Closer to this beautiful island, with its breathtaking landscapes, its mountains, valleys and plains…

Its cliffs and beaches with crystal clear, warm water, its offshore islands, its active volcanoes, the heart-stopping scenery of the interior….

Come closer to the age-old towns and villages, each with a tale to tell….

Closer to the many spectacular ancient Greek theatres, at Taormina or Syracuse, or the superb temples at Agrigento, Segesta and Selinunte, only rivalled by those in Greece itself….

Closer to the quirky Baroque architecture of southeast Sicily….

Closer to the mouth watering Sicilian cuisine….

And come closer to the Sicilian people, quite different from all other Italians, hospitable, proud and always ready to laugh, even at themselves…..

Like a bridge between Europe and Africa, Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and the southernmost part of Italy. It is mostly hilly, with spectacular scenery, both in the interior and along the coast. The fertile soil, mild climate and its strategic position  made it an attractive place for invaders, leading to a long and complicated history, traces of which can be seen in the numerous Greek and Roman archaeological sites, while Arab, Norman, Spanish and Baroque styles contend for your attention in the towns.

Dominating Sicily is Mt Etna, Europe’s largest active volcano, and the highest mountain on the island, consisting of hundreds of craters, of which five are still active.
