Does Corleone ring a bell? Sure it does! Don Vito Corleone is a world-known mob boss in the Francis Ford Coppola film, The Godfather. Corleone is the hometown of this famous character. Many travellers visit it every year, attracted by curiosity about what is or is not true about the Italian mafia. Regardless of this, the town has attractions such as the Soprano Castle, the medieval Castle of the Franciscans and at least a hundred churches. Wander the beautiful streets of this unique Sicilian town.

Indulging yourself with delicious tastes, shapes, scents and colours. Sicilian food is a great pleasure enjoyed all over the world. Versatile Sicilian wines always pair up with the best culinary recipes of the island. Sicily is the cradle of the Mediterranean cuisine, enhanced by fish, meat and veggies. Try some Nebrodi salami, Caponata, eggplant Parmigiana, tomato of Pachino or Arancino, the maximum expression of Sicilian street food. The pistachio of Bronte is used in many sweet or savoury recipes. Those with a sweet tooth will enjoy the red oranges, the cannoli, the cassata and the granita, the best homemade ice cream with a brioche and the “tuppo”. For an extra portion of sweetness, have a bite of the tasty Frutta Martorana, exquisite marzipan sweets, perfectly reproducing vegetables and fruit. The true expression of gastronomical talent.

Legends, stories and anecdotes always go related to volcanoes. These fierce nature wonders have always amazed and scared people. Mount Etna is one of the biggest active volcanoes in the whole world. It is possible to climb to the top of it, going uphill through different paths, lunar landscapes and even snow! And not far from here, the Alcantara Gorges is a canyon between 50-metre lava stone walls, a true spectacle of the basalts, among lakes and waterfalls. Stromboli and Vulcano are the other two volcanoes of the Aeolian Islands and where the myth of Vulcano, god of fire, was forged. Also, Stromboli can be admired at night from a boat and see how the eruptions and the scarlet lava turn the night sky into a glowing red. Welcome to the land of intense smells, smoke, ashes and fire coming from the heart of the earth.

Get on a boat and experience the natural wonders of Sicily from the water. Lt the skipper take you to the most beautiful bays, coves and swimming spots. There is a route from Milazzo, Messina, to Vulcano, for a taste of the Aeolian Islands where you start early morning from the port of Santa Maria Maggiore and head to Mulberry Beach, for a nice dip into the crystal clear waters and enjoying great views of the Mount Etna, from the south coast of Vulcano. Visits to the Grotta del Cavallo, Pool of Venus or Fumaroles Beach are also part of the route. Another route is from Palermo to Mondello and Capo Gallo, the extended marine protected area, also with several spots along the way for a nice swim. And for a real sailing experience nothing better than a 6-day cruise around the Aeolian Islands, stopping at Lipari, Panarea, Stromboli, Salina, Filicudi and Vulcano. Have a good sailing!

There are certain celebrations a visitor should experience like a local. The Carnival fills the tables with macaroni, cavateddi, pignolata and chiacchiere. This feast has its ancient origins. Dances, masks and costumes fill up the streets during this celebration. Easter holidays in Trapani, Caltanissetta and Enna are a big celebration.
