Sicily is a continent of history and flavours: Greek temples, baroque towns, the Etna volcano and a sea surrounding beautiful islands. Every area has its own food, from Palermo’s street food to Modica chocolate.
Not to be missed
- Mount Etna, with guided hikes and visits to the wineries on its slopes
- Taormina and a boat trip around Isola Bella
- The Valley of the Temples in Agrigento
- Syracuse and Ortigia, also from the sea
- The Aeolian and Egadi islands by boat
Practical tips
- On Etna, high-altitude hikes must be done with licensed guides.
- Distances are long: choose one or two areas and enjoy them.
- Try a street food tour in Palermo, with arancine and panelle.
When to go
April to October; spring and autumn are perfect for sightseeing, summer for the sea.
