Sicily Italy hotels, itineraries, and inspirational travel ideas.
The Trinacria of the ancient Greeks, the culture of the Normans and the influence of the Arabs. An island volatile and vibrant like its sea, its volcanoes and its people.
A sun drenched island with a splendid coastline and a landscape rich in contrasts, Sicily is a compendium of the greatest civilisations and cultures of all time, a book the pages of which filled with centuries of history and art. The Greek cities of Sicily: Agrigento, Selinunte, Segesta, and Syracuse, were among the most beautiful of the Hellenic world. Thousands of years later, today’s visitors can still admire the Valley of Temples at Agrigento or watch a summer performance in the great Greek Theatre of Syracuse. The same concoction of Mediterranean cultures which has influenced the course of the island’s history, has made its way in to the kitchens of Sicily, resulting in a delicious and extremely varied cuisine.
