Italy, nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea in Southern Europe, is a country known for its iconic contributions to art, history, fashion, food, and music. Home to an incredible 55 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the country is famed for monuments like the Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and the Vatican City - the smallest country in the world. Italy is the birthplace of the Renaissance, a period that produced artists and scholars such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo who left an unparalleled cultural legacy. Internationally renowned for its cuisine, Italy is the land of pizza, pasta, and world-class wine, inviting its visitors to indulge in its rich and diverse gastronomic culture. The breathtaking landscapes of the Amalfi Coast, the romantic waterways of Venice, and the rustic charm of Tuscany offer a compelling blend of sightseeing delights and leisurely pursuits.

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, is an autonomous region of Italy located right at the toe of the country's "boot." This sun-drenched island is famous for its rich history, vibrant culture, and sumptuously indulgent cuisine. Known for its stunning coastal landscapes, towering Mount Etna - one of Europe’s most active volcanoes, and enchanting ancient ruins like the Valley of the Temples and the well-preserved Greek theatres in Siracusa and Taormina, Sicily is a veritable treasure trove for any history buff or nature lover. The island is also the birthplace of cannoli and arancini, showcasing a unique culinary tradition that perfectly marries the fresh flavours of the Mediterranean.

Sicily

Sicily is a beautiful place with everything you can desire. Cities are cultural gems, nature is wild and ancient, the food is absolutely mouthwatering, and the people are as hearty as their pasta. You have Etna, the volcano, which means you can combine mountain hikes and natural wine tasting with beach days and aperitivo time.

Sicily is a beautiful but expensive place. The food is very good, the Italian food is amazing. Getting around by car is quite an adventure, and it's not very safe. Some cities aren't very safe, and some areas are best avoided. During the day, it's not a problem.
