Campervan Rental in Sicily

Motorhome Rental Sicily

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is a pearl to be explored from top to bottom. It is a land rich in history, but also in natural and architectural beauty. What is most striking is the majesty of archaeological sites such as the Temple of Concordia, an almost completely preserved Greek temple near Agrigento. Here you will find some of the most evocative beaches in Italy, such as those of the Zingaro Nature Reserve, with splendid cliffs overlooking the sea. Finally, we recommend taking a tour when you hire a motorhome in Sicily around Palermo, Taormina and Agrigento, where you can immerse yourself in ancient history and art.

Gastronomy

Sicilian cuisine is one of the oldest and most complex in the country, full of flavours rooted in popular traditions. The symbol of Sicily is the Sicilian cannoli, the famous rolled fried dough wafer filled with fresh ricotta. Another food much loved by the locals is the arancino, a very tasty cone of stuffed, breaded and fried rice. Among the starter dishes, we recommend trying pasta alla Norma and pasta with sardines, typically Palermo. Finally, to end with a flourish, try the liqueur called Fuoco dell'Etna.
