Sicily in August is very very hot, but with a dip in the pool or sea and a monster ice-cream,certainly cools the body temperature.
Today we booked our oun flights and accomadation to Sicily.
If we had have used a tour operator it would have cost 6400 euro for flights and hotel and car hire.
Booking everything ourselves, fights, accomadation and collection from airport to hotel ( taxi ) worked out at 2900 euro. We're over the moon and can't understand how tour operator's are allowed to charge these prices.
Hope this helps
