SICILY TRAVEL INFORMATION AND TOURISM SUGGESTIONS
The region of Sicily includes Catania, Palermo, Trapani, Taormina, Enna, Ragusa, Siracusa, Messina, Agrigento, the Egadi, Aeolian and Lampedusa islands and Caltannissetta.
First point of call would be Catania and a visit to Mount Etna. Try skiing the volcano in winter.
The Nebrodi National Park in the province offers plenty of trekking and outdoor experiences. Sleep over in one of the Aeolian islands choosing from Lipari, Salina, Vulcano or Stromboli.
The long north coast runs towards Cefalu and the coast is spectacular. Palermo's fortune was built on citrus fruit and the aristocratic buildings can just about be seen.
The territory between here and Trapani is worth some time. Such locations as Monreale, Alcamo and Piana di Albanese.
Italy's upcoming wine zone can take inspiration from Marsala which gave the world their sweet dessert wine.
The west coast also provided the British Empire with a strategic and economic base from the time of Nelson. Ragusa and Siracusa will put you at the most southerly part of Italy.
Then there is all the interior to discover, done best by the Normans who created their fiefdom around 1000 years ago.

My two best bites recommendations near the sights are : Trattoria Carlo V: The fresh mussels, Pasta Norma, the house Prosecco Trattoria Ferro di…Last modified on 06 April 2013
