Sicily is an island of big contrasts. From the low and desert sand beaches to the scenery rocks. From the tender hills cultivated with wheat to the spectacular rocky peaks. You will quickly pass from the sunny plain of the Island’s centre to the shady woods of the mountains, and finally from the hot and dry grassland to the perpetual ice of the Etna, Europe’s highest volcano. In short, Sicily’s landscapes are so spectacular that it’s really worth visiting them!

Five thousand years’ foreign rule, cultures, languages, architecture, i.e. five thousand years’ history have left a unique mark on this island that can be defined as the synthesis of the European and Mediterranean cultures. The examples are impressive: from Phoenician salt mines, to Greek temples, from Roman villas to Arabic, Byzantine, Norman architecture. And, finally, the Province of Ragusa baroque wonder, that is now recognized as ”World Human Heritage”.

The long tradition of hospitality makes of the Sicilians a warm and friendly people. Anywhere you go you will be surprised by how much the Sicilians will do to help you and to make your journey unforgettable. The Sicilian gastronomy is the demonstration of centuries’ influences and dominations. A unique mix of flavours you will make a “culinary trip” with, around the Mediterranean. You will taste fresh fish, delicious season’s fruits, and vegetables also in the winter. And then the ice cream, worldwide famous cakes and sweets , such as the cannoli, the cassate (cakes containing ricotta cheese, chocolate chips and candied fruits), and the chocolate from Modica, made in the way the Aztecs did it. Not to mention the wines: in the last years, the Sicilian oenology has reached high levels , also with the regional vines that are the natural mate of unforgettable lunches and dinners.
