Sicily is an island the size of Belgium with the cultural density of a continent. Greek temples (Agrigento, Selinunte). Norman churches (Monreale, Palatina). Baroque cities (Noto, Ragusa, Modica). An active volcano (Etna). Street food that makes Naples jealous. A car lets you connect all of this in 10 days. Driving guide → · Ferries to Sicily →
