SICILY
The largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, southwest of the mainland lies the region of Sicily. Here you’ll find Mount Etna - Europe’s largest live volcano and one of the most active. The region is also home to great archaeological sites such as the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, the Norman Cathedral in Monreale and the Doric Temple in Segesta. The larger cities of Palermo and Catania exude a lofty, noble air, while the holiday resorts of Terrasini and Cinisi offer crystal clear waters and friendly, typically Sicilian hospitality.

One of the most outstanding qualities of Sicily is the juxtaposition of colors , constantly changing according to the season. The sea is a predominant feature. The many shades of green, turquoise and blue contrast sharply with the intense whiteness of the salt mines. Inland, the greens, yellows and browns characterize the seemingly infinite succession of cultivated rolling hills.
