Set on the edge of the Mediterranean Sea, Sciacca is a fishing port which has remained untouched by mass tourism. Sicily, a beautiful island located in the Mediterranean Sea, with its rich natural heritage, represents one of the most interesting tourist destinations. Sun, blue sea, and beaches, are the natural attractions of a place full of history and culture, celebrated throughout the centuries by writers and poets, who have spread its fame from ancient times up to the present.
"Having visited Italy without seeing Sicily is like not having seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the key to everything". (Goethe)
Sicily is a fascinating mixture of different races following each other over the centuries: Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Byzantines, Turks, Goths, Spaniards and French. Such dominations have left their mark on the island's history and architecture as well as on Sicily's traditions and gastronomy. In fact, religious festivals, monuments and regional dishes testify that the island is a crucible of different civilizations.
It will be a fabulous holiday, as in a dream.
