Uncover incredible history

Greece has left a huge mark on Sicily’s past, so there’s no shortage of fascinating ancient sites still waiting to be explored. A prime example is the stunning Valley of the Temples, one of the island’s seven UNESCO World Heritage sites. History lovers, this one’s a must!

Food favourites

Italian cuisine is famous for its twirling pasta, mouth-watering pizzas and creamy gelato, but in Sicily, it’s given a delicious island twist. Think super-fresh seafood, lemon-infused desserts, and of course the famous Sicilian arancini from a local street food stall. Trust us, you won’t want to miss it!
