Short description of Sicily
Sicily (Sicilia) is the largest island in the Mediterranean, a land of Greek temples, Arab-Norman churches, baroque towns and one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Mount Etna dominates the east above Catania and Taormina, whose ancient theatre looks out over the sea. Palermo holds the island's Arab-Norman heritage, Syracuse the old town on the island of Ortigia, and Agrigento the Valley of the Temples. Between them lie the baroque towns of the Val di Noto, the Roman mosaics of the Villa Romana del Casale, the temple of Segesta and hilltop Erice. Beaches, the Egadi Islands and a cuisine of arancini, cannoli and Marsala wine make Sicily worth a week or more.
