Miles of lava fields at the base of brooding Mount Etna and walks among the gods in Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples (dating back to 510 BC) demand a wander. Meanwhile, the winding shopping streets of Taormina, with its volcano views and theatre, dip visitors’ toes into the everyday lives of the island’s Grecian heritage. Baroque towns Noto, Syracuse and Ragusa fast-forward a little, offering up intricate architecture that turns heads at every corner. But nowhere highlights the changing of times quite like the island’s charismatic capital – Palermo.
