“Without Sicily, Italy creates no image in the soul: here is the key to everything.” -Goethe
There is no region more diverse, passionate, or with better food than Sicily! From majestic volcanic peaks and pristine Caribbean-like waters to stunning baroque architecture and ancient Greek theaters, Sicily has it all. The food and hospitality here are unmatched. As the birthplace of cannoli, eggplant parmigiana, legendary arancini, and pasta alla Norma, your culinary experience will reach new heights.
Sicily is also home to seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the baroque town of Noto, the island of Ortigia, the seven volcanic Aeolian Islands, and the Etna volcano—Europe’s most active volcano and the source of divine Etna Rosso and Etna Bianco wines.
If the mainland of Sicily isn’t captivating enough, the Aeolian or Egadi Islands just off its coast are beautiful beach getaways for those that want a relaxing trip, while still having the option for adventure. The Aeolian Islands (Isole Eolie) are a volcanic archipelago of seven islands, each with its own unique character and traditional cuisine, all with one common denominator: crystal-clear waters. And if you’ve enjoyed Sicilian hospitality, the warmth of the Aeolians is next level!
Pantelleria is another destination that is perfect for adventure, with beautiful natural beauty to explore. It is located between Sicily and Tunisia and allows visitors to experience the unique tapestry of culture that so often appears in this part of the world.
