Sicily is separated from the Italian mainland by the Strait of Messina and is surrounded by the Tyrrhenian Sea in the north and the Ionian Sea in the east. The Strait of Sicily, which is located southwest of Sicily, is a strait between Tunisia and Sicily. It connects the eastern with the western Mediterranean. The majority of Sicily consists of a mountain or hill landscape, with the coastal landscape on the east- and north coasts, rising steeply out of the sea. Many rocky coasts and bays with some sandy beaches can be found here. To the south, the country and the stretches of coast become flatter. Here you will also find the longest sandy beaches in Sicily.
If you want to take a small city trip on your luxury charter, the capital Palermo is an excellent choice. You should start with the old town, where you will find the impressive royal-, Norman palace that was built on an Arab castle. Also worth seeing are the churches “S. Giovanni degli Eremiti”, “S. Cataldo” and “S. Maria dell´Ammiraglio”. Furthermore, a walk through the colorful “Vucciria” market would be worthwhile, where you will get an insight into the variety and typical products of the Sicily region. A little higher and not far from Palermo resides Monreale, which is known for its beautiful cathedral “S. Maria la Nuova”. Here you can admire some exceptional Bible motifs and mosaics. Discover the cities of Cefalu and Taormina, the UNESCO World Heritage Site “Valle di Noto” or the impressive basalt canyon “Gola di Alcantara”.
