With endless domestic and international options, travelers can get choosy with how, where, and when they spend their valuable time. While traditional vacation spots aren’t without awe, be sure to always take advantage of researching and exploring a country’s lesser-known areas for making the most unforgettable memories.
A typical venture to Italy, for example, will surely entail the museums of Florence or the breathtaking streets of Rome. While these are certainly must-see places, savvy travelers know that some of the country’s greatest treasures can be found on the islands dotting the waters off the coast. One of the better known of these is Sicily - a large island situated off the toe of Italy’s “boot” that offers rich culture, culinary treasures, and historical traditions. Three of the island’s must-see attractions include Mount Etna, the Greek Temples, and Villa Romana del Casale.
- Mount Etna: Rising more than 3,000 meters above sea level in the center of Sicily, the mountain stands as the largest active volcano in Europe. With beautiful hiking trails in summer and skiing in the winter, a trip here is always a good idea!
- Greek Temples: Though Sicily is part of Italy, the island features three Greek temples that rival any of the ancient monuments still standing in Greece. Agrigento is the most well known of these, but scattered along Sicily’s southern and western coasts are two other striking examples, Selinunte and Segesta.
- Villa Romana del Casale: Tucked into the hillside near the town of Piazza Armerina, this structure is one of the most elaborate Roman villas in existence. Visitors and scholars alike prize it for its large number of truly inspiring mosaics and architectural detail.
