Sicily Holidays
Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and boasts some of the most fascinating historical sites, age-old culture and impressive landscapes.
On the Southern Coast you'll find the exciting cities of the Magna Graecia civilisation, Selinute and Agrigento. The valley near Agrigento marks sacred areas built when the Greeks landed and claims to be one of Europe's most important archeological sites. Greek temples, Arab castles and Roman amphitheatres are common place on the Sicilian landscape.
The Ionian Coast is home to Europe's highest volcano, Mount Etna which changes its face every time it eurpts. One of the best ways to see this facinating attraction is by 4 wheel drive, the views are said to be some of the best in the world.
There are also impressive ruins, Romanesque cathedrals and gorgeous sandy beaches.
The beaches on the North West coast are particularly nice and they stretch up to Palermo, Sicily's capital. You can enjoy a day on the beach and then head into this port city and explore its cathedrals, castles, rich mosaics, museums and archaeological exhibits.
Sicily is such a diverse holiday destination, it's great for walking, cycling and adventure holidays. It is also perfect for historians who want to experience fascinating age-old cultures and civilisations.
