What people love about Sicily Tours in September
- Classical Sicily
This was a great tour! I loved the places we visited. Our guides were very knowledgeable. Our tour leader Mandy was the best I’ve ever had. The tour could have been one day longer to give us more time in Taormina.
- Sicilian Secrets - Tour of Sicily 6 days
Positives: 1) The tour itself was very good, the Sicilian countryside was beautiful as were the towns and sites visited – Noto, Valley of the Temples, Monreale and Palatine Palace in particular. 2) The visit to the Florio Winery in Marsala was excellent and the lunch provided was very good. 3) The chocolate tasting was fun and informative and the lunch at Osteria Sapori Perduti was excellent – best meal we had. 4) The local experts (Angelo, Stefania, Lorenzo and Marta) for the visits to the archaeological sites and Palermo walking tour were great. Very well-informed and passionate about their subject. 5) Our guide Irene was well-informed, cheerful and always on hand to help. 6) Hotel breakfasts were all good with plenty of choices. 7) Overall, the tour was good value for money. Negatives: 1) The hotels used are probably all 4-star rated but not all rooms in each hotel were at that standard. Some were very basic and extremely small for 2 people with luggage e.g. the “economy room” at the Mercure in Palermo. Luckily our guide, Irene, was able to intercede and get us something better. 2) The hotel dinners were a little disappointing. No choices were offered and all predominantly seafood. Thankfully Irene was able to get the hotel to provide alternates for those who didn’t or couldn’t eat seafood. Also, it seemed a little cheap not to offer free water at dinner. 3) On 2 occasions the bus dropped us a ways from our hotel and we had to drag our luggage to and from the hotel. Once in heavy rain. Maybe the hotels used should be bus accessible? 4) Our first tour meeting was a little chaotic as it seemed 2 other groups were having their meetings as well. 5) We only realized after we left the tour that the “Tasting of Local Street Food” on day 5 in Palermo never happened. A general observation – not a positive or a negative -there is a lot of walking on this tour with uneven surfaces, steps and steep hills. The bus tends to drop you in a parking lot a fair distance from any of the attractions you are going to visit. This tour is probably not recommended for everyone “12 to 90”.
Tour was very good organized. Tour guide Placido was excellent. The only problems were hotels. May be it would be the good idea to have options to pay extra and stay in better hotels or even rooms.

What our customers ask about Sicily Tours in September 2026
What are the most popular destinations to visit in Sicily Islands during September?
September presents ideal conditions to explore Sicily's premier locations. The crowds thin out at Taormina where the Hotel Villa Diodoro provides sea-view accommodations. Mount Etna tours benefit from excellent visibility while Syracuse and Palermo's historic centers become more navigable. A recent visitor shared on TourRadar "September was perfect for exploring Ortigia the little island was very manageable and Hotel Livingston was fantastic with breathtaking views." The archaeological wonders at Valley of Temples in Agrigento and the baroque architecture of Noto and Ragusa are particularly appealing during this time.
Are there any special food and wine events in Sicily Islands during September?
The September harvest transforms Sicily into a food and wine enthusiast's paradise. Visitors can join special harvest tours at historic establishments like Florio Winery in the Marsala region. Catania offers seasonal "granita & brioche" tastings while Modica showcases its chocolate craftsmanship at Sabadì. According to a TourRadar guest "The wine offerings were not just sips but full glasses and the food pairings at Etna wineries had the most inventive cuisine." Local experiences include honey tastings near Mount Etna and street food tours through Palermo's bustling markets.
What are the best UNESCO sites to visit in Sicily Islands in September?
September's moderate temperatures create perfect conditions for exploring Sicily's UNESCO heritage. The Valley of Temples in Agrigento takes on a special quality in the autumn light. Palermo's Arab-Norman treasures including the Monreale Cathedral and Palatine Chapel welcome visitors with comfortable temperatures. A recent visitor observed "The baroque cities of Noto Ragusa and Modica were breathtaking in September's light." The ancient mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale and Syracuse's Greek ruins offer rewarding visits in the gentler weather.
What are the accommodations like in Sicily Islands during September?
September visitors find a range of welcoming accommodations across Sicily. The Hotel Villa Diodoro in Taormina and Hotel Livingston in Syracuse offer Mediterranean views. A TourRadar guest noted "The hotels were all centrally located with excellent breakfast buffets." The Mercure Palermo Centro serves as a convenient base for city exploration while Catania's Il Principe Hotel places guests in the heart of the action. Air conditioning remains available in most 4-star properties though September temperatures moderate.
What unique outdoor activities are available in Sicily Islands during September?
The comfortable September weather opens up numerous outdoor possibilities. Mount Etna trails welcome hikers up to 1800 meters with clear views. The Mediterranean waters around Taormina and Syracuse remain warm enough for swimming and boat excursions. One traveler reported "September was perfect for combining morning sightseeing with afternoon beach time in Taormina." City walking tours through Ortigia and Palermo become more pleasant and wine enthusiasts can participate in the Marsala grape harvest.
Are the Aeolian Islands worth visiting in September?
The Aeolian Islands shine in September when sea conditions favor island hopping to Lipari Stromboli and Panarea. Guests at Hotel Bougainville in Lipari report calmer waters and optimal conditions for viewing Stromboli's volcanic displays at dusk. Swimming remains pleasant and the reduced tourist numbers create a more relaxed atmosphere than high summer months.
