Catania at the foot of Mount Etna is the gateway for excursions to Europe's highest active volcano (3,357 m). Guided Etna tours cross lava fields up to the craters; the city centre with the Elephant Fountain and the cathedral complex is itself baroque UNESCO World Heritage.
Taormina sits on a rocky spur above the Ionian Sea and is regarded as the loveliest spot in Sicily. The Greek-Roman theatre with Mount Etna in the background is one of the most spectacular ancient settings; ships moor at Giardini-Naxos at the foot of the hill.
Palermo is Sicily's lively capital, with Arab-Norman monuments designated as UNESCO World Heritage. Excursions lead to Monreale (cathedral with 6,400 m² of gold mosaics) or to ancient Agrigento with the Valley of the Temples - one of the most striking Greek ruin sites outside Greece.
Trapani is the gateway for excursions to Segesta (a Doric temple from the 5th century BC set in remote uplands) and to the ruins of Selinunte. The Saline di Trapani - sprawling salt pans with historic windmills - form a unique landscape on Sicily's western shore.
On the south-east coast of Sicily in the baroque UNESCO region of Val di Noto in the province of Ragusa, this harbour is the southernmost point of the Italian peninsula and the launching point for fast ferries to Malta. Sandy beaches, the 15th-century Cabrera Tower and the nearby baroque towns mark its surroundings.
In antiquity, Syracuse was one of the most powerful cities in the Mediterranean and the home of Archimedes. Its centre on the island of Ortygia - a cathedral built on Greek temple foundations, baroque squares and the Arethusa Fountain - has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2005.
The capital of Malta is one of the smallest yet richest capitals in the world. A UNESCO World Heritage baroque city, it has more museums and churches per square kilometre than any other city; Grand Harbour is one of the finest natural harbours in the Mediterranean.
