The capital, Palermo, captivates with its bustling markets, Norman palaces and Byzantine mosaics.

Nature lovers will appreciate the Lampedusa Marine Protected Area, home to sea turtles that nest on the island's shores each summer. The volcanic island of Linosa presents a stark contrast with its black sand beaches and colourful houses. During summer, the islands host various religious festivals, including the Festa della Madonna di Porto Salvo in August, featuring processions and celebrations.
