Sicily

Italy

Greek temples, baroque towns, and the Mediterranean's finest street food — the soul of Italy.

Sicily is the Mediterranean's largest island and one of Italy's finest gastronomic destinations — arancini, cannoli, caponata, and the freshest fish in the world. The erupting Etna is Europe's highest and most active volcano, the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento is one of the best-preserved ancient Greek sites anywhere, and Palermo's Arab-Norman architecture is unique in the world.
