Carnival in Sicily, as in many other parts of the world, means happiness. Masks, confetti and streamers are everywhere together with a lot of music. Almost every town organizes something for carnival.
The Easter period is probably the best to visit Sicily. The climate is mild and the countryside is full colored flowers. Also, during the Holy Week, in the sicilian towns, revive very ancient and pituresque traditions. Every town has its own tradition: religious re-enactments, processions with religious symbols, ritual prayers. A lot of tourists visit Sicily to see the Easter traditions.
The only downside is the high number of visitors and consequently full booked hotels and plenty of visitors at the main monuments.
