Best Areas (to purchase properties in Sicily)

As for apartments in the city centre, three cities in particular are advisable:
Catania is the liveliest city and its economy is developing quickly; Palermo is the capital of Sicily, full of magnificent historical buildings; Siracusa is a very nice historical town. All of them are located by the coast and are surrounded by nice seaside and countryside locations.

As for seaside resorts, Taormina is the most exclusive. Everything there is very expensive, but you can rent properties for a high price. The same thing can be said for the Aeolian Islands - a chain of islands just off of the North Eastern coats of Sicily. The Eastern coast is the liveliest and it’s developing in terms of tourist income. Advisable is also the coast near Palermo. Other locations around the cost are cheaper, because less developed, but still very beautiful.

For the most part, it's drier in Sicily than in North America, so high temperatures don't seem as bad because the humidity is lower. On islands, temperatures can stay in the 90s (30s Celsius) for days, but nights are most often comfortably cooler.
