| | October in Sicily... you've got to pick an olive or two! |  October in Sicily is olive-picking time. The resulting oil is highly aromatic, fruity and absolutely divine when mopped up with a little crusty white bread... Stay at one of our properties in October (the week of 26th Oct is UK half-term) and we'll be happy to arrange for you to witness or take part in the olive oil-making process. At the end you will, of course, get your very own bottle of top quality olio... A great experience and a great souvenir to take home! Family villas in Sicily for October UK half-term >>

| | Sicilian recipe time - Insalata alla Palermitana |
 One of the great things about going to your local greengrocer or heading down to the markets in Sicily are the enormous vats of boiled new potates and green beans and trays of oven baked onions ready to be eaten! This month's recipe is a classic Palermitan salad using these pre-cooked ingredients. It's particularly popular in the summer and really easy to make, even if you have to cook your own vegetables! Try this and dozens of other Sicilian recipes >>

| As the summer mellows into September... | 
|
| ... Sicily is the place to be! | September in Sicily is a soothing, calming month, after the excitement of the summer. Local families head back to their jobs and schools and the island has a more relaxed feel. The weather is, some say, at its very best, the sea retains the warm glow of the hot August sun and the beaches begin to empty. All months have their charms, but September in Sicily is hard to beat... Call us now on +44 (0) 20 7377 8518 or, toll free from the US and Canada, on 1-800-490-1107. Or just drop us a line at info@thinksicily.com.
