Sicily

Sicily is home to dramatic landscapes, with stunning seas surrounding the largest island in the Mediterranean. Mount Etna, one of Europe’s tallest active volcanoes, lends itself to active travellers who wish to hike. From flowery meadows to coastal sights, this island doesn’t disappoint. Not to mention the Mediterranean cuisine and the historical, royal and Greek sites.

Best for: Scenic sites, active travellers, beaches and food.
Where is it? Sicily is the island off the tip of Italy’s boot in the south. Flights are the easiest way to get to Sicily from Rome (1 hour), Florence (1 hour and 20 minutes), Milan (1.5 hours) and Naples (1 hour).
Top 5 things to see/do: Ski down or hike up Mount Etna, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site Valley of the Temples, see the mosaics in Villa Romana del Casale, try the local street food and visit some of Italy’s best beaches such as Mondello Lido.
How long do I need? 10 days - 2 weeks.
Recommended tour: Sicily is large and cannot be seen in a day trip, so the nine-day Treasures of Sicily tour will show you Mount Etna, take you wine tasting and to the must-see cities and sites of Sicily.
