ABOUT THE AREA
Eternal crossroads of the Mediterranean, the gorgeous island of Sicily continues to seduce travellers with its dazzling diversity of landscapes and cultural treasures.
Seductively beautiful and perfectly placed in the heart of the Mediterranean, Sicily has been luring passersby since the time of legends. The land of the Cyclops has been praised by poets from Homer to Virgil and prized by the many ancient cultures โ Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Elymians, Normans, Romans and Greeks โ whose bones lie buried here. Whether itโs walking through the gates of Messina or gates of Catania in Taormina you will see ancient remnants and feel the victory and bloody defeat of many who seized and lost this desirable Territory. Or, travel the Island and witness the classical perfection of Agrigentoโs Concordia temple, the monumental rubble of Selinunteโs columns or the rare grace of a dancing satyr statue rescued from Mazara del Valloโs watery depths, reminders of bygone civilisations are everywhere.
A delectable layer-cake of culinary influences, Sicilyโs ancient cuisine continues to rely on a few key locally-grown ingredients: shellfish and citrus, tuna and swordfish, squash, pistachios, walnuts, almonds and ricotta. Talk to the creative chefs at any area restaurant and they may confide that they still use their family recipes for pasta alla Norma, Caponata or Cannoli. Modern chefs may play with the details, but Sicilyโs timeless recipes from the simplest ingredients live on. Sicilyโs varied landscape makes a dramatic first impression. Fly into Catania and the smoking hulk of Etna greets you; arrive in Palermo and itโs the sparkling Golfo di Castellammare.
This juxtaposition of sea, volcano and mountain scenery makes a stunning backdrop for outdoor activities. Hikers can wind along precipitous coastlines, climb erupting volcanoes and traipse through flowery mountain meadows; birders benefit from the plethora of species on the Africa-Europe migration route; and divers and swimmers enjoy some of the Mediterraneanโs most pristine waters. Whatever your personal predilections, Sicily and its dozen-plus offshore islands offer enough activities to build an entire vacation or life around.
As if its classical heritage werenโt formidable enough, Sicily is bursting at the seams with artistic and architectural gems. In a short walk around any of the major cities, youโll see Arab domes and arches, Byzantine mosaics and Norman palace walls. Circle around Sicily and youโll find a stunning array of baroque architectural masterpieces, from the golden-hued domes and palaces of Noto to the multi-tiered cathedral facades of Ragusa and Modica. Meanwhile, throughout the island, youโll find yourself stumbling upon the evocative remains of Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, French and Spanish castles. Cultural riches and remains are one of the islandโs most distinctive attractions.
