  Sant'Agata in Catania

  2月3–5日宗教節慶人潮多

  An hour north, Catania's patron-saint feast is among the largest Catholic processions anywhere: devotees in white haul the saint's silver reliquary through the streets from the morning of 5 February into the next day. An easy day trip by train. 來源 ↗

• 假期

  Holy Week

  3月29日–4月6日人潮多

  Spring bank-holiday bridges

  4月25日–6月2日國定假日人潮多要早訂

  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. 來源 ↗

• 季節

  Winter quiet

  11月1日–3月31日 · 通常淡季歇業

  Once the sea cools, the beach clubs south of the city close, boat trips around Ortigia run only on calm days and some seasonal restaurants shut. Ortigia itself stays lived-in, and rooms are far easier to find.

人潮高峰 — Santa Lucia、義大利的Christmas holidays

• 節慶

  Santa Lucia

  12月13–20日宗教節慶人潮多

  The city's own saint. On 13 December the silver statue is carried out of the cathedral and across the bridge to her basilica, and nobody in Syracuse eats bread that day, only cuccia. 來源 ↗
