Sicily Lonely Planet Guide

The Sicily Lonely Planet guide is their most comprehensive guide that extensively covers all the island has to offer, with recommendations for both popular and lesser-known experiences. Discover the incredible architecture of Palermo, browse the markets of Catania and take in breathtaking views from atop Mount Etna; all with your trusted travel companion.

Sicily, the largest Mediterranean island, is just off the “toe” of Italy’s “boot.” Its rich history is reflected in sites like the Valley of the Temples, the well-preserved ruins of 7 monumental, Doric-style Greek temples, and in the Byzantine mosaics at the Cappella Palatina, a former royal chapel in capital city Palermo. On Sicily’s eastern edge is Mount Etna, one of Europe’s highest active volcanoes.
