NAPLES: Things to do in Sicily

 

From the throbbing streets of vibrant Palermo to the rocky coves that make her coastline, the ancient hilltop towns that seem almost to sway under the heat to the fish couscous dishes that steam out of her restaurants, Sicily brings together so many elements from the worlds around her, but loses none of her own unique identity in the process.

A mediterranean jewel to be explored, a road trip to be remembered and a flavour filled feast to be savoured and all with the sort of causal wild abandon that perhaps only the Italians know how to pull it off!
