Never been to Sicily, but been to Sardinia twice cheap flight with Ryannair never cost me more than £40 to get there. Stayed with friends, hired a car and what a lovely place. Italian Alps are also great. Dominican Republic is very pre-historic looking with fabulous beaches, and they did film some of Jurassic park there, when you get there it's easy to see why. Don't go unless you have an iron constitution, couldn't get my ex husband off the toilet for a fortnight.
