If you’re looking for a family beach holiday, look no further than sensational Sicily. Stunning beaches with soft sands and clear shallow Mediterranean water await. Spend your days lounging in the sunshine while the little ones build sandcastles to their heart's content, or hit the water with fantastic watersports. 

Adventure lovers in the family will love a trip to the mammoth Mount Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Whether you want to hike or take the whole family on a 4x4 extravaganza, Mount Etna is an absolute must while on holiday in Sicily. 

Just north of Mount Etna, the Alcantara Gorges are waiting to be explored. Carved out of basalt rock by volcanic activity, the rock pools and waterfalls are simply incredible. If being surrounded by sky high gorges sounds good, a trip to Gorge Beach is in order. Swimming here is amazing, but can be pretty chilly, so best for summer holidays in Sicily.
