Enna
Enna is the interiors main town and at an altitude of 1196 mtrs it’s the highest provincial capital of Italy. Its elevated position, so easily defensible, together with its geographical position in the centre of Sicily made it especially desirable and was therefore already established by one of Sicily's three indigenous peoples, the Siculi, from whom the name "Sicily" itself derives. This makes Enna one of the oldest continuously-inhabited cities on the island.

The ‘Belvedere of Sicily’ is also a university town that provides a juvenile atmosphere with nice bars and pubs. Also on Corso one can find the main fashion shops of Italy.

But in Sicily Enna is especially famous for its Easter celebrations, the Processione della Settimana Santa, a week-long festival beginning on Palm Sunday with the main event on the evening of Good Friday when Christ’s crucifixion is displayed in a procession; as if you were participating in a film set.

Pergusa Lake Area
Lake Pergusa is set between a group of mountains in the chain of Erei, and it is located 5 km from Enna. It is a vital place in the migratory current of lots of birds. In addition to birds, which are certainly the protagonists of the Pergusa nature reserve, here there are also interesting species of mammals, reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.
Around the lake, there is the most important racing track of Southern Italy, the Autodromo di Pergusa, that hosted international competitions and events, such as Formula 1, Formula 3000 and a Ferrari Festival with Michael Schumacher.
The important forest and green area named Selva Pergusina (that means "Pergusa's Wood") surrounds a part of the Lake Pergusa Valley, evocating a scenographic panorama.

Piazza Armerina
Piazza Armerina is famous for the near by Roman villa with beautifully preserved mosaics.
The medieval town itself is dominated by the coppola of the Cathedral. A typical Sicilian town with a main square where the inhabitants gather to have an ice cream let the children play and chat or play cards with each other.

Villa Romana del Casale, Piazza Armerina
You will remain speechless when entering the villa, impressed by the 3500 square meters of mosaics on the villa's floors and get struck by the size of the villa: numerous rooms of various dimensions display decorations of scenes of hunting, fishing, work in the fields, animal species and myths. Unimaginable this hard and precise work, lasting centuries, that we still are able to admire it today! However the most noted figures are the ten maidens dressed in scanty costumes, rather similar to the modern bikini. 

This rich collection of late Roman mosaics is unique in the world and therefore a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located about 5km outside the town of Piazza Armerina it’s a must-see for all visitors in to Sicily.

Morgantina
Near the little town of Aidone just down the road in the other direction from Piazza Armerina you will find the archaeological site of ancient Greek settlement of Morgantina.
Interesting to visit as it’s still quite an unknown site, although of great importance and probably beyond our imagination what still is to be explored.

Agrigento
Although most travel guides don’t recommend a visit to Agrigento town, we think it’s actually not a bad place at all. We would recommend staying there for 1 or 2 nights; so that you can take your time and explore the Valley of the Temples really well during the day and at night enjoy the sight of its illuminated temples from Agrigento town center. Thereafter strolling with the local people on the Corso in search for the best restaurant to dine that evening. The last few years proud Agrigento entrepreneurs have lightened up the town with cool and cosy bars and restaurants. 

Located on a plateau overlooking Sicily's southern coast, Agrigento was founded as Akragas around 582 BC. Akragas was renamed Agrigentum by the Romans, and Girgenti by the Saracens, only to be christened Agrigento in 1927, but the place is the same.

Valley of the Temples
The archaeological area known as the Valley of the Temples, is one of Sicily’s premier attractions. Actually it’s not a valley, as the complex of five temples remaining from the ancient city of Akragas is sited on a long ridge probably planned by the Greeks with regard to the seafarer’s view; and from the sea it must have in fact been a splendid sight.

In the 20th century widespread illegal construction work spoiled its beauty, but rigorous actions hope for restoration of one of the greatest areas of historical, artistic and scenic interest in Italy, a sight worthy of comparison to the Acropolis itself in Athens; certainly deserving its protection as a Unesco world heritage site (since 1998).

Tip: We highly recommend renting earphone guide for the site tour (different languages available); this makes your visit so much more interesting! 

Casa Natale di Pirandello, Agrigento
Luigi Pirandello was born in June 1867 in the countryside near Agrigento. His world famous works include novels, plays and essays, for which he was rewarded the Nobel Prize of Literature in 1934. His native house (built around the end of the 1600s) was declared a national monument in 1949 and work began to restore the house and its grounds.

The rooms that give onto the countryside house a vast collection of photographs, reviews and honors, first edition books with autographs, portraits and posters announcing Pirandello’s most famous plays given in some of the most prestigious theaters in the world, and many other items.

Interesting visit for those who are in the area and enthusiastic for literature.

Eraclea Minoa & Capo Bianco
The archaeological site of Eraclea Minoa is beautifully situated on the edge of a hill overlooking the sea. The site shows the ruins of a city, once founded by the Greeks and later taken over by the Romans. After many wars and sufferings the city was abandoned for good.
The remains today are tombs and traces of a temple, some buildings with fragment of Roman mosaics and an amphitheatre made of a particularly soft stone, hence in a poor condition.

Of more interest though is the beach! A stunning landscape of long stretches of fine sandy beaches, backed by pine trees and marked with tall white, marl cliffs overlooking the crystalline sea.

Butera
Medieval town with palaces of Sicilian nobility and dramatic views over the rugged inland up to the coast.

SOUTH BEACHES
Beaches are never far of reach in Sicily. The south coast with the Mediterranean Sea has soft sandy beaches protected by dunes. Long stretches of beach are alternated by summer residence centres with its lido’s, apartments, nightlife and entertainment. The most stunning one is definitely the one of Capo Bianco (Eraclea Minoa).
