Your Destinations —
The landscape of Sicily is beautiful and varied. In the north-east, Mount Etna, with its fertile slopes and valleys, supports a number of vineyards. In the south-east there are the beautiful forest-covered mountains; the landscape characterised by soft hills, with vineyards, olive groves, almond trees, citrus and the characteristic carob trees.
To the west the landscape becomes gentler with soft, rolling hills, and it is here one finds long sandy beaches. The weather is mild all year round and temperatures will not normally go below 15 degrees, even in the coldest months.
Explore all the island has to offer with our inclusive car hire.
There are numerous rocky coves offering extraordinary swimming and diving in Malta. Small boats take visitors to the Blue Grotto caves from the picturesque village at Wied iz-Zurrieq and there are watersports on offer at most beaches. Try a harbour cruise around Valletta or a boat trip to the stunning turquoise waters of Comino.
Valletta, the capital, is packed with historic sites, as well as some of the island’s best shops, markets and theatres, whilst the fortified city of Mdina is a warren of intriguing small alleys.
Why not take a boat trip over to Gozo? Gozo has a charming citadel towering over its capital, Victoria, but many of its villages too are impressive. Marsalforn and Xlendi are bustling summer resorts while the Inland Sea and Azure Window at San Lawrenz are picture-postcard perfection.
