The capital of the island, Palermo, is a short drive from several fantastic beaches. Here you’ll find the Palazzo di Normanni (Palace of the Normans), which is home to the Cappella palatine, a gorgeous example of Byzantine mosaics. Or take in a show at Teatro Massimo, one of Italy’s most prominent opera houses—it was even featured in The Godfather.
Majestic Mount Etna, a Sicilian landmark, is the largest volcano in Europe. No tour of Sicily is complete without a guided tour of this magnificent volcano. Taormina, a small town clinging to the undulations above the Ionian Sea, offers astounding views of Mount Etna. Enjoy the many winding alleyways and quaint village squares here.
Sicily is also home to numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Noto, the “most beautiful Baroque town in Sicily,” and Modica, the “town of the 100 churches.”
Mmm ... pizza. Although Sicilian cuisine is predominantly based on Italian cooking, the food also has Spanish, Greek and Arab influences. Enjoy tantalizing antipasti, followed by fresh manicotti and couscous al pesce (Trapani). Wash it all down with delicious Limoncello, a popular (and strong) lemon liquer often pared with Sicilian dishes. Finally, cleanse your palette with fresh gelato or sorbet, an Italian ice dessert.
The climate and soil in Sicily are ideal for growing grapes, primarily due to Mount Etna. The tradition of wine making in Sicily dates back to a time when the Greeks set up their first colonies on the island. Today, all provinces of the island produce wine.
