This also means that you can enjoy magnificent sunsets as the sun slowly descends into the sea in front of you, as well as cooling sea breezes, and daily refreshing dips in the sea. If you really want to get to know Sicily’s local culture, then staying on the outskirts of a town is also a good idea.
