The hinterland of Sicily is the heart of the island, it is a little-known area. Here time flows naturally, and the contact with the locals is wonderful. It is a land rich in cultural expressions, millenary traditions, archaeological, architectural and naturalistic treasures. Many places make you want to stay forever.
Let’s discover the slopes of Mount Etna or the Simeto Nature Reserve: this area is rich in lava caves, waterfalls, rapids and small lakes. The Piana degli Albanesi Lake, on the other hand, is an area teeming with life. From the Bosco Della Ficuzza, we find ourselves in the heart of the Parco delle Madonie, dotted with small towns where time flows slowly and quietly.
Enna is the highest town in Italy, and from here you can enjoy a panoramic view over the whole island. Caltanissetta has a historical centre full of Renaissance and Baroque monuments.
Sutera is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. The Teatro di Andromeda in Santo Stefano Quisquina is a magical place surrounded by the pastoral landscape of the Monti Sicani.
Despite being in the centre of Sicily, far from the coast, you can enjoy the incredible and unique view of the Aeolian Islands. You will feel like you have just completed a journey into the most unusual and authentic Sicily.
