Holidays in Sicily

An introduction to Sicily

Tempted by holidays to Sicily? If so prepare to be overwhelmed by its contrasts, landscapes, beaches and amazingly diverse, ancient heritage. From its bubbling capital Palermo to age-old Roman and Greek ruins, sun-drenched sands and the ever-present, smouldering Mount Etna, this is one island overflowing with treasures.

Threaded amongst its scented citrus orchards, tranquil farmland and lunar-like mountains is a kaleidoscope of towns, sights and resorts. Its east coast is the main draw, thanks to its inviting beaches and stunning landmarks. For a luxurious holiday or adult escape, picturesque, popular Taormina has stepped boutique-filled streets, sandy coves and a spectacular Greco-Roman theatre. Or for a classic sunshine break, Giardini Naxos' scenic stretch of pebbles, cafe culture and watersports will delight beach-loving families and couples.

And holidays in Sicily are about enjoying the island's passion for food and drink too. Whatever you're doing, it'll feel even better paired with a glass of almond wine, homemade pizza or steaming espresso. Add the locals' irresistible zest and hospitality and you're sure of a memorable time here.
