Safety

Sicily is generally safe for visitors, with low rates of violent crime and a well-established tourism infrastructure that welcomes millions of international guests annually. The island's major cities and resort areas maintain visible security presences, though travelers should exercise standard precautions in crowded tourist sites and markets in Palermo and Catania, where pickpocketing can occur. Remote archaeological sites and coastal roads, while breathtaking, require vigilance due to less frequent services and variable signage. Taylor's chauffeur service provides an additional layer of security and local expertise, with drivers who understand regional nuances and can navigate both urban centers and rural areas with confidence. We monitor routes in real time, avoiding any areas of concern and ensuring your journey proceeds smoothly. Our security service extends this protection further for high-profile clients, while our 24-hour support ensures assistance is always available. We recommend using our vehicles for evening transfers and inter-city travel, allowing you to experience Sicily's beauty without logistical concerns.

Connectivity

Sicily benefits from excellent air connectivity, with Catania-Fontanarossa Airport serving as the island's primary gateway and Palermo Airport providing comprehensive European and domestic links. Both airports offer year-round connections to major Italian cities, as well as seasonal international routes to London, Paris, Frankfurt, and beyond. The island's road network has improved significantly, with modern autostradas connecting major cities, though coastal and mountain routes reward travelers with spectacular scenery rather than speed. Catania-Fontanarossa, Sicily's busiest airport, lies just five kilometers from the city center, with transfers to Taormina taking approximately 45 minutes and Syracuse reachable within one hour via our chauffeur service. Palermo Airport sits 35 kilometers west of the capital, with transfers to the historic center requiring approximately 45 minutes, and connections to Cefalù and Trapani easily arranged. Both airports serve as ideal starting points for comprehensive Sicilian itineraries. Taylor's regional expertise extends beyond airports to encompass ferry connections to the Aeolian Islands, private yacht transfers, and overland journeys to lesser-known baroque towns and archaeological wonders. Our service ensures seamless connectivity across this magnificent island, whether your itinerary focuses on a single destination or explores Sicily's full diversity.

Weather

Sicily enjoys a classic Mediterranean climate, with hot, dry summers and mild, wetter winters that make the island a year-round destination for discerning travelers. The coastal regions benefit from sea breezes that moderate summer heat, while interior and mountainous areas, including Mount Etna, experience more pronounced seasonal variations and occasional winter snow at elevation. Spring, from March to May, brings temperatures ranging from 15 to 25 degrees Celsius (59 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit), with wildflowers carpeting hillsides and ideal conditions for exploring archaeological sites and coastal towns. Summer, June through September, sees temperatures climbing to 28 to 35 degrees Celsius (82 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit), perfect for beach clubs, evening passeggiatas, and open-air dining, though midday heat requires sun protection. Autumn, October and November, offers comfortable temperatures of 18 to 26 degrees Celsius (64 to 79 degrees Fahrenheit) and the grape harvest season, while winter months remain mild at 10 to 16 degrees Celsius (50 to 61 degrees Fahrenheit), with occasional rainfall but excellent conditions for cultural exploration without crowds. We recommend packing layers for evening coastal breezes and air-conditioned interiors, along with sun protection during warmer months. Whatever the season, Taylor's climate-controlled fleet ensures your comfort throughout every journey across this magnificent island.
