There are few areas in the Mediterranean which can boast such a unique and varied wealth of history.
Palermo is a wonderful mixture of the Norman with a touch of Arab combined with Spanish architecture, lively markets, liberty style villas, small parks and an atmosphere bordering on chaotic but still deeply fascinating.
Ragusa,
Modica and
Noto all have an impressive Baroque feel to them with characteristic streets and small piazzas surrounded by beautiful countryside.
Siracusa with its roots in antiquity has the charming Ortigia neighbourhood and a sensational sense of unique history. Classical
Taormina has a beautiful location with Etna in the background and here you can experience the Greek theatre, many fine streets and a wonderful view over the sea.
Piazza Armerina in the heart of
Sicily at a height of almost 700 metres has medieval and Baroque elements and atmospheric streets and lanes.
Caltagirone is characterised by its impressive ceramics and magnificent surrounding countryside. The atmospheric harbour town
Sciacca has charming streets and squares, the inviting Mediterranean sea and many lovely sandy beaches.
