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.

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.

Siracusa, the name of a city that calls to mind a glorious history, today like in the past, overlooks a stunning bay which is also one of the best natural harbors of the Mediterranean.
