Hotels in Sicily 2024
A melting pot of peoples and cultures, Sicily is rich in historic and artistic testimonials of the past, telling the tale of centuries of history. The great archaeological heritage of the region includes several sites recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage sites, such as the archaeological area of Agrigento, the Baroque cities of the Val di Noto and the Roman villa del Casale.
The meeting between various cultures has produced an intriguing fusion of culinary tastes and flavours, and also a rich heritage of quality wines. In Sicily, cooking is an art displayed in many elaborate dishes, the end result of long and painstaking preparation; a ritual which culminates with the almost holy nature of the meal, always to be enjoyed in good company.
Side by side with the sweetmeats and pastries, undisputed king of Sicilian gastronomy, an important role is also played by the citrus fruits, dried fruit, sweet/sour, fruit and vegetables and olive oil. The wide variety of fried items (‘arancini’, fried pizza, bread,’ panelle’) all go to make Palermo one of the cities offering the greatest variety of street food.
Also important is the great variety nature sites, including no less than 5 regional parks and 77 nature reserves (including the Volcanic Park of Mount Etna) and 1500 km of coast washed by the splendid sea of Sicily.
