Sicily

Strategically situated between the toe of Italy and Africa and influenced by a fascinating range of cultures, the island of Sicily has a natural beauty that is truly breathtaking. The landscape is rich and diverse, ranging from picturesque coastal resorts with stunning beaches to the dramatic slopes of Mount Etna, Europe's largest active volcano. All over Sicily you will find historical sites that hint towards the island’s rich and diverse past. Evidence of Roman, Byzantine, Islamic, Catalan, and Greek influences, to name just a few, are still visible in abundance across the island.

Taormina is an ideal base to visit, with daily excursions, most parts of Sicily, including the stunning Aeolian Islands (UNESCO World Heritage site), the baroque towns of the Val di Noto (Caltagirone, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa, all UNESCO WH sites), Siracusa and its historical centre Ortigia (UNESCO WH site), Villa Romana del Casale with its mosaics (UNESCO WH site), Agrigento with its Greek temples (UNESCO WH site)… thousands of years of history in one island!

Sicily is also renowned for its fabulous food and fine wine (it has more vineyards than any of the other Italian regions) while its superb Mediterranean climate with mild-to-warm winters and warm-to-hot summers make the island an ideal all-year round destination. However you choose to spend your time- at rest, enjoying la dolce vita or in gentle exploration- memories of this wonderful island will stay with you forever.
