Most local neighbourhoods in Sicily

The chaotic Arab-Norman capital — Vucciria market, Cappella Palatina mosaics, street food and grandeur in equal measure.

Island-old-town and ancient Greek capital — Greek theatre, baroque cathedral built into a Greek temple, Ionian sea on three sides.

Black-lava baroque under Mount Etna — fish market theatre, university energy, the islands most direct city.

Greek temple ridge above the south coast — Concordia and Juno temples better preserved than most in Greece itself.

Cliff-top resort town with the islands most famous Greek theatre and a White Lotus tourism premium attached.
