One of Italy's most beautiful towns, Taormina, is set on the hilltop and offers picturesque coastline and captivating views. Lemon trees brighten the cobbled streets and it's easy to lose yourself in the inviting passages and gardens such as Villa Comunale. Another must-see town is Castelbuono. Its frescoed church winds up a hillside to a grand 14th-century castle. Charming restaurants and cafes dot the town, so be sure to try the traditional cuisine on your visit.
Crystal-clear waters and sandy beaches are abundant in Sicily, and the seaside town of Cefalù will not disappoint. Whether you're looking to explore its rich culture and heritage or simply settle for long sun-drenched days on luxurious beaches, it has it all. Another wonderful option is Giardini Naxos, where you can take a walk along the long promenade, grab a gelato and soak up the warm Sicilian temperatures.
The diversity of Sicily is evident in its mountainous terrain. Just a 30-minute drive from Cefalù, you'll reach the Madonie Mountains. As Sicily's largest mountain range, there is so much to explore. Discover mountain villages, such as San Mauro Castelverde, and tiny hamlets including Karsa. You could even visit the highest municipality of the Madonie Mountains, Petralia Soprana. Enjoy traditional Sicilian cuisine as you admire the spectacular views.
You can't leave Sicily without trying the iconic arancini. Indulge in these fried rice balls that are filled with ragu, peas, mozzarella, and more. They won't be hard to track down in Sicily as they are often piled high in shop windows and are the perfect snack as you stroll along the streets.
Sicily is also very well known for cakes, sweets and pastries. The most famous of them all has to be the well celebrated cannoli - small cones filled with creamy, flavoured ricotta and almost always enriched with pieces of chocolate. Although they are a staple of Sicilian cuisine, you will now find them in bakeries all over Italy.
