Summer in Sicily and beautiful Vacation in Sicily, Hotel, B&B, Farmhouse
The sea is perennially the colour of sapphire, the domain of dolphins and swordfish. And so it has been since the dawn of time.
Tears of lava, limestone plains swept by the wind, sunny lands the colour of bronze: one by one the islands decorate the Sicilian coast like a string of pearls on the neck of a beautiful woman. There are fourteen of these daughters of Sicily, not including Motya, which at low tide is sometimes linked to the coast of Marsala. Fourteen paradises of untouched beauty. Some have an African charm, such as the Pelagie, in the province of Agrigento, and Pantelleria in the province of Trapani. Others, the uncontested mistresses of the sea and its secrets, Levanzo, Favignana, and Marettimo, form the archipelago of the Egadi in the sea off Trapani. Further north, in splendid isolation, is Ustica, the island of Circe, with its unspoilt marine reserve. And in the Aeolian islands, in the province of Messina, water meets fire. Here nature still dictates. Its rhythms, and travellers can let themselves be enchanted by the magic spell of the fishermen and farmers who inhabit these isles, the last custodians of the ancient Mediterranean traditions. The choice is yours - between the lively throngs on the Aeolian Islands, the peace and quiet Pelagie, and the perfumes of the Egadi.
Palermo's cathedral
Antique place of worship on the banks of the river Papiretto, the site gives birth to one of the first Christian churches in the city, where Muslims then erect their Friday's mosque. The Normans, using existing structures, convert the monument to the Christian rite and confer to it the dignity of a cathedral
