The largest of the Mediterranean islands, Sicily is simply one of the most sun drenched islands you will ever run across. Sicily's lush green hill sides and snow white beaches contrast wonderfully with the shimmering blue Mediterranean Sea, in turn splashing against a coast of quaint fishing villages and fashionable resorts. Those who have never visited before need to prepare themselves - as the reality will shift their brightest expectations. And those who had been to Sicily before know that flights to Sicily are the quickest way to make your vacation dreams a reality.

The Tyrrhenian coast, running from Messina westward to the capital at Palermo, is one of the most frequented routes in Sicily. You can, of course, drive straight through to Palermo and not see a thing, but if you do, you'll miss some of the treasures of Sicily. The Tyrrhenian coast is riddled with sandy beaches, small resorts, and villages. If you have time for only one stopover, make it Cefalo, the premier destination along the Tyrrhenian coast thanks in part to its famous Romanesque cathedral.
