The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily is blessed with an abundance of sunshine, history and culture. Though it is Italian, over the centuries Sicily's proud and passionate people have developed and preserved a distinct culture, combining the history of the many civilisations that have left their mark on the island.

Sicily has a wealth of breathtaking sights: picturesque Taormina, almost hanging on to the cliff tops; busy narrow cobbled streets with designer shops, cafes & restaurants; coastal towns of such as Marazzo, nestling between dramatic hills, offering small but beautiful pebble beaches creating great atmosphere for a relaxing quality holiday. Sicily is also home to the tallest active volcano in Europe, mount Etna. Visible from miles around on a clear day, at times the volcano is hidden by mist and clouds, adding further to its fascination and charm.

The historic town of Cefalu to the north east of Palermo is probably one of the best places to have a holiday in Sicily. There is a wonderful blend of past and present here. Shopping in the narrow streets leading up to the piazza where the grand cathedral stands is a great way to while away the time. Life here is busy, cheery and very Sicilian. Perfect recipe for a great holiday in Sicily!

Sicily is renowned for its fabulous food and for the variety of fresh local dishes, a fusion of Italian, Greek and Arab cuisines.
