Suggested itinerary for 12-14 incredible days in the Southern Italian region of Sicily. I always thought Sicily was quite small for some reason, I think I may have been thinking of Capri… turns out Sicily is the largest region in Italy! It would be an absolute dream to drive through by car, but for me, it was all buses... and a LOT of them. Despite getting from one end to the other in 7+ hours and 3 buses, it was always a very scenic drive. You got to see all sorts of beautiful landscapes along the way, including vineyards, lakes, beaches, and mountains. If you have 12 nights to spend in Sicily like I did, this is my recommended itinerary for you based on how much I liked each place.  I have attached accomodation options (my favourite hostels) with links to book, as well as mapped locations of restaurants, cafes and activity locations.

It's hard to think of an Italian meal without thinking of a wine to enjoy it with, and the food and wine in Italy could arguably be two of the top reasons to travel there. Pairing your meal with the perfect wine makes the dining experience that much more enjoyable so to take the guesswork out of what will pair best, the following is a brief guide to some of Italy's most renowned regional dishes, spanning from north to south, along with a few recommended wine pairings for each. Whether you're dining at an Italian restaurant at home or exploring local eateries in Italy, this guide will help you avoid becoming overwhelmed by extensive wine lists if you are unsure what to look for. In Italy, feel free to also ask the waiter or sommelier for recommendations on what to drink with your food. They are likely to suggest a wine from the region you are in, not only to help support local wine growers and producers, but also so you have the chance to experience the authentic flavors of the area through both the food and the wine. ⭐️PRO TIP - While dining out, if you plan to enjoy wine with your meal but haven't decided on what you will be eating yet, start with a glass of sparkling wine. This way, you'll have something to sip on while reviewing the food and wine menus and making your choice. Sparkling wine is an excellent palate cleanser to prep you for a savory meal, and Italy has some of the best. Buon Apetito!

Sicily is like an onion 🧅 whose layers are peeled to reveal yet more layers. Nearly the size of Massachusetts, Sicily - Mediterranean’s largest island - offers a seemingly overwhelming range of textures, tastes and experiences: hilltop towns built from a honey-colored stone that turns incandescent at sunset, blood 🏵️ oranges so sweet you can eat the peel, churches built atop Phoenician walls, adorned with Arab flourishes and covered in Byzantine mosaics, beaches running from grey pebbles to licorice-black sand and always the vast prairie of the sea, stretching to the horizon in shimmering blues and greens. The island is undeniably Italian but also proudly and stubbornly apart from the mainland, which many locals refer to as "il continente". I've even included some personal anecdotes to give extra color to each destination! NB: As I travel back to the region I will continue to update this list. If you purchase today, you will receive all future updates.

Considering a trip to Agrigento? With this guide I would like to convince you that Agrigento is much more than only the Valley of the Temples, there is a lot to discover and explore! Goethe in "Italian Journey" about Agrigento wrote: «Never in my entire life I have seen such splendor of spring as this morning at sunrise... From the window, we see the vast and gentle slope of the ancient city all covered in gardens and vineyards, under the thick greenery we can just make out some traces of the great and populous neighborhoods of the city of the past. Only at the southern end of this green and flowery slope stands the Temple of Concordia, to the east the few remains of the Temple of Juno, but from above the eye does not see the ruins of other temples... instead it runs south towards the sea.» This city guide will help you navigate your way around the city to ensure you get the most out of your short getaway. This guide includes: 🔺What to see in Agrigento 🔺What to eat typical 🔺How to get there 🔺An interactive map to follow with geographical locations & contact details of each location. Italian 101: *Salita: climbing route *Cortile: courtyard P.S. 📖This guide is based on my experience in Agrigento, I recommend to spend at least 2 days to appreciate also some of the nicest beaches around.

Let's get one thing straight: Cheese is love, and while the French reign supreme in this kingdom! The Italians can hold their own pretty bloody well. Living in Italy, particularly in Bra- the proud home of Italy's ultimate cheese festival" Bra Cheese" - I have drowned myself in this cheesy paradise. This festival was founded by the slow food movement (which has its HQ right in Bra) it is a must for any cheese aficionado. The following festivals, Pro-locos and Sarga' are generally put on by local communities and often coincide with the celebration of patron saints and similar holidays. There are plenty more than just these, but from my experience, these are worth your visit. Now let's talk about the cream of the crop in the Italian cheese world. You cannot forget "the king" Reggiano Parmesan, a staple that deserves a permanent spot in your fridge. On the other end of the spectrum and country, there's Buffalo Mozzarella, a soft and slightly tart delight that screams summer. We cannot overlook Gorgonzola, with its range of mild and cream to bold and spicy. Crowd-pleasing favourite Ricotta and arguably the most versatile Italian cheese. A personal favourite, Taleggio, this northern Italian cheese especially when a little over ripe, is an unforgettable as a passionate date. Pecorino (the proper stuff - sheep's milk) deserves a mention - when it's good it's bloody fantastic! Get out of the main Italian cities and experience these wonderful countryside areas and the produce and producers that make them, the next time you are in Italy. "Blessed are the cheesemakers" indeed!
