All about Sicily

Like its unique southern Italian cuisine, Sicily bursts with colours and flavours. There’s the glowing lava-red of Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, and the honey-coloured stone of its baroque palazzos and churches. There’s the sparkling blue of its waters, some of the clearest and warmest in the Mediterranean; the golden sand of its beaches; and the dazzling white cliffs of the Scala dei Turchi — not to mention its rainbow of orange, lemon, olive, and almond groves.

For centuries, myriad civilisations have converged on the largest Mediterranean island, leaving behind world-renowned landmarks, from the Greek remains of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento to the Roman mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale; its 12th-century palaces and cathedrals combine Norman architecture with Byzantine style, none more vividly than Palermo’s gorgeous Cappella Palatina. Its markets evoke the scents and sounds of North Africa, while its precarious medieval hilltop villages might remind you of Tuscany, but the dialects spoken here are all their own.

What are the top things to do in Sicily?

Cefalù

If you want a little taste of everything that makes Sicily special, this is the place. A beach town whose long sweep of white-sand beach is edged with turquoise-blue water, Cefalù is backed by the imposing cliff of La Rocca, at the foot of the beautiful Madonie mountain range. Don’t leave without checking out its UNESCO-protected cathedral, an exemplar of Arab-Norman architecture and Byzantine mosaic.

The Aeolian islands

If Sicily offers a slower pace of life than mainland Italy, this string of seven islands off the northeastern coast is where even Sicilians go to slow down. The natural wonder of Stromboli and Vulcano’s volcanic craters and black-sand beaches are just part of the appeal. Panarea has become a retreat for the rich and famous, while Alicudi is so quiet that the only way to get around is by donkey.

Val di Noto

This southeastern region of Sicily is unique for its towns which dazzle with late-baroque architecture. Built after a major earthquake in 1693, the exuberant facades and stately piazzas of Noto, Modica, Ragusa, and Scicli are now an ultra-elegant place to shop, dine, and stay.
