Discover Sicily Benvenuti a Sicilia or welcome to Sicily.
The Island of many contrasts and colours fiercely fought over down the centuries, living to tell the tale today through all its glorious battle scars, cast into the sea like a jewel. Sicily sparkles in the hot mezzagiorno sun off the southern boot of Italy, reminding us all the time, to travel a little bit further down the coast until we reach the straits of Messina Some 25,000 square kilometres Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, and even today you will find many areas of land that are uninhabited due to their rugged and exposed terrain. Over the years Sicily has found many different forms of fame such as the homeland of the Mafia and Europe’s most active volcano Etna to name but a few. Many films have been shot in and around the Island such as Francis Ford Copolla’s Il Padrino (The Godfather), as well as the films Stromboli and Il Postino( the postman), filmed out in the Aeolian Island of Salina and active Stromboli.  From mountain peaks to breathtaking coasts, UNESCO world heritage sites to some of Europe's best wines it's all squeezed into one Island.For people looking for a gastronomic tour, Sicily is home to some of the best seafood in the Mediterranean basin and historical dishes that have formed the backbone of the cuisine of this land. The hot southern sun produces rich ripe wines, which when tasted on a warm balmy night under a deep sapphire sky is sure to become a lasting memory. For those wanting room service 24/7 and large hotel complexes catering for every need, ultra modern facilities and english beer on tap then you will not find it in Sicily. What you will find is an authentic experience of Island life coupled with some awe inspiring sights, from Greek temples to Norman Cathedrals, Roman Villas to quaint hilltop towns. All this incorporated into some of the best food and wine you will taste in Southern Italy today. Come and join us on the Island of Trinacria, come to Sicily. |
