  25 apr – 2 junNationale feestdagDrukBoek vroeg

  Liberation Day (25 April), Labour Day (1 May) and Republic Day (2 June) are public holidays, and when one falls near a weekend Italians bridge it into a long break, the ponte. Those weekends bring domestic crowds, fuller trains and higher room rates, and some shops close on the day. Bron ↗

  Tenders land at Giardini Naxos and Messina and the coaches come up the hairpins together, so the Corso and the cable car are worst between eleven and four and quiet by six.

  Opera, orchestras and touring acts play the Greco-Roman theatre through the summer, with the coast and the volcano behind the stage. Worth planning a date around rather than turning up for. Bron ↗

  Sea warm enough to swim

  The Ionian off Isola Bella and Mazzaro is warm from June to late October, and October days here still swim. Everything is pebble and it shelves away fast.

  The dearest fortnight of the Sicilian year, with Italians filling the town on top of the day-trippers. Parking above the old town runs out early and the shuttle queue is long. Bron ↗

  Snow on Etna

  The volcano usually holds snow from midwinter, which is the view Taormina is built around, and the two small lift areas at Nicolosi and Linguaglossa run when it does.
