What to see in Sicilia

Sicily is the largest island in Italy and the Mediterranean, as well as one of the largest in Europe. Sicily boasts a rich archaeological, artistic, and cultural heritage. The best starting point for a tour aimed at discovering Sicily's many beauties and its famous food and wine tradition, a result of the successive colonizations over time, can be the city of Palermo, the region's capital, and home to the B&B Hotel Palermo Quattro Canti.

What to visit in Palermo and its surroundings

 The advice on what to see in Palermo and how to organize your holiday in Sicily are numerous, considering its long millennial history that has given it a significant artistic and architectural heritage, which is enhanced by its geographical position in the Conca d'Oro: the city is surrounded by hills, mountains, and the sea.

A few kilometers from Palermo is Trapani, a large city in western Sicily, which enjoys a view of the Egadi Islands, part of the Egadi Islands Marine Nature Reserve; the nature reserve is accessible from the city's tourist and commercial port. In Trapani, you can visit the Museum of Marine Archaeology and the Church of Purgatory, which houses ancient wooden sculptures that parade every Good Friday during the traditional Procession of the Mysteries at Easter. Another city event is the Trapanese Musical July, hosted in the open-air theater of Villa Margherita gardens.

Going on holiday to Sicily also means enjoying the sea and beaches, and certainly moving to visit the area of San Vito Lo Capo has its valid reasons. The seaside resort is famous for being listed among the most beautiful in Italy, and its coast is dominated from above by the large Monte Monaco; east of San Vito Lo Capo is the Zingaro Nature Reserve, one of the few stretches of Sicilian coast where an ecosystem of pristine nature, beaches, and water survives.

What to visit in Southeastern Sicily

The tour in Sicily continues southward towards Agrigento, known for the ruins of the ancient city of Akragas, where you can visit the temples and the archaeological park. The Valley of the Temples of Agrigento is indeed listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and, with its 1300 hectares, is the largest archaeological park in the world. The seaside resort to note in the Agrigento area is the Scala dei Turchi, a white cliff with peculiar shapes that rises sheer from the sea.
