Sicily travel guide
Swoon at the layers of history in Syracuse, stroll around the Valley of the Temples, and fall in love with Cefalù; all with your trusted travel companion.
Lonely Planet writer Gregor Clark describes why he loves Sicily. "Decades after my first visit, I still find Sicily one of the world's most captivating places. Among the island's innumerable charms, here are a few personal favourites: the ever present scent of lemon trees, the purity of dawn light on terracotta walls, the colourful decrepitude of Palermo's markets, the drama of stromboli erupting against a darkening sky, the sense that history lurks always just around the next corner, the reflective marble glow of late-night Ortygia and Marsala streets, the lonely majesty of Segesta, the exotic flavours of Sicilian food and the island's endless cultural complexities."
