10 Reasons to Visit Sicily, Italy
Reasons to visit Sicily in Italy
1. Mount Etna – Visiting the tallest active Volcano in Europe and 2nd tallest in the world should be a good enough reason to visit Sicily, I mean, how often can you say you’ve done that? The east province of Catania is home to Mount Etna and trips to the Volcano and the surrounding forest and woods are on daily.
2. The Beaches – Sicily’s beaches are amongst the most beautiful in all of Italy. With crystal clear blue waters and white sandy shores, just relaxing or having a swim and watching the sun set along the horizon create an everlasting memory. Taormina and Catania both have excellent beaches.
3. The Greek Amphitheatre - Now the Greek amphitheater isn’t the real main reason to visit Sicily, more so, the views you get from being up there that draw more people in than anything. A real must see.. the view that you get 
from being here overlooking the deep blue ocean and mount Etna is something that will leave you mesmerised.
4. The People – If you want a warm friendly feel to Italy, head for Sicily. Warm southern hospitality clearly evident in the ways of the local people as they greet you with a hearty welcome.
5. The Mafia – It is believed that the Mafia not only originated in Italy, but specifically, in Palermo, Sicily. Wander around the province of Palermo and soak up some of Sicily’s history and learn what makes Palermo such an interesting place and walk the streets that the Mafia was believed to have first started out on.
6. The food – The food and wine in Sicily are so good that you’ll happily forget you were on a diet (If you had one to begin with). Sicilian food is much more like the Mediterranean diet with the extra spices. If you try their food here and head for the mainland after, I believe you’d want to come back to Sicily in a heartbeat.
7. Romance – You’ll definitely feel the romance when you step on this island, and what a better way to spend quality time with your loved one in an all-around romantic location.
8. Shopping – If shopping is one of your many desires, Taormina’s boutiques and Palermo’s famous sweet shops should satisfy you plenty.
9. For the love of Arts – If you love the performing arts, you just have to pay Sicily a visit. Famous for its theaters and performances, there’s never a dull moment in Sicily no matter what time of the year you go.
10. The weather – The marvellous thing about Sicily is that you can go anytime of the year and the weather is always mild and just right. It’s never too cold or extremely hot which makes it such a draw no matter where you’re coming from.
