Sustainable Tourism in Sicily: Organic Surprises and Cultural Delights
“To have seen Italy without having seen Sicily is not to have seen Italy at all, for Sicily is the clue to everything.” -Goethe We’ve always loved Sicily. Not just because my hubby’s half Sicilian (his father’s from near Messina), or because it’s lovingly steeped in antiquity.
