The best packing lists for Sicily

Sicily is a high mountain with a beach wrapped around it. In summer the drive up Etna takes you from 30 degrees at the coast into single figures, and the summit is covered in sharp volcanic grit that destroys soft shoes in a day.

Good to know for Sicily

May to September runs hot and dry, and the scirocco adds humid air and African dust on top. Winters are mild, but November to February delivers serious rainfall and old buildings are poorly heated.

The temples at Agrigento and Selinunte stand out in the open without a tree or a roof in sight. A hat, sunglasses and a full water bottle matter more there than the camera.

Palermo and Catania mean narrow lanes over worn paving. The currency is the euro and markets prefer cash; the tap supply is treated and mostly used for cooking, while drinking water usually comes from a bottle.

Lists from other travellers

Public packing lists, best rated first. Ratings and copies by other travellers decide the order.
