Sicily holidays
Welcome to Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, floating just off the toe of Italy’s boot. This sunshine paradise packs a real punch when it comes to varied scenery and dramatic landscapes, from the mighty Mount Etna to flower-filled meadows and oh-so beautiful beach settings. And that's before we get started on its rich ancient history – there are myths and legends weaved into every captivating corner of this cultural melting pot. And the food? Now that really is the stuff of legend. Tick off street food staple crispy arancini, sticky desserts like creamy, citrus-spiked cannoli and aromatic, aubergine-stuffed caponata. If you thought the mainland had character, cuisine and charm, you haven't seen anything yet...Popular Sicily Holiday Resorts

Trace tremendous history
Greece played a big part in Sicily's history and there are plenty of well-preserved ancient sites that can still be explored today. The iconic Valley of the Temples is the perfect example of this and it’s one of the seven impressive UNESCO-stamped sites right here on the island. History-buffs, this one’s for you.
Buon appetito!
Italian cuisine is made up of velvety pasta dishes, flavour-packed pizzas and sweet scoops of gelato, but here in Sicily, it gets an island twist. The freshest fish and seafood and lemon-laced treats top trattoria menus and you just can’t miss out on sampling a handful of renowned Sicilian arancini from a street food vendor!
The cool coastline
White-sand beaches, secluded coves and warm aquamarine waters. Sound like your bag? This pretty part of Italy has all that and more. From Cefalù to Taormina, you’re bound to find your own little slice of beach heaven. Island-hopping’s also on the cards as the stunning Aeolian archipelago floats just off the north coast.
Beaches
How does a long stretch of beach with sapphire waves lapping against the golden sand sound? Or what about a secluded hideaway backed by ochre-coloured cliffs? From lively to laid-back, whatever a day at the beach looks like for you, Sicily has got you covered.
