Explore Sicily

Italy's (and the Mediterranean's) largest island, Sicily is so distinct from mainland Italy that it can almost feel like a separate country. And Sicilians don't seem to be in any rush to change that!

No other region of Italy is such a melting pot of peoples and civilizations; over the centuries, Sicily was colonized by Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, Spaniards, and even the French. This heritage has left its mark - physical traces of which can be found all throughout the island - and exploring here can literally feel like peeling off layer after layer of history.

But be careful; one visit is never enough and Sicily tempts you back again and again.
