Furthermore, in the north east of Sicily you find the fascinating Eolie Islands, volcanic islands featured by a natural environment rich in flora and fauna with wonderful beaches, grottos, coves and rich seabed.

Sicily boasts the biggest archeological UNESCO sites. “Valle dei Templi” one of the most well-known in the world, the archeological area of Agrigento features a number of extraordinarily preserved Doric temples. The city of excellent art is Siracusa where countless architectural and cultural evidence has a heritage of over two thousand five hundred years. The cultural experience of Sicily is completed by visiting the Late Baroque cities of “Val di Noto”, “Villa Romana del Casale” at Piazza Armerina, the Norman Arabic part of Palermo and the cathedrals of Cefalù and Monreale.
The beaches of Sicily are dreamy with fine sand, rocks, rich seabed protected by reserves, secret corners with transparent sea. Among the most beautiful beaches are the well-known “Isola dei Conigli”, part of the nature reserve of Lampedusa. In “Riserva naturale dello Zingaro”, near Trapani, you find the wild and uncontaminated “Cala Capreira” and the beach of “San Vito lo Capo”, a bay close to the mountain where the deep blue sea contrasts with white houses. Along the coast of Agrigento, nature encounters history at “Scala dei Turchi”, a beach close to a white marl crag. Around Taormina, you shouldn’t miss the boat trip of “Isola Bella”, a little island with lush nature.
