱
Ahh thank you so much for your kind words, that means a lot to us & we’re so happy you enjoyed it! 🥰
Hey, Want to visit Sicily because of your vid. How many days should I stay so I can visit all the places you listed?
the most beautiful island of the world
We completely agree, Michele! 😍
@@TheGlobalExpats it just has everything
Beautiful honesty!😇😇😇💖💖💖🕊️🕊️🕊️⛲⛲⛲🌹🌹🌹
Thinking about moving here.
Great video! Just wondering if you fly into Palmero airport or where? x
Thanks Deirdre! 🤗 Yes you can fly into either Palermo or Catania! 🇮🇹
The best place to do sports also:) Fitt Rencsi from Sicily:)
Excellent video 👍 I subscríbe
Hey guys
For first what a amazing Video. Did you rent a car for the all time?
That Marsala wine indeed hits you in the face, I had 2 of them while it was 37 degrees 😅 . I was wasted for the rest of the day.
Hahaha we can now imagine how intense that must have been, Filip! 😂 But delicious and fun nonetheless! 😜
how many days will i need to properly explore silicy?
Would you suggest visiting Syracuse , Ortigia & Noto or Aeolian Islands, if I could only do one in the time I have?
Hard to choose, I am from Messina and I would go to the aeolian islands or to Noto, but there's a big BUT: if you go to aeolian islands make sure you visit Milazzo (where you take thr boat to the islands) and it's castle and black beaches.
If you choose Noto make sure you visit the entire Val di Noto, so Modica and Ragusa too! They are splendid small town very close to each other and you could visit everything in 2 or 3 das!
Nice compilation, but in my humble opinion, one spot is missing for a top Sicilian list, Cefalu.
Ahh yes we agree Alfredo, and we will be including Cefalu in our other video on Top 10 places to visit in Sicily! 🤗 We wanted to climb to La Rocca in Cefalu when we were there, but we didn’t get a chance to do it - otherwise it probably would have been on this list of things to do!
Hai from Greece how long you stay and spend thanks
If you had one day spare would it be worth going, if so which island was the best??
the Villa Romana del Casale would be my number 1 on Sicily
Ahh yes that is also incredible to see, Eric! We are making a few different top videos & that will be in our “Unique Things to See in Sicily” video! 😍
Please do sardinia
very nice. Would be even better with better microphones and a room that is better for voice narration. Well done.
Glory Glory SICILY FC😂
Hey, did you make those drone shots yourself?
Hey Kasper, yes we did! 😊
@@TheGlobalExpats So you can legally fly in those places?
Did you guys go to Egadi Islands?
We went to the Aeolian Islands, but didn’t get a chance to go to the Egadi Islands! We hope to come back one day & see them, they look gorgeous! 😍
Beautiful Faculty of Italian English
Some years 2005 2008
Too bad that I haven t did meanwhile Master, PHD, MBA.. Just 14 years.. No pasa nada...
How much would a single person expect to spend in Sicily for a reasonably active week , eating out once or twice a day and doing a few tours ? Would 1 thousand euro be enough ?
Ciao Matteo. Anche io sono sposato con una americana e viviamo a miami. Stiamo per imbarcarci in un' avventura tutta italiana...avrei una domanda...in una puntata avete parlato di come tua moglie, non essendo Italiana, ma sposata con te, cittadino italianano, come me, ha dovuto prendere un visto di permanenza...corretto? Se potresti gentilmente indicare come avevte fatto te ne sarei super grato...GRAZIE e complimenti per la vs simpatitia and incredible dedication!
Hello from Villa Isabella, Pergusa Enna.....come visit
If you rent a car to self tour Sicily, how difficult is parking in the various cities/towns?
It definitely depends on what time of year you are visiting as well as where you are visiting. Summer is very busy and parking will be more difficult. It is highly advised to avoiding driving in cities such as Palermo and Catania 👌🏽 Check out our 'Q&A' video as there are a few resources we mention that can help with planning! czcams.com/video/yeTXQ8qGAOE/video.html
Which month did you go?
We filmed everything between June - November! 🤗
If you’re not a huge seafood fan, is Sicily challenging as far as eating is concerned?
Hey Joseph, nope, Sicilian food is not only seafood, they have a bit of everything! 🥰
You forget Siracusa, probably the most beautiful city in Sicily
Hey Alex, yes Siracusa is beautiful 😍 We actually mentioned it in our Top 10 Places to Visit in Sicily video, this was just about activities to do on the island 🤗 czcams.com/video/7842KsEbJcg/video.html
I just saw the comment😂😂
Marsala is famous for Mafia.. watch out.. but yes Sicilia is also for us no.1 ❤
🥰
and Siracusa?
It’s in our newest video on Top 10 Places to Visit in Sicily! 🤗🇮🇹
@@TheGlobalExpats im gonna check it! i hope you went to Ibla too :)
@@DAVENT16 We wish!! We spent a night there but it was during the "Medicane" last October, and everything was closed and flooding, so unfortunately we never got to see it 😭
@@TheGlobalExpats well if you get a chance to go there in the future, let me know!! :)
Looks a bit like peter andre
Is traveling in italy safe?
Yes! 🤗🇮🇹
Did the Italian government require any permits to bring/film with drone?
Why are residents leaving Sicily?
Isn’t it sicilya or Sicily
That should be pronounced “Sitchily”!
