October vacations in Sicily

In Sicily, holidays in October are a really smart choice: B&B and vacation rentals are cheap and the Mediterranean climate allows you to fully enjoy the beautiful beaches!

To start your day with the right charge, ask your B&B in Catania for a typical breakfast: a glass of almond milk and a freshly baked brioche. For lunch, you could eat a tasty dish of pasta with sardines in the Catanese style, or order a fish soup in one of the restaurants along the coast. If you love sweets, by spending your holidays in October in Catania you will be in the right place: from cookies with almond paste to the traditional cannoli with ricotta cheese, the choice is really wide!
