Italian life with an idiosyncratic twist? From Ionian coasts to volcanic slopes, Sicily’s simply different.

UNESCO-protected Baroque architecture. World-renowned snacks and sips. The Mediterranean’s largest island has a character all its own—undoubtedly Italian, with an extra little something. As you venture from Palermo to Taormina, stopping to admire Greek ruins and rustic villages along the way, you’ll find your own definition of what that is. And to expand it further, spend some extra time in Sicily by booking this trip’s extension.
