SICILY is the largest island in the Mediterranean and the biggest region in Italy. It’s home to many of Europe’s volcanoes – Etna being the biggest, Vulcano the stinkiest and Stromboli one of the most active on earth.

The Valley of the Temples is older than the Acropolis in Athens. The Aeolian islands are outrageously stunning yet few tourists make it there. And if all this is not enough, Palermo has the best pizza on the planet aaaaand on the other side of the island in Catania they eat granita (ice) for breakfast.

Irresistible!
