Sicily provides unforgettable impressions. The peoples who have inhabited it over the centuries have left wonderful gifts to this land. Daring architecture, magnificent gardens and a tradition of food and wine with no boundaries in terms of flavours and fragrances.
A strong, untamed nature nourishes the eyes and soul of those who choose to visit these places.
The numerous itineraries that you can follow starting from SicilyVillas.Travel's beach houses and villas are evocative.
THIS IS WHAT WE RECOMMEND YOU DO NOT MISS
THE LIGHTHOUSE of Sicily: ETNA
The allure of burning lava illuminating even the darkest night is incredible. To get close enough to Etna to enjoy this spectacle safely is enough to make your trip to Sicily worthwhile. However, at other times of the year, when the volcanic activity dies down, the time is right for a jeep-trekking trip.
A lunar landscape full of small craters allows you to admire a unique, almost surreal scenery. You can reach the 2500 m altitude comfortably by cable car and then, if you wish, continue to the top of the main crater at 3300 m. The view from Europe's highest volcano is unrivalled.
RAGUSA IBLA: a timeless jewel
Ragusa Ibla is one of the most precious gems of Sicilian Baroque art. Its beating heart, located on a hill, is full of splendid noble buildings, churches and glimpses of streets and squares where time seems to stand still. The wealth of detail in the facades of the palaces and the interiors of the places of worship is a perfect example of man's incredible artistic skills.
The magnificent Church of San Giorgio in pure Sicilian Baroque style is not to be missed.
As is the Church of Santa Maria dell'Itria with its cobalt blue domed bell tower. However, in addition to the unique architectural complex, it is its Hyblean Garden that offers beautiful panoramic views.
MODICA: the fine art of chocolate
A land of flourishing markets and merchants, Sicily has been home to the most sought-after and refined ingredients since ancient times. Among these, cocoa, processed by the skilful hands of the master chocolatiers of Modica, plays an important role. A confectionery tradition that has made this little town famous throughout the world.
However, Modica is also a treasure trove of Baroque architecture, with churches and palaces as stunning as the Church of San Giorgio. The grandeur and refinement of the Baroque architecture almost seems to overwhelm the individual, while in fact it enhances his immense artistic talent.
AGRIGENTO: for an exciting journey through history
The city of Agrigento, or Girgenti as it was called until 1927, is capable of arousing unique feelings. Rich in artistic and cultural heritage of incomparable beauty, it is a harmonious blend of a medieval layout, Norman architecture and the refinement of Arab buildings and gardens.
Not to mention the wonderful Valley of the Temples, a World Heritage Site!
The magnificent Church of San Giorgio in pure Sicilian Baroque style is not to be missed.
