Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, offers visitors a rich tapestry of history, culture and natural beauty. This autonomous region of Italy boasts an impressive array of archaeological sites, including the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento and the well-preserved Greek theatre in Taormina. Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, provides a dramatic backdrop to the eastern coast and attracts hikers and nature enthusiasts year-round. Food lovers will delight in Sicily's distinctive cuisine, with specialties like arancini, cannoli and granita reflecting the island's diverse cultural influences. The capital, Palermo, captivates with its bustling markets, Norman palaces and Byzantine mosaics. During summer, many towns host vibrant religious festivals, while autumn brings grape and olive harvests. From Sicily, travellers can easily catch ferries to mainland Italy, Malta, Tunisia and the smaller Sicilian islands of Lipari and Ustica, making it an ideal base for exploring the central Mediterranean.
Malta offers a perfect blend of rich history and stunning Mediterranean scenery. This small archipelago packs a remarkable punch with its 7,000 years of history, including prehistoric temples older than Stonehenge. Valletta, the capital, is a UNESCO World Heritage site with impressive fortifications, grand palaces, and the breathtaking St. John's Co-Cathedral. Beyond the capital, visitors can explore the mediaeval walled city of Mdina, the crystal-clear waters of the Blue Lagoon on Comino, and the picturesque fishing village of Marsaxlokk. During summer, nearly every Maltese village celebrates its patron saint with vibrant festas featuring processions, fireworks, and local delicacies. The Malta Arts Festival and the Isle of MTV music event also draw crowds annually. Malta serves as an excellent ferry hub in the Mediterranean, with regular connections to Sicily, allowing travellers to continue their journey into Italy and beyond. The island's compact size means you can experience its diverse attractions without spending hours travelling between them.
