The Island is the largest producer of wine in Italy. Moreover, it is one of the poised regions expanded to increase the volume of production of wines for wine enthusiasts since the wines here have extraordinary flavors. For this reason, Sicily is sometimes described as a “viticultural island.”

Golden Sandy Beaches

The Sicilian islands that speckle its coasts and the mainland are both charming and plentiful as more pebble beaches than sandy ones characterize them.

Holiday Rentals

Sicily Island has some of the most fantastic holiday rentals near most of the beautiful beaches in the region. This Island has two faces, meaning you can choose to stay either in the resorts near the beaches or in the large towns. 

However, the actual value of this region is found along its coastal stretches, especially in the locations slightly off the beaten paths. Holiday rentals in Sicily comprise some of the most charming and beautiful villas that favor relaxation and privacy from other guests. 

Tourists also choose several destinations for holidays in Sicily, including Trapani, well-known for its saline conditions, and Motya, known for the ancient marble statue of Motya Charioteer.
