Sicily

“The weather was fantastic and the Sicilian people are lovely, they simply can’t do enough for you.

“We took an excursion to Mount Etna, which I would definitely recommend – very much a bucket-list trip. Another resort we visited, and that we thought was wonderful, was Taormina. It has a really special atmosphere and there are picture-postcard views from the main square. Siracusa is another must-see place.

“Public transport is excellent and it’s easy to get around. There are plenty of beaches and sporting activities available, and the food and drink are amazing.

“Direct flights from Leeds Bradford take just three-and-a-half hours, so it’s very straightforward to get to. The best time to visit is between May and October, which is when the weather is warmest.”

The Travel Lounge is at 11 Market Place, Bedale.
