Searching for a new experience? Let JustTravelDeals Italy craft you a unique travel itinerary. Escape to Italy's islands. The island of Sicily is magical and dream-like, a timeless environment where the world is renewed at each peach tinted sunrise. The feel of the countryside and its way of life are an ancient alliance between man, soil, beast and nature. When the rest of Europe is in the grip of sleet and snow, fog and ice, spring comes to Sicily. Century old olive trees, gnarled into Salvador Dali shapes, reveal a delicate canopy of pale pink and white blossoms. Venture to Taormina, a popular resort town located on Sicily's east coast. Perched on the side of a mountain, witness incredible views of the ocean and Mount Etna. Discover ancient ruins, a fine medieval quarter blended with trendy shops and restaurants. With a history during which Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Tunisians, Normans, French and Spanish occupations have all left their mark, Sicily has a culture and atmosphere that are subtly different from those of “il continente” (mainland Italy).
