Marvel at the beauty and savor the cuisine on a luxurious Sicilian excursion
Travel to Sicily, the island just off the toe of Italy’s boot,with some of the best weather in the country, beaches where Italians themselves go for vacation, and freshly grown produce, Sicily is hard to beat. Head to the lively capital city, Palermo, where powerful architecture and Sicilian cuisine are on display. Visit Taormina for charming views, Catania with its famous fish market, the ruins of the Norman castle in Cefalu, and more.
Sicilian cuisine is unique, showing Arabic influences you won’t see elsewhere in Italy, such as the presence of couscous on many menus. Cannoli, a pastry shell filled with ricotta cheese, originated here and you’d be hard-pressed to find better, fresher seafood in Italy than in Sicily. The island also has some well-preserved Greek and Roman monuments, mile after mile of beautiful coastline, unique traditions, interesting wines, and a dialect so different from Italian it’s considered another language.
Inspiration for Your Sicily Vacation
As one of the most beautiful islands in the Mediterranean, Sicily boasts a landscape that is colorfully varied and breathtakingly diverse. For this, visitors can thank Mount Etna, the volcano whose eruptions created much of the island’s natural grandeur and are still a captivating feature of its landscape.
Hike on the volcano through the natural parks and take your pick of UNESCO World Heritage Sites to visit. In Agrigento, you can be transported to the 5th Century B.C. as you visit the Valley of Temples. Once at the center of learning and social influence, and now surrounded by olive groves, almond trees, and citrus orchards, the Valley of Temples is a site of historic importance and natural brilliance.
