This is the map of Sicily and these are the places where you will enjoy an unforgettable trip. From Trapani to Siracusa and from Agrigento to Palermo, every town, every city, every monument, every historical place, every meal is extremely enjoyable.

So let’s start our journey.  As for itineraries, there are people who prefer to explore the island along the coast, others, however, prefer to discover the Sicilian inland. Some people go for only five days , which is a very short time , others will spend 15 days , and the most enthusiastic will devote a one month stay.

Whatever your preference, there are unmissable places.
