Sicily — theatre of lights and winds, of historic battles and sublime architecture; the southernmost bridge to Africa; and indulgent cradle for different civilizations. The sun caresses the blazing sands and the low cliffs; the sky is brilliant with strong colors, especially at sunset; the sandy beaches dance with the bright, blue sea; silver olive trees mix together with palms; everything invites you to enjoy life, experience nature and revel in a rich and extraordinarily diverse past. Between Europe and Africa, Sicily, a “melting pot of the ancient world,” has been touched, changed and marked by a myriad of cultures—first the Greeks and the Romans, then the Arabs and Normans, and finally, the French, Spanish and Italians, all of them contributing to an unparalleled historical legacy. Nature and history have combined to give Sicily its most striking feature: impressive monuments of the past set against landscapes of astonishing natural beauty.
