Family Vacation in September: Late Summer Sun and Sea in Sicily

September is a hidden gem for families visiting Sicily. While autumn begins in Central Europe, Sicily still enjoys full late summer with temperatures around 28 °C (82 °F), swimmable sea at about 25 °C (77 °F), and a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere.

Late summer by the sea – perfect for children

In September, beaches are much quieter than in the peak season—perfect for families with children to splash in the calm sea, collect shells, or enjoy long beach walks. Family-friendly shallow beaches include San Vito Lo Capo, Fontane Bianche, and Marina di Ragusa.

Festive experiences for the whole family

September is also a month of festivals in Sicily: village feasts, grape harvest festivals, and religious celebrations welcome everyone. Many events are ideal for families, featuring live music, parades, children’s activities, and authentic Sicilian food.

  • Sagra dell’Uva (Milo): A traditional grape festival in the Etna region, with grape stomping, parades, and tastings—fun for kids and adults alike.
  • Festa della Madonna Addolorata: Religious processions and festive markets take place in towns across Sicily during mid to late September.
  • Wine festivals in Val di Noto: While adults enjoy tastings and live music, there are also plenty of family-friendly spaces and children’s entertainment.
  • Cous Cous Fest in San Vito Lo Capo: An international culinary festival by the sea. Families can sample couscous dishes from around the world, enjoy beach concerts, street performers, and cooking shows with activities suitable for all ages.

Hiking, nature & culture in a gentle climate

The mild September weather is perfect for family-friendly excursions. Explore the natural beauty of Alcantara Gorge, walk through lava landscapes on Mount Etna, or visit archaeological parks like Selinunte—adventures for curious young minds!

Family-friendly vacation homes: space, comfort & flexibility

Our family-friendly vacation homes in Sicily offer spacious living, private pools, large gardens, baby equipment like highchairs and cots, and well-equipped kitchens for a relaxed, self-catered stay.

September: warm weather, authentic experiences

A September vacation in Sicily lets families enjoy the golden days of summer with fewer tourists and pleasant temperatures. Whether with toddlers or teenagers, the combination of beach time, cultural traditions, and delicious food makes Sicily an ideal destination for autumn getaways.

Make unforgettable family memories with the sun, sea, and Sicily’s vibrant traditions—September is the perfect time to do it.
