Sicily – a Revealing Land

Sicily, a revealing land

Our tour of the region starts in Agrigento, in its ‘Valley of the Temples’ where the knowledge and still-living echoes of ancient Greece inspired the foundation of the city. From here, just before disappearing at the horizon in the Mediterranean Sea, our glance moves on to some beautiful sandy beaches like the one called ‘Riserva Torre Salsa’, a true site for.

Then we climb up the steep steps of the ‘Scala dei Turchi’, which were dug into the white cliffs by the century-old sea and wind-induced erosion, and we head towards the Castle of Mussomeli overlooking the countryside surrounding Caltanissetta. Fairly close is the Province of Enna, which keeps the mosaics of Piazza Armerina, another masterpiece considered World heritage value.

Heading East we reach Syracuse. Its Greek theatre of the V century BC used to be the stage for the tragedies of Aeschylus. Adjacent is a series of rocky caves which Caravaggio defined ‘Dionysus’ ears’ because they are shaped like an ‘S’. In the outskirts of the city we find Noto, the finest example of Sicilian Baroque Art.

After an unmissable stop in Caltagirone, known as ‘the city of pottery’ since the Norman times, we move on to Catania. In the main square, along with the Cathedral and the Sant’Agata Church, we find the Egyptian Obelisk and the ‘Liotro’ Statue, the imposing elephant representing the city and symbolizing its victory over the Carthaginians during the Punic Wars.

The province of Messina treats us to the marvellous sea floors of Tindari and the timeledss beauty of the Aegean Islands. Among them, the Island of Vulcano strikes us with its black sand beaches, sulphur dioxide geothermal baths and nature’s gentle massage.

Palermo, the capital of the Region, will definitely meet the needs of those who are more fond of art. The Massimo Theatre, the Politeama Theatre, the Norman Palace, the Utveggio Castle and the Arco Cathedral will entertain us while visiting the town. It is worth going outside the city centre to have a deep look at the mosaics in Monreale and to taste some home-made ice-cream while sitting on the water’s edge.

But our journey cannot end without visiting the Province of Trapani. Erice, a town built on a rocky cliff just outside of Trapani, treats us to some unique and romantic landscapes we will remember for the longest time. And these unforgettable memories will stay with us, as we promise to come back to this Earthly Paradise called Sicily as soon as we can.
