Sicily
Sicily - the largest island of Italy and the Mediterranean - is a surprising land rich in history and traditions, where arts and cultures are intertwined. There are endless reasons to visit Sicily from the sea to the mountains, by way of the countryside and fishing villages. Sicily boasts numerous pearls: Taormina and its Greek theatre, Agrigento with the Valley of Temples as well as Greek and Arab-Norman testimonies. The triumph of the Baroque in the Noto Valley, Palermo and Catania, the fascination of Etna, the unsurpassed beauty of the Aeolian Islands, Trapani and the Egadi Islands, Lampedusa and Pantelleria. The list of not-to-be-missed experiences and places is very long but they all share an unforgettable food and wine offering, the result of history and ancient traditions. Sicily's very mild climate means you can stay by the sea for even ten months a year. And remember what Frederick of Swabia, King of Sicily, said: "I do not envy God’s paradise because I am so satisfied to live in Sicily".
