Sicily is the largest island in the Mediterranean, where Europe meets Africa, it is an island of breathtaking natural beauty which is only surpassed by the warmth of the Sicilian people who make foreign visitors feel perfectly at home whatever their nationality. This stunning Mediterranean island, lower in latitude than some parts of Africa, is an eye-opening melting pot of culture, history and natural phenomena. Having been invaded by everybody from the Normans to the Nazis, the people of Sicily have a unique identity but don’t worry - it’s extremely unlikely you’ll be garrotted in this day and age.
