Start your adventure in the flamboyant Palermo. The island's largest city has been marked by conquests, at the hands of Greeks, Romans and Normans.
Head for the Palace of the Normans, which stands as one of the finest examples of Arab-Norman architecture.

Sicily is home to a wealth of Greek and Roman ruins, perfect for an adventure back into the past. Take the family on a tour of the ancient ruins of Syracuse, visit the astounding Temple of Concordia in Agrigento, climb the slopes of a live volcano on Mount Etna or travel to Taormina’s ancient Greek theatre for amazing clifftop views and stunning live.
Your discovery of Sicily is also a discovery of its cuisine.
On the west coast, in Cefalù, let the local specialities tempt you. During your all inclusive holiday in Sicily, snack on arancini, stuffed balls of rice, or dine on cuttlefish ink spaghetti at a table in front of the cathedral. Pair your meal with a glass of Nero d’Avola, a red wine from the slopes of Etna. In Catania, at the foot of the mountain, continue your holiday in Sicily with a mouth-watering stroll through the fish market. The local fishermen sell their catch here with a cheekiness fit for a commedia dell’arte. Sicilian lemons are famous throughout Europe and found in many local dishes.
Sicilian cuisine is rich with seafood, flavoured with Mediterranean, Spanish and Arabic influences and the islands’ famous lemons. Snack on arancini and saracena olives as you wander round the countryside, or treat the kids to Sicily’s best desserts. Try sweet cannoli, cassata cake, almond and pine nut biscuits, and refreshing granita.
With the Mediterranean as a backdrop, Sicily is a distinguished seaside destination. During your holidays in Sicily, stop off in Cefalù: the beach there offers exceptional views up to the top of the village. For a more thrilling experience, brave the lunar slopes of the Etna, where cones and craters are constantly venting steam. Another active volcano, Stromboli, is a place of heavenly landscapes with the Aeolian Islands and Forgia Vecchia beach in the background. Sicily is also about the art of taking one's time.
For unspoilt views and authentic Mediterranean living, look no further. The golden islands of Sicily are perfect for family holidays and romantic getaways. Explore ancient ruins, enjoy beachside fun with your kids, or rent a car and drive up into the hillsides and discover rolling vineyards, sleepy villages and coastal towns where life runs at a more relaxed pace.
