Pizzeria Frida

For a taste of authentic Sicilian flavors, Pizzeria Frida in Catania is a must-visit. The menu has a variety of pizzas inspired by traditional Sicilian recipes, featuring fresh and flavorful toppings. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and the ideal spot for a leisurely meal with friends or family. 

Pizzeria Villa Zuccaro

What sets this pizzeria apart is its commitment to using high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. The dough is prepared with precision, achieving that perfect balance of crispy and chewy. From their classic Margherita to the seafood pizza, each bite is a testament to the craftsmanship that goes into every pie.

Sicily Pizzeria & Lounge Bar

Located in the charming town of Taormina, Sicily Pizzeria & Lounge Bar has beautiful panoramic views of the Ionian Sea. But beyond this breathtaking backdrop, this pizzeria is celebrated for its inventive pizza creations. We highly recommend trying the Truffle and Porcini pizza.

]]> If Italy is in the shape of a boot, then Sicily is the football at the Southern tip of Italy’s boot. This means it is often under-visited in comparison to mainland Italy, and has a very unique climate and culture. Here are three of the best places for when you go to Sicily.

Ortigia, Syracuse

Ortigia is an island that is connected to the bigger and more modern city of Syracuse. Ortigia has a rich history and is famous for its narrow, winding streets that are full of atmosphere and liveliness. Ortigia has lots of ancient history, including a Greek Temple, and walking through the streets at night is a great way to soak up some Mediterranean ambience.

Taormina

Taormina is a picturesque town nestled on a hill that overlooks the Ionian Sea. It has an Ancient Greek theater that has a legendary history as well as stunning views of the active volcano, Mount Etna. You can also take a boat to the very beautiful and relaxing Isola Bella, a small island just off the coast from Taormina.

Palermo

Palermo is the capital of Sicily and has a mix of cultures that represent the island’s varied history and multiple influences. The historic city center combines Arab, Norman, and Baroque architecture. The Palermo Cathedral is absolutely incredible and a must-visit historical landmark. You can also find some of Sicily’s best food in Palermo, and dishes such as Caponata and Arancini are abundant here.

]]> Sicily is a large Mediterranean island just off the coast of southwest Italy. As an Italian region, it shares loads of similarities with its neighbor. But it also has such a rich and unique atmosphere and culture of its own and makes for the perfect holiday location. Here are some reasons why.

Landscapes

Sicily really feels like a tropical island in places, with beautiful sandy beaches dotted with luscious green foliage and crystal-clear blue waters. Youโ€™ll also find rolling hills covered in bright plants and flowers, and the incredible Mount Etna is also an incredible site to see. 

History

Sicily has a fascinating history, having been occupied by a wide variety of groups. You can see Greek, Roman, and Arab influences dotted throughout, and ancient ruins can be explored all over the island.

Food

Sicilian food is world famous, with many popular dishes originating there. The prosperous land there combined with the masses of coastline means that thereโ€™s a wide range of local authentic meals to be found all over. Delicious arancini can be bought from street food stalls for a couple of euros, and the ricotta stuffed cannoli are out of this world.

Ortygia, Syracuse

Syracuse is an ancient city, built by the sea on the eastern coast of Sicily, and Ortygia is its most ancient part. Expect to find winding lanes that end in a glimpse of the azure sea, tiny trattorias serving delicious arancini and pizza, and grand palazzos dotted around this slice of Sicilian heaven. Watch the boats pull into the harbor by day and dine by the water at night. Fresh fish will be found on every menu, as well as local specialties including fennel and orange salad, and pistachio pesto.

Palermo

The capital of Sicily is a riot of color, scents, and sounds. This ancient port city offers attractions in the way of its stunning cathedral, fascinating catacombs, exciting theatre, and incredible food. Join a guided tour for the full low-down on Palermoโ€™s history, or wander around and soak up the sense of the city. If itโ€™s all getting a bit much, there are daily trips out from Palermo which take in Mount Etna, ancient ruins, smaller towns, and oceanic reserves. In this city, you are guaranteed to never be bored.

Cefalรน 

This city, located in Sicilyโ€™s north, is much quieter than either Syracuse or Palermo, but it still offers plenty for visitors to do. Start with the Norman cathedral which dates from the 12th century, before exploring the beaches which lie within walking distance of the city center. There are art galleries and museums displaying antiquities found across Sicily. Make sure you make the most of the old town, with its pretty streets and delightful cafes. For a panoramic view, climb to the hilltop castle and look over the town and sea.

]]> Sicily is one of the most beautiful, interesting, and rich in content and culture islands in Italy. Sicily is the largest island in the Middle East. and, with a population of over five million, it is the largest province in Italy.

The most beautiful city in Sicily, in our opinion, is the city of Palermo. The capital of Sicily is a central port city, and perhaps the most interesting city in all of Italy.

The name Palermo means The golden shell. Indeed, apart from the fact that the shape of the city is similar to the shape of an oyster, it is a real sea gem.

When you reach the city, walk through the alleys, stroll along the harbor, and watch the local fishermen and their small boats in action.

Visit the old quarter of the city where time seems to have stopped, and tour among the impressive churches, carriages, magical shops, and beautiful gardens.

]]> Thereโ€™s no better way to experience Italy but to mix with the locals in a place like the Catania fish market in Sicily.

