Yes, there’s still winter chill in the air but soon enough, spring will awaken us and warmth will be back in our lives! I don’t know about you but I’m craving some sunshine and perhaps fancy a little April mini-break to warm me up for my summer holiday! I’ve always wanted to visit the beautiful island of Sicily. A romantic spring break among the island’s spellbindingly beautiful places will apparently make you fall in love forever, according to the articles I’ve been reading. I fancy staying in one of the villas with pools that are available on local websites such as www.wishsicily.com – they’re in great locations, so you can relax after long hours of going around while sipping wine by the poolside. Here are the most romantic cities to visit in Sicily.

Taormina – This town, built against the face of Mt. Tauro, has an allure of its own. You can get lost in the maze of tiny streets looking for the many beautiful antique palazzi, churches and monuments or wander in the amazing Trevelyan Gardens for a romantic afternoon stroll. The star attraction, the Greco-Roman amphitheatre gives every visitor the perfect location to gaze at Mt. Etna and at the bay below. Take the cable car to the beach below and visit Giardini Naxos and Isola Bella.

Ortygia – Soak up the happy atmosphere in the island of Ortygia and wander hand-in-hand with your partner along alleys as you pass by terracotta-walled Venetian-style palaces. This tiny island, with its mix of Medieval and Renaissance culture, will provide you a satisfying experience of monuments, mansions, churches, and piazzas. Get lost in the maze of streets and you might find yourself by the beach. Have lunch in one of the authentic local restaurants such as Trattoria La Foglia for a taste of delightful Sicilian cuisine.

Cefalù – In summer, you will definitely find this coastal resort town packed but springtime and the months before summer, it offers the perfect romantic getaway because of the quiet. You can walk along the narrow cobbled stones or frolic on sandy beaches without bumping against other tourists. It would feel like your own special place. In the evenings, enjoy strolling along the seaside after a day of going around town looking for its artistic, historical, and architectural wonders. While there, indulge in the culinary delights, choosing among its many excellent restaurants that offer delicious Sicilian cuisine.
