La bella Sicilia,
a special destination for your events
Sicily, the garden of the Mediterranean, is located in the heart of the Mediterranean sea, just off the southern tip of mainland Italy. It’s more than just an island...Europe, Africa and Asia are rolled into one here in one of the world’s first multicultural societies. It’s a unique place full of art and archaeology, history and folklore and breathtaking scenery.
Sicily has attracted the attention of outsiders for more than 6000 years. The island is a fabulous display of Greek amphitheatres and temples, Roman villas, Arab mosques and gardens, Norman cathedrals, Renaissance palaces, Baroque churches - over thirty centuries of history and culture to be explored.
Only 3km across the Straights of Messina from the shores of mainland Italy, Sicily abounds with natural beauty - the landscape is varied, with rugged mountains running into the glittering Mediterranean Sea, coastal valleys of lemon orchards, ancient olive groves, vineyards, cherry and almond orchards and endless wheat fields set the scene.
An island where you can visit an active volcano, or relax on pristine beaches, discover ancient temples, the lively cities of Catania and Palermo, medieval hill top villages and relax in one of many cosmopolitan resorts. Around it lays a number of smaller islands from the Aeolian Islands in the north, the Egadi in the west and the Pelagie islands in the south that can be visited by boat on a day excursion.
Above all Sicily is very much a typical southern Italian region, fuelled by its famous cuisine and wines and a strong cultural identity. Sicily has it all: the shouting street vendors, the best ice cream in the world, the obsession with anything that has to do with food and the genuine and warm hearted Italian hospitality. Come and be fascinated!
