10Sicily, Italy


Sicily’s southern latitude gives it one of the warmest climates in Europe. The island’s winters feel more like spring elsewhere—Palermo and Syracuse average around 17°C in January, with plenty of sunshine.

You can wander through citrus-scented streets, visit ancient temples in Agrigento, or relax by the sea in Taormina. The island’s volcanic heart, Mount Etna, adds dramatic scenery, while coastal cafés serve espresso and cannoli outdoors even in midwinter. Sicily’s warmth is more than just temperature—it’s a way of life.
