Sicily is considered to be Italy's main island. It is also the largest and one of the most popular of all the islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
We recommend you visit Palermo, the island's capital, a beautiful city that combines Medieval and Arab features in a truly magical way. Here you can visit the Church of St. John of the Hermits. Another must is Taormina, where you can visit an impressive Greek theatre and the volcano of Etna. Syracuse is another stunning city. In its old part (Ortigia) you can find delightful beaches, historic houses and the Aretusa fountain, which gives fresh water, very close to the sea. Do not miss it. In Agrigento you can visit the Valley of the Temples and the "via Atenea".
Near Palermo are the Segesta and Selinunte archaeological parks. Sicily hides many myths and legends related to the Italian mafia and so there is a popular tour, known as the "mafia tour", that displays different sites characteristic of the island: the Justice Palace, the Ucciardone prison, the Massimo theatre, where scenes from The Godfather were filmed and the famous town of Corleone. Discover Sicily!

Excelsior Hilton Palermo
Palermo, Sicily
Reviews : 4.4 / 5
This city hotel is an important reference point for business customers and those who intend to experience the city's elegant and historical atmosphere. It was built for the occasion of the National Exhibition of 1891 (originally known as Hotel de la Paix) and reflects the splendour and elegance of Art Nouveau. Since that time, it has continually been used as a meeting place for social and entertainment events, all organised within its splendid ballroom, for both Italian and foreign visitors. Even today it represents one of the most important elements of the Palermitan Belle Époque of the late 19th Century. Its ballroom was always filled with gentlemen and ladies and was a cat-walk for the parading nobility. Refurbished in 2007, the fully air-conditioned hotel offers a total of 116 rooms. Facilities include: lobby with 24-hour reception, hotel safe, currency exchange, lift access, café, restaurant, conference facilities, WLAN access point, as well as room service.
