How to Study Abroad in Sicily
Sicily is a large volcanic island off of Italy’s western Coast, surrounded by the majestic Mediterranean and Ionian seas. The province of Messina, which lies on Sicily’s eastern coast, is home to many of the island’s most beautiful sights, including the historic town of Taormina and the stunning volcano, Mount Etna.
As Sicily is an island, it experiences various microclimates depending on elevation and location. Inland weather is warmer and drier, the mountains are cooler, and the coast breezy but sun drenched. During the winter months (December until February), temperatures average between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. But, up in the mountains there will be snow. If you plan to visit Sicily during the winter, an exciting ski trip on Mount Etna might lie in your future. Early fall, September and October, are great months to visit Sicily. Enjoy the miles of beaches and wonderful weather, without the crowds of the peak August vacation season. November brings rain and perfect growth conditions for Sicily’s abundance of rich, delicious and rare mushrooms.
Packing Advice
If you are headed to Sicily for the summer season, be prepared with all your beach and summer essentials. Pack comfortable sandals to walk in, as the steep streets of Taormina are but coble stone relics from the Greco-Roman times. Don’t forget, as you increase elevation the mountainous regions of Sicily can become cool, so bring a light jacket or sweatshirt for an excursion to Etna. In the winter season, bring a raincoat, long pants, and long sleeves. But remember, unless you are skiing or hiking the more mountainous regions, coastal areas stay mild through the winter, so a parka and boots is not necessary. Dress for fall with pants and light sweaters.