Full of life and down-to-earth people, this fish market perfectly sums up the Sicilian culture. It’s a great place to spend the day if youโ€™re visiting Sicily, an Italian island with incredible history. The mix of various historical influences makes Sicily what it is today and has influenced its cuisine a lot. On the Catania fish market, you can easily find unexpected foods from Greece, Spain, and North Africa.

Of course, the main thing in this marketโ€”and in Sicilian cuisineโ€”is fish and seafood. Buy them at this incredible market located in the shadow of Mt. Etna in the city of Catania, the second biggest city in Sicily (the biggest one is Palermo).

Catania is a city with tragic history: in 1669, Mt. Etnaโ€™s eruption killed 12,000 people and another 20,000 were killed by the 1693 earthquake. The Catania fish market sits in the center of the city and itโ€™s been there since the 1800s. Itโ€™s always busy with locals on their way to buy ingredients but also popular among tourists who want an authentic experience.

The program’s name is Empty for Full and it will be valid after Italy reopens its borders. Besides paying for parts of the airfare and accommodation, the visitors will also be able to get vouchers for museum tickets from the Sicilian tourism office.

This move was provoked by the estimated โ‚ฌ1 billion loss in museum and landmark entrance fees alone.

Italy has opened bars and restaurants several days ago during the second phase of reopening. They’re currently providing take-out only, but are expected to start receiving small groups of guests by the end of the month.

To learn more about the offers for visiting Sicily this year, go to their official website.

Join a guided tour for the full low-down on Palermoโ€™s history, or wander around and soak up the sense of the city. If itโ€™s all getting a bit much, there are daily trips out from Palermo which take in Mount Etna, ancient ruins, smaller towns, and oceanic reserves. In this city, you are guaranteed to never be bored.

Cefalรน 

This city, located in Sicilyโ€™s north, is much quieter than either Syracuse or Palermo, but it still offers plenty for visitors to do. Start with the Norman cathedral which dates from the 12th century, before exploring the beaches which lie within walking distance of the city center. There are art galleries and museums displaying antiquities found across Sicily. Make sure you make the most of the old town, with its pretty streets and delightful cafes. For a panoramic view, climb to the hilltop castle and look over the town and sea.

]]> Sicily is one of the most beautiful, interesting, and rich in content and culture islands in Italy. Sicily is the largest island in the Middle East. and, with a population of over five million, it is the largest province in Italy.

The most beautiful city in Sicily, in our opinion, is the city of Palermo. The capital of Sicily is a central port city, and perhaps the most interesting city in all of Italy.

The name Palermo means The golden shell. Indeed, apart from the fact that the shape of the city is similar to the shape of an oyster, it is a real sea gem.

When you reach the city, walk through the alleys, stroll along the harbor, and watch the local fishermen and their small boats in action.

Visit the old quarter of the city where time seems to have stopped, and tour among the impressive churches, carriages, magical shops, and beautiful gardens.

Well-informed sources recommend accommodation in one of the nearby fishing villages along the coast (Santa Flavia area), where you can enjoy authentic delicacies in a rare rural atmosphere.

Do not miss a visit to this magical city on your next trip to the south of Italy.

]]> Thereโ€™s no better way to experience Italy but to mix with the locals in a place like the Catania fish market in Sicily.

Full of life and down-to-earth people, this fish market perfectly sums up the Sicilian culture. It’s a great place to spend the day if youโ€™re visiting Sicily, an Italian island with incredible history. The mix of various historical influences makes Sicily what it is today and has influenced its cuisine a lot. On the Catania fish market, you can easily find unexpected foods from Greece, Spain, and North Africa.

Of course, the main thing in this marketโ€”and in Sicilian cuisineโ€”is fish and seafood. Buy them at this incredible market located in the shadow of Mt. Etna in the city of Catania, the second biggest city in Sicily (the biggest one is Palermo).

Catania is a city with tragic history: in 1669, Mt. Etnaโ€™s eruption killed 12,000 people and another 20,000 were killed by the 1693 earthquake. The Catania fish market sits in the center of the city and itโ€™s been there since the 1800s. Itโ€™s always busy with locals on their way to buy ingredients but also popular among tourists who want an authentic experience.

The program’s name is Empty for Full and it will be valid after Italy reopens its borders. Besides paying for parts of the airfare and accommodation, the visitors will also be able to get vouchers for museum tickets from the Sicilian tourism office.

This move was provoked by the estimated โ‚ฌ1 billion loss in museum and landmark entrance fees alone.

Italy has opened bars and restaurants several days ago during the second phase of reopening. They’re currently providing take-out only, but are expected to start receiving small groups of guests by the end of the month.

To learn more about the offers for visiting Sicily this year, go to their official website.

]]> Online travel company TripAdvisor uses the data they collect during the year to announce the best destinations with their Travelersโ€™ Choice Best of the Best awards. They did it this year and this is the beach they found the most beautiful in Europe.

The most beautiful European beach for 2020 is Spiaggia Dei Conigli, located in Lampedusa, Islands of Sicily. The beach comes fourth on their list of the most beautiful beaches in the world after Baia do Sancho in Brazil, Grace Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos, and Playa Paraiso in Cuba.

Spiaggia dei Conigli, also known as Rabbit beach, is often mentioned as one of the most beautiful places in Italy.

โ€œNever been in a place where surfing with lots of fish in the same wave. Spiaggia dei Conigli is one of the marvels of the world. Crystal clear water and as close you can be with nature. Lucky to have been here,โ€ wrote one reviewer on TripAdvisor.
