But what are the most romantic destinations in Sicily where you could spend a couple’s weekend?
Fiumefreddo di Sicilia
The most romantic place in Sicily is located in the province of Catania, precisely in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia. The square “del Bacio Sublime” (of the Sublime Kiss) is named after Francesco Hayez, the artist who painted “The Kiss”, an iconic work of Italian Romanticism. The floor depicts two lovers kissing, accompanied by the incredible backdrop of Mount Etna towering over the landscape. In addition to this iconic location, staying in Fiumefreddo di Sicilia will allow you to enjoy a crystal-clear sea while being close to the beautiful Catania with its Baroque, Art Nouveau and Roman influences.
Terrasini
Another one of the most romantic destinations in Sicily, though less known, is Terrasini. Located near Palermo, it is a place that exudes romanticism. In fact, its promenade has become a stage for countless works of art inspired by love. This destination is ideal for spending a romantic weekend in Sicily, thanks to its crystal-clear sea and lovely beach where you can enjoy your summer days under the sun. It is located a few kilometres from the enchanting Palermo, a city not to be missed by anyone visiting the Island. Here, Baroque history comes alive and Sicilian cuisine stands out in all its glory.
Ortigia
Another enchanting location in the province of Syracuse is Ortigia, the oldest part of the city of Syracuse, a tiny island allowing for a very intimate stay, ideal for couples looking for romance. The best way to visit this area is to stay in or near Syracuse, perhaps choosing a sea-view resort, such as VOI Arenella Resort, which will make your stay even more romantic.
Narrow streets, small old-fashioned shops, local market: everything in Ortigia will provide a true Sicilian experience, where you can immerse yourself into the life of local people.
Tindari
Tindari is a fascinating town that incorporates myth, culture, art and dreamy landscapes on a coastal promontory overlooking the Tyrrhenian Sea. The most romantic location here is certainly the Olivieri Lagoon (also known as Tindari), an incredibly stunning beach characterised by a salty lake-like environment. The town itself is truly picturesque, full of attractions such as the necropolis of Tindari located in the same place where the homonymous sanctuary stands today. An ideal place to spend a couple’s weekend, thanks also to its wonderful accommodation facilities such as VOI Baia di Tindari Resort, which will definitely take your relaxation to the next level.
Aeolian Islands
From Stromboli to Salina, from Lipari to Vulcano, from Panarea to Alicudi and Filicudi. The Aeolian Islands are the perfect destination for a couple’s weekend or holiday. This is where the frenzy of the outside world is locked out, this is where you will forget about your phone, making space for thoughts, love, slow life.
What better destination for a couple’s holiday in Sicily than one of these heavenly islands where time seems to stand still?
Don’t forget to visit Remigio for a granita, then Alfredo for pane cunzatu (seasoned bread) and then head straight to Pollara at sunset.
