We went to Sicily in March and it was warm enough. For a real experience
try
to get to Vulcano or Stromboli for a few days. Stromboli has a nice safe
usually active vulcano and black sand.


Always wanted to do so. And UK papers are now advertising an 8 days
package
in the Aeolian Isles for £399. OK - it's a package. But looks like an
effective and economical (flights, transfers, hotel, half-board) way in
which to 'do' the volcanoes.

There is not much accommodation on Vulcano or Stromboli. We were very lucky
not to be sleeping on the beach. The journey to the islands can be quite
rough.
