Let’s be honest for a moment here, who doesn’t want to holiday in Sicily? The most southerly part of Italy and the largest island in the Mediterranean, this incredible part of Europe boasts sensational weather, fabulous history, amazing food, great coast and a fascinating culture influenced by nearby North Africa, as well as the sun-baked […]

The roaring capital of Sicily is a feast for all those who lay eyes on her… both literally and metaphorically! Indeed it’s hard not to be blown away (and have your waistline seriously expanded) during a trip to this vibrant and authentic city, which definitely ranks among my favourite places on the island. With a […]

Everyone loves a bit of Prague right (and if you haven’t been before then you absolutely, definitely, certainly should go!), but it’s also very true that there’s a whole country to discover beyond Czechia’s famous capital. Selfishly hogging the limelight, the UNESCO-listed city of a hundred spires has put this country on the map, but […]

Growing ever more popular, Sicily is absolutely one of my favourite regions to visit in Italy – not least because, situated at the south of the country (just off the toe of the boot), it’s heavy on the sun hours and hot on the Mediterranean heat! And of course, it has all the amazing trappings […]

If you’re heading on your first trip to Sicily as I was recently, then the choice about where to stay here is a question you’re likely to face. As the largest island in the Mediterranean (something else I didn’t know before I visited!), getting from one part of Sicily to another can take hours, which […]

Honestly, I’m not trying to start this article on a downbeat note, but, spoiler alert, most people don’t head to Sicily for the beaches. But wait, that’s not because the beaches here aren’t fabulous, but rather because this Italian gem of an island – the largest in the Mediterranean don’t y’know – offers so much, […]
