Sicilian beautiful settings are perfect for lovers of outdoor activities. My top 10 outdoor activities in Sicily could help you choose the perfect activity for you while you explore Sicily!


1. Swimming

The crystal clear, unspoiled water off the coast of Sicily is lovely. The coastlines have sandy or pebble beaches, caves, and rock formations. There is something for all tastes!

 

2. Hiking

There are great hikes all over Sicily. Most of the nature reserves have marked trails. Plus, there are three volcanoes to explore!

 

3. Cycling

Cycling is a great way to sightsee. You also can explore small villages and nature reserves without harming the environment.

 

4. Watersports

In Sicily, you are spoiled for choice: diving, snorkeling, canoeing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and much more. You only need to ask us!

 

5. Boating

Exploring Sicily and its islands by boat offers the opportunity to enjoy time away from the hectic pace of the mainland, noisy cities, and pollution. 

 

6. Golf

There are several 18-hole courses in Sicily, some of them in stunning coastal locations. In addition, majolica offers long and short stays for golf lovers. 

 

7. Horse Riding

Explore the nature reserves on horseback. Establish a connection with nature and enjoy the breathtaking landscapes.

 

8. Quad Riding

For the more adventurous and lovers of off-road routes, it is possible to make excursions on quads. Get ready for fun.

 

9. Paragliding

Those who love adventure and adrenaline can not miss the view of spectacular panoramas from above! Tandem paragliding will take your breath away!

 

10. Skiing on Mount Etna

Sicily is not just sun and sea. In winter, Etna offers a beautiful setting for skiing and snowboarding. How about skiing on an active volcano?

Of course, there is still much more to do in Sicily, from yoga in spectacular settings to motorbike rides (which I love)! But, there are plenty of choices. So, if you are a sports and outdoor enthusiast, and want to explore Sicily with a pinch of adventure, contact an MJ Travel Consultant and start planning your memorable trip to Sicily!
