Sicily

Sicily unfolds as a cinematic escape from the ornate towns of Modica, Noto, and Ragusa to the Greek ruins of Taormina and the dramatic slopes of Mount Etna. This journey stitches together ancient cities, charming coastal enclaves, and bustling markets. Perfect for travellers who crave culture, scenic backdrops, and Mediterranean cuisine with ample vegetarian gems along the way.

Crossing over from Malta into Sicily felt like entering a Baroque film set. We savoured Modica’s artisanal chocolate, wandered through the pistachio-scented streets of Noto, and paused for golden hour over Ragusa’s hilltop vistas. Ortigia’s old alleys and fish market buzzed with life. Catania was alive with flavours — spinach arancini and fresh caponata. Etna’s vastness offered contrast and calm. Taormina was theatrical in its elegance, while Palermo felt like the soul of Sicily, pulsating with history, food, and music.
