Sicily —
The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily is bursting with wonderful food, ancient ruins, and a dreamy coastline.
With so many cultures having passed through this island, it’s not just Italian culture you can experience but also Greek, Byzantine, and Habsburg influences. Nowhere is this clearer than in Palermo, the island’s capital, with its variety of religious monuments and cuisine, or the chic town of Taormina, with its ancient theatre - a rare treasure trove of Greek & Roman architecture.
In the northeast of the island, Mount Etna presides over the city of Catania, with its UNESCO-listed historic centre and grandiose palazzos. If you’re pining for a more relaxed stay, the fishing village of Cefalu is a wonderful spot, with plenty of vantage points for stunning coastal views and a variety of beaches with crystal-clear waters.
In the south of the island, Licata is a quieter, family-friendly destination with a tranquil beach and delicious fresh seafood.
