Sicily
“All of Sicily is a dimension of the imagination.”Leonardo Sciascia
Sicily, both the largest region in Italy and island in the Mediterranean, located at the center of this sea, thanks to its geography and climate has been a crossroads of peoples for over three millennia. Each of these cultures, including the Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs and Normans, has left traces of their passage and contributed to defining the vicissitudes and the complex and eventful history of the island.
Sicily is characterized by a surprising geology that has and continues to shape its territory, which is so diverse that the variety of its landscapes can be compared to those of a continent. They range from the snowy peaks of Mount Etna to numerous other volcanic landscapes, such as those of the Aeolian Islands and Pantelleria, to mountains and plateaus cloaked in forests, as well as extremely sunny mediterranean landscapes, that contribute to the luminous and colorful image of this island. Equally noteworthy are its agricultural landscapes, which protect a multitude of local products of immense value, as recognized by Slow Food. This makes Sicily the world's leading region in terms of agricultural products protected by this association, which often contribute as ingredients of its world-famous cuisine.
The variety of archaeological, monumental, and artistic wonders of this land, where each place bears an often layered historical legacy, is exemplified by internationally renowned destinations such as Taormina, Cefalù, Syracuse, Palermo and the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, but also by countless places still off the beaten track.
For these and many other reasons, Sicily today presents itself as an astonishing destination, capable of gratifying even the most demanding travelers, and a region that, like few others in Europe, still offers a genuine sense of exploration and discovery.
Our expertise covers the entire territory of Sicily, from its most remote inland areas to the stunning smaller islands of its archipelagos, passing through historic cities, archaeological sites, and coasts and beaches still waiting to be discovered.
