Spring may still be a skip away but for those craving the feel of sun on their skin, Europe is brimming with winter sun hotspots. For a sizzling escape, experts at eurochange hailed Sicily as the place to be for the ultimate winter sun experience last year. Think pristine beaches, scoopfuls of brioche con gelato and a treasure trove of ancient wonders. In balmy February, Sicilian thermometers can hit a blissful 20 degrees – talk about perfect timing for an Italian winter sojourn. Holidaymakers can either bask in the coastal charm of spots like Mondello or soak up the city vibe in bustling Palermo.
A eurochange spokesperson said: "For those who want to sample an Italian city break with fewer crowds, Palermo should be top of the list. "Situated on the north-west coast of Sicily, the southernmost island in Italy, it's a perfect winter sun destination. Palermo offers city break and beach holiday vibes, with plenty of gorgeous beaches and cute seaside towns just a short drive from the city centre.
"Spend your days meandering the cobbled streets, exploring the stunning Gothic architecture and the many churches and cathedrals." They added: "No Italian city break is complete without sampling the local cuisine of course, and in Palermo, the arancini is a must try.". While you're there, don't pass up on the famed brioche con gelato - a dessert that's become a symbol of the island's sweet life, reports the Express.
