EASTERN SICILY IS home to a vibrant culinary tradition that mixes delicious local produce with cooking styles drawn from its many foreign rulers – Byzantines, Arabs, Normans and the Spanish.

Each adding new ingredients from their far-flung empires to further enrich the Sicilian repertoire and make the island a perfect pilgrimage for a cultural and gastronomic tour. The modern cuisine is one of the defining creations of the uniquely diverse past of this great island and its history, culture and archaeology will be fundamental elements of our journey.
