Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. Seductively beautiful and historically significant, this scenic Italian island sits at a classical crossroads, its past shaped by Phoenician, Carthaginian, Elymian, Roman, and Greek influences. Evidence of this illustrious heritage is found in the many temples, churches, and cathedrals that characterize the destination. Add to the itinerary picture-perfect medieval towns and villages, superb beaches, and Europe's largest and most active volcano, and you have plenty of reasons to saunter through Sicily.
