Sicily

In Sicily, where the sun-kissed shores meet the whispers of ancient ruins, every moment feels like a passage through a dream.

BEST TIME TO VISIT

APRIL - OKTOBER

A Yacht Holiday

Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean and lies just off the "toe" of the Italian boot. Testimonies to its long history are places like the "Valley of the Temples", the well-preserved ruins of 7 monumental Greek temples in the Doric style, and the Byzantine mosaics at the Cappella Palatina, a former royal chapel in the capital Palermo. At the eastern end of the island lies Mount Etna, one of the highest active volcanoes in Europe.
