An island of riches

Located where three seas — Ionian, Mediterranean and Tyrrhenian — converge, Sicily is a lush, prosperous island offering an exotic mix of cultures, cuisine and traditions. Its landscapes and attractions are as diverse as its people, who are imbued with the southern Italian passion for life.

Plunge into the rich heritage of the towns and cities: Taormina, Catania and Siracusa on the sun-drenched eastern coast, or the vibrant urban centre that is Palermo on the northern side of the island. Discover how Sicily brings together Greek, Roman, Christian, Arab, Norman and even American cultures — a unique blend of influences.
