Visit Etna or the liparian islands!

The Italian island of Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is dominated by the majestic volcano Etna, which rises between many mountains and hills. It is the largest and most active volcano in Europe and is located in the east of the island. If you are interested in a special kind of hike, then you can take your hired car to the foot of the volcano. From there you can climb it either on foot or by cable car.

If this hike is too strenuous for you, visit one of the numerous nature parks or one of the coastal protected areas, such as Vendicari. There you can take a relaxed hike amidst beautiful landscapes.

In general, Sicily is ideal for exploring with a hired car. There are good roads that connect the most important cities. A trip around the island is also possible and will surely inspire you.

In addition to the capital Palermo, you should also visit one of the numerous mountain towns in the hinterland. They enchant the visitors with their very own charm and bring them closer to the culture and tradition of the island, far away from the tourist crowd. Perhaps you would like to visit one of the many temples or some ancient Sicilian monuments with your hired car? Particularly impressive are the Greek excavation sites of Agrigent, which already impressed Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Car hire in the Liparic Islands / Aeolian Islands

A group of islands to the north of Sicily is called the liparian or aeolian islands. It consists of several small islands, seven of which are inhabited. The most important of them is Lipari. You can reach the islands by ferry from Neaples or Milazzo. Please note that you can only drive your hired car on Lipari and Salina without restrictions. If you want to visit one of the other islands, it is best to leave your hired car in a guarded car park in Naples or Milazzo. Sicily and the Aeolian and Eolian Islands can be visited all year round. In order to avoid the hot Sahara winds, you should avoid August. The best time for bathing is in June, July or September to enjoy the warm Mediterranean Sea. For roadtrips and active holidays, early and late summer are worthwhile. But even in winter it is still mild enough to discover the Mediterranean islands.
