Things to do in Sicily:
A Fascinating Mix of Cultures, Extraordinary Architecture, Captivating Beaches and Islands
Sicily is one of the most ancient and diverse regions in all of Italy. The Greeks established communities here as early as 750 BC and it has been ruled by at least eight different dynasties throughout its history. It’s also the closest region to Africa and has seen many recent migrants come to its shores and become part of its distinctive culture. Combined with its gorgeous coastlines and striking islands, travel to Sicily makes for an unforgettable vacation.
