More about Sicily
Sicily is a land of extremes and contrasts, a magnification of all things Italian. With a wealth of archaeological gems, historic cities, and charming medieval villages to explore, you’ll want more than a few of days to take in all the island has to offer. This melting pot of Mediterranean culture is a colourful mosaic of tantalizing sceneries, a land of volcanoes, rolling valleys swathed in olive trees and vineyards, and miles of golden sandy beaches surrounded by exotic islands and sparkling seas.
Discover Sicily
Away from the vineyards, Sicily offers visitors a grand mix of attractions.
Nature
With the volcanoes of Etna, Stomboli and Vulcano and the Zingaro Nature Reserve to explore, fans of natural beauty will be spoilt.
Volcanoes play a significant role in Sicilian life, and if you are feeling adventurous you could go on a trek on Mount Etna or experience the continuous volcanic activity at Stromboli.
Those seeking a less strenuous activity could do worse than taking some time to relax on one of the island’s many fine beaches. Sandy stretches don’t come much more beautiful than the golden crescent of Cefalù, complete with medieval cathedral and palm trees. Alternatively, the bright-white cliffs that back up the beach at Scala dei Turchi are certainly worth checking out.
Archaeology
There are also numerous archaeological sites of interest, including the highly impressive Valley of the Temples (Valle dei TempliI), a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Agrigento. Other historical sites are the Neapolis Archaeological Park in Syracuse and the archaeological parks in Solunto and Segesta.
Take in the Greek and Roman majesty as you explore the temples and admire their legacy.
Towns
There are also many charming towns and villages to explore, including a stroll around the beguiling baroque architecture of Noto in the south-east of the island, or a trip to the famous fish market in Catania.
Zig-zag the pebbled streets of Ragusa Ibla and take in amazing views from Giardino Ibleo, get lost in the narrow lanes of Ortigia and admire temples, fountains and cathedrals.
Go west towards Marsala, which boasts a beautiful old town and a rich cultural heritage, and why not taste some Marsala wine. Further north, Erice rises on top of Mount Giuliano and delights visitors with its medieval buildings.
