Sicily, a beautiful island strategically positioned between Europe and Africa, is a unique melting pot of Mediterranean civilizations that includes the Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Spanish and French. For 2,000 years the Mediterranean was the epicenter for the western world and Sicily was its focal point. These early civilizations left behind a wealth of architectural treasures including magnificent Byzantine mosaics, splendid Greek Temples, Greek and Roman Amphitheaters and beautiful Baroque cathedrals. This issue of The European Traveller focuses on the world class treasures found in East Sicily, including the beautiful resort town of Taormina (with its splendid Greek Temple); historic Siracusa, with its astonishing Greek and Roman remains; the beautiful Roman villa at Piazza Armerina; and the Greek Temples at Agrigento, which along with the Acropolis in Athens, comprise the most splendid monuments from ancient Greece. Sicily is just emerging as a major tourist destination and its hotels are evolving along with it. The issue identifies the best hotels, the best hotel values and the rooms with the best views. Sicilian cooking is a rich blend of traditions and tastes and the most authentic restaurants are featured. The issue also highlights important travel tips. Subscribers may also want to consider the issues on Rome, Amalfi and the next issue on West Sicily.
