Sicily

With a sombre beauty at once stark, austere, and dazzlingly bright, Sicily has always been an island apart. The climate is both subtropical and Mediterranean, the landscape serene yet arid, the people gentle and volatile, sometimes apt to erupt like Etna, their great volcano.

From the hectic capital Palermo to the temples of Agrigento, from remote Trapani to genteel Taormina, This Way Sicily explores the history, culture and natural wonders of the island and its sister isles, Lipari, Salina and Stromboli.
