Sicily (
Sicilia) is a rugged and attractive island on the southern tip of
Italy, and is one of the country's 20 regions. It is separated from the mainland region of
Calabria by the 5 km
Straits of Messina. It can get very hot during the summer, so it is better to visit during spring and autumn, while it is still quite pleasant during winter.
