                                          Find out more about Sicily

                                          Sicily’s been home to a list of people longer than your arm - the ancient Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans and Spanish have all taken up residence here. As such, this Italian island is chock-full of history and landmarks, as well as jaw-dropping landscapes.

                                          Sicily embodies everything incredible about Italy but with a twist unique to the island. You can spend your days roaming around ancient ruins, cathedrals and adorable cafes, before hitting one of the gorgeous beaches, sipping a glass of vino and discovering one of the charming Baroque towns.

                                          Where else can you explore an active volcano, hang out in cliffside towns and indulge in the finest cuisine in buzzing cities? Yep, from the lively capital of Palermo to the hilltop city of Taormina, this island has something for everyone. Check out our range of hotels in Sicily and plan your perfect escape.

                                          Where to stay in Sicily

                                          For a classic Sicilian adventure, look for Sicily hotel deals in the hilltop town of Taormina. You’ll be treated to Insta-worthy views of Mount Etna, stunning beaches and ancient Greek ruins like the Teatro Antico.

                                          If you’re a history buff, Palermo has a blend of Arab-Norman architecture, vibrant markets and an incredible food scene - make sure you try a penelle sandwich. Syracuse’s Ortigia Island is a dream with baroque beauty, cobblestone streets and breathtaking sea views.

                                          For something a little quieter, book Sicily accommodation in Ragusa, which is packed with UNESCO-listed architecture, or stay in Agrigento to discover the iconic Valley of the Temples.

                                          If a seaside escape is on the cards, base yourself in Cefalu or Favignana in the Aegadian Islands and soak up the turquoise waters and island vibes.

                                          Top things to do in Sicily

                                          • Climb Mount Etna. Ever walked up a volcano? Strap on your hiking boots and head up Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano. You’ll be treated to lava-filled craters, vineyards and fantastic views.
                                          • Eat your way through Palermo’s street food markets. Vucciria and Ballaro are bursting with epic markets serving up the freshest local delicacies. Chow down on arancini, cannoli and sfincione pizza. Mamma Mia!
                                          • Stroll through Taormina. You’ll fall in love with the charming streets lined with tempting shops and cafes before visiting the Greek Theatre and taking a cable car to Isola Bella for a dip in the crystal-clear waters.

                                          Insider tips for Sicily

                                          • Public transport can be a nightmare. If you want to explore the diverse beauty of Sicily, your best bet is to rent a car so you can take in the remote villages, hidden beaches and scenic routes at your own pace.
                                          • Try local specialities. Each region of Sicily offers its own unique flavours, so enjoy pistachio gelato in Bronte, fresh swordfish in Messina and fluffy couscous in Trapani.
                                          • Bring cash. While lots of places accept cards, many smaller restaurants and shops in rural areas don’t, so bring some cash.
