Ultimate 7-Day Sicily Itinerary

One week in Sicily might not feel like long enough to experience this Italian island fully. But with this ultimate itinerary, your vacation in Sicily will be unforgettable.

Once you’ve arrived in Catania, I recommend that you first rent a car. Once you’re sorted with your ride, you’re ready to start your grand adventure.

DAY 1: ARRIVE IN CATANIA

The buildings that surround the central piazza are quite a sight, and it’s a central spot to do some proper exploring.

EXPLORE THE PIAZZA DEL DUOMO

Next, head to the Roman Amphitheatre. It’s only a 10-minute walk from the Piazza, and an interesting route too.

VISIT THE ROMAN AMPHITHEATRE

This popular street has tons of shops where you can find beautiful Italian-made clothing, shoes and jewellery.

SHOP IN VIA ETNEA

This will be a day of exploring, so a decent slathering of sunscreen and a water bottle are also sure to come in handy.

DAY 2: HIKE ETNA VOLCANO AND VISIT TAORMINA

It’s one of the most famous bars in Catania for granita, which is a traditional Sicilian frozen sweet.

HAVE BREAKFAST AT SPINELLA BAR 

The landscape is otherworldly, it feels like walking on the moon. Coupled with this lunar landscape is the sea in the distance, making for a fascinating view.
