A trip to Sicily is always a good shout if you’re looking for a family-friendly, budget holiday which still packs a punch and with Virtu Ferries, the timing couldn’t be better! Everyone deserves a vacation, and if planned well, a quick Sicily holiday may be enjoyed by all the family without breaking the bank. That being said, here are five budget-friendly travel tips for you summer family holiday!

Plan wisely

One of the most upsetting surprises when travelling is the unnecessary costs brought about by lack of planning; which is why you should think wisely and plan ahead. From historical locations like the city of Agrigento to astounding natural beauties like the Isola Bella, planning a stop-by-stop trip which includes food stops will save your family time & money whilst allowing them to relax & enjoy the sights.

Visit the beaches

With these temperatures, a trip to the beach whilst on summer vacation is an absolute must and Sicily’s bombardment of beautiful bays & beaches make such visits an absolute no-brainer. Notable beachside landmarks are the enchanting town of Cefalù, the wondrous Scala dei Turchi and the awe-inspiring Vendicari Nature Reserve! So pack a budget-friendly lunch, have your caps and sunblock at the ready and enjoy your day!

Enjoy the street food

One of the best things about Sicily (and Italy in general) is the fact that it has arguably the best food culture in the world and with Sicilian food outlets aplenty & a select number of super cheap & tasty street food vendors, your tastebuds are in for the ride of their life. Taormina in particular is known the world over for its mouth-watering street food specialities such as pizza, panini, arancini and much more!
