Top reasons to make Sicily your Holiday destination

Sicily is the largest island off the Italian mainland, and offers the visitor not only exquisite beauty, boundless history, but also wonderful beaches to relax.

The province of Palermo on the northern side of the island has a splendid coast with beaches and rocky expanses, and also caters for sailing and other water sports in the beautiful sea.  

The centre of the city of Palermo boasts many historic buildings to visit including its cathedral that over the centuries has also served as a temple and a mosque reflecting the beliefs of previous invaders.

Mount Etna

The area of Catania is dominated by Europe's highest active volcano.  It is possible to walk to the top making use of some of the many walkable trails that pass through what is now an enormous nature reserve.  From the higher altitudes it is possible to see as far as Malta on a clear day.

Syracuse

The position of Syracuse on the eastern side of the island has resulted in it being occupied by the Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Swabians and Aragonese, all leaving their marks on the local architecture.  Allow your thoughts to run wild as you explore and you could find yourself moving through thousands of years of Sicilian history.

Ragusa

Among the many world heritage sites on Sicily is the ancient city of Ragusa built on a hill.  Originally dating from the 2nd millenium BC, a great deal of the city was destroyed by earthquake in 1693, and was subsequently re-built in the baroque style.
