Noto, the ‘Infiorata’
One of the destinations for a spring break in Sicily is Noto. Beyond the sumptuous Baroque, in May the town is full of magic with the famous Infiorata. This year the event is scheduled from May 19th to 23rd, the 44th edition will be dedicated to cinema and will once again take place in the traditional Via Nicolaci, that will be decorated with a carpet of flowers ready to draw evocative images of the big hits seen at the movie theater.
Sailing the Aeolian Islands
People who love the sea will book their trip to the Aeolian Islands. The 7 sisters of the Tyrrhenian Sea show their charm in spring, still free from summer chaos. The verdant hills of Salina, the sulphurous waters of Vulcano, the stark rock of Stromboli, the vibrant Lipari, Panarea in white and blue, the whispers of Alicudi and Filicudi…a tour hard to forget. Dimensione Sicilia, for example, from June 3rd to September 23rd is ready to set sail once again aboard a gulet for an 8-day cruise with their guests.
