Anyone who has holidayed in Sicily will agree that the island has an altogether different feel to the rest of Italy. On the surface, the food and wine, the beach culture and the traditional \u2018passeggiata\u2019 are still very much in evidence, but dive beneath the surface and the island\u2019s multi-layered and utterly fascinating character starts to unravel.<\/p>\n

Of course, where you stay on the island will make a big difference to your overall experience. While the seaside resorts of Cefal\u00f9 and Taormina have featured on the tourist map for many years, a holiday outside these towns will probably leave you with a very different impression of our gem of an island!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Read on for some handy hints on how to experience a more authentic holiday in Sicily<\/a> and what to expect.<\/p>\n

Getting off the beaten track<\/h3>\n

The first thing to remember is that once you venture into the more remote regions, English speakers may be few and far between. In fact, even if you speak some Italian, you may struggle at times with the local dialect. Be prepared too, for reduced infrastructure (a car is essential) and less well-maintained roads and don\u2019t be surprised to find closed shops and sleepy towns during siesta time!<\/p>\n

When it comes to choosing where to stay, you can look forward to a more authentic experience if you stay in a villa away from the coast. Think about taking a holiday home near the Madonie or Nebrodi mountains where the atmosphere is quite different to the seaside towns.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t to say you have to head inland to discover the real Sicily. The capital, Palermo, offers a spectacular glimpse of Sicilian life. This noisy but vibrant city boasts some of the island\u2019s most magnificent Arab-Norman architecture, lively markets and mouth-watering \u2018east meets west\u2019 cuisine.<\/p>\n

Food and drink in Sicily<\/h3>\n

Experiencing authentic Sicilian cuisine couldn\u2019t be easier. The best rule of thumb is to shop locally, eat what\u2019s in season and drink wine from local producers.\u00a0 There\u2019s a strong focus on seafood, particularly swordfish, throughout the island but once you venture inland, you\u2019ll see a greater emphasis on meat (particularly lamb and pork) and fine sheep\u2019s cheeses, alongside freshly-harvested figs, mushrooms and nuts.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, even within Sicily, regions and towns have their own specialities and signature dishes. This is perhaps most obvious on the west coast where the Arab influence was greatest.<\/p>\n

For an authentic market experience, head for the fish market in Catania or La Vucciria in Palermo where local treats include traditional street food such as fresh octopus and chickpea fritters.<\/p>\n

Arts and Culture<\/h3>\n

Mention \u2018culture\u2019 in the same breath as \u2018Sicily\u2019 and the first thing that springs to mind are the ancient Greek temples \u2013 at Agrigento, Syracuse, Segesta and Selinunte. Equally fascinating, but far less visited are the ruins of the fascinating city of Morgantina with its well-preserved theatre; or the mosaic floors at Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina.<\/p>\n

For a touch of contemporary culture, head for the open-air Fiumara d\u2019Arte, an outdoor sculpture museum; or the hilltop town of Favara, home to the creative Farm Cultural Park. If drama\u2019s more your thing, the very unique open-air Teatro di Andromeda, in the hills of Santo Stefano Quisquina near Agrigento, is the creation of Lorenzo Reina, a sculptor and farmer.<\/p>\n

Local festivals and celebrations<\/h3>\n

Joining in a local \u2018sagra\u2019 or festival is one of the best ways we know to really immerse yourself in Sicilian culture. Carnival, Easter celebrations, Christmas nativity scenes and festivals honouring local saints such as Santa Rosalia in Palermo and Sant\u2019Agata in Catania, fill the calendar. At other times, mingle with the locals at festivals celebrating onions (Giarratana), pistachios (Bronte) and very traditional Sicilian \u2018cannoli\u2019 (Piana degli Albanesi).<\/p>\n

Keen to join in the fun of the Acireale Carnival? Terrazza sul Mare is situated overlooking the tiny fishing port of Pozzillo, just outside Acireale, and is also ideally located for visits to Catania and Mount Etna.<\/p>\n
