SICILY CHARM

One more tour, to love Sicily

Sicily's sunny, dry climate, scenery, cuisine, history, and architecture attract many tourists from the rest of Italy and abroad. The tourist season peaks in the summer months, although people visit the island all year round. Mount Etna, the beaches, the archaeological sites, and major cities such as Palermo, Catania, Syracuse and Ragusa are the favourite tourist destinations, but the old town of Taormina and the neighbouring seaside resort of Giardini Naxos draw visitors from all over the world, as do the Aeolian Islands, Erice, Terrasini, Castellammare del Golfo, Cefalù, Agrigento, the Pelagie Islands and Capo d'Orlando. The last features some of the best-preserved temples of the ancient Greek period. Many Mediterranean cruise ships stop in Sicily, and many wine tourists also visit the island.

THE CAVE NECROPOLIS OF PANTALICA in Sicily

PANTALICA

Pantalica is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and also the perfect place for trekking and hydro trekking, it is located on a plateau surrounded by canyons (called 'caves') and shaped by two rivers that flow through it.

Adress

Siracusa

What I like about it

Pantalica is the perfect place to visit if you love long walks, if you want to hear the sound of rushing water and feel the wind blowing through the trees.

SAILING SICILY: FROM MILAZZO TO VULCANO

SAILING SICILY

Vulcano is a must stop on a sailing tour of the Aeolian Islands. It is the closest island to Milazzo and this makes it the ideal destination for those who have very little time and are travelling with a large family or with a group of friends.

Places

Eolie, Messina

What I like about it

The Fanghi area is characterised by the intense smell of sulphur emanations, and is renowned for its therapeutic purposes and for taking care of the body.
