Guide to Sicily |
|
Sicily is Italy's largest region and the largest island in
the Mediterranean Sea. Separated from Calabria by the Strait of
Messina, it includes the islands of Pantelleria and Ustica as well
as the Aeolian, Egadi and Pelagian Islands. Sicily is
considered to be highly rich in its own unique culture, especially
with regard to arts, cuisine, architecture
and even language. The Sicilian economy is largely based on
agriculture (famous for orange and lemon orchards).
This same rural countryside has attracted significant
tourism in the modern age as its natural beauty is highly valued. |
