A charming seaside village in Sicily is offering British tourists an unforgettable three-day holiday for just €1 (87p) as part of a new initiative to revive local tourism.
Siculiana, a picturesque village located 18km west of Agrigento on Sicily’s west coast, has launched this unique scheme to attract visitors and showcase the beauty and culture of the region.
For just €1, which covers Sicily’s tourist tax, visitors will enjoy free accommodation, meals, and guided tours, all funded by the local tourism board.
The initiative is inspired by Italy’s famous €1 home schemes, designed to breathe life back into remote villages and boost the local economy.
To secure a spot, interested Brits must submit a creative video explaining why they deserve to win the holiday. Applicants can share their love for Sicily, their passion for Italian cuisine, or simply their need for a well-deserved break.
The application must be submitted in pairs, with participants required to be over 18. In the video, applicants must state their relationship (friends, family, or partners), along with their age, city of residence, and contact details.
The Siculiana Tourism Board will select winners based on creativity, originality, enthusiasm, and their desire to explore the village.
Ten lucky pairs will be chosen, with the winners announced on March 20th. The first group will enjoy their €1 getaway from April 4th to April 6th.
As part of the deal, the winning visitors will be required to create a video diary of their experience in Siculiana, which will be shared with the tourism board to help promote future tourism campaigns.
Known for its stunning coastline, rich history, and traditional Sicilian cuisine, Siculiana offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of tourist-heavy cities.
This initiative aims to introduce visitors to the village’s hidden gems while supporting local businesses and cultural heritage.
With the chance to explore this idyllic Sicilian destination for less than the cost of a cup of coffee, this offer is expected to attract thousands of applicants from the UK and beyond.
