Outdoor Activities
Sicily's outdoor appeal is all-encompassing - the favourable climate and variety
of landscapes mean you can pretty much do any outdoor activity that's imagin-
able in the Mediterranean. There is a wealth of coast and islands to dive and
snorkel from, if mere swimming doesn't suffice; a number of volcanoes (Mt Etna
and Stromboli being the main ones) to climb; and a range of regional parks to
trek and explore both on foot and bike. There's also birdwatching, skiing, and
World Heritage sites to hop around. You name it, you can do it.
