Sicily is one of the best-kept holiday secrets. It is not as well trodden as some other European countries and in my mind that is a blessing. There are still many undiscovered areas that make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time. It has some of the world’s best-preserved ancient Greek and Roman ruins, regions full of Baroque towns, spectacular scenery ranging from the world’s most active volcano to rugged mountains to expansive fields of grain, olive groves and vineyards to sandy coasts and crystal-clear water. Thanks to Sicily’s Mediterranean climate, it enjoys mild to warm, wet winters and warm to hot, dry summers.
For the past decade, Sicily’s wines and olive oils have been awarded some of the most prestigious prizes and the island’s fish and produce are among the freshest. Add to that a warm, welcoming population, as well as a warm, sunny climate and well, you have the perfect holiday destination. As Goethe said in A Journey to Italy: "Without seeing Sicily it is impossible to understand Italy - Sicily is the key to everything".
