In the video, I wrongly said the town of Mondello, when instead Mondello is a neighbourhood of Palermo, 8-12km from the city centre

We just visited Sicily in February. We stayed in Catania, Agrigento, Terrasini. We visited Siracusa, Etna, Palermo, Trapani, Cefalu. We absolutely loved the island.

We just spent last Christmas in Sicily for a month. Blue sky 23 days in a row! Lots of cheap high-quality tangerines. Olive picking season is in October, so we missed it this time. We have family in Agrigento so make these day trips to various mountaintop towns and villages like Enna and Assoro. They all have a castle or ruins of a castle at the very top. The year before we took the high-speed hydrofoil ferry boat from Palermo to the island of Ustica, an extinct volcano. Rented a farm house that had 5 acres of ripe tomatoes. Cliffs dropping down to the water was about 80 yards away. Visibility underwater was maybe 200 feet during summer. You can rent those electric bikes and go round and around this 5 km long island, with many cliffs.

[YouMeandSicily]

Sorry but 2:30 in the picture is Ortigia in the Province of Siracusa not Trapani and for sure not San Vito lo Capo. I do agree with most of your suggestions for 7 best places including for sure Cefalu, which is on top of our list! San Vito lo Capo to stay not so much for a few day, its ok for a day trip.
