The North Coast
and Central Sicily

The North Coast and Central Sicily – Mountains, Villages and Island Life

Sicily’s north coast offers historic seaside towns such as Cefalù and Termini Imerese, as well as access to the Madonie and Nebrodi mountains. The region combines coastline, vast landscapes and traditional villages – and not least proximity to the Aeolian Islands. On islands such as Salina, Lipari and Stromboli, you encounter a distinct culture where history remains present in both the landscape and everyday life. All with easy access to Palermo.

This is the area for those who want to combine small-town life, the sea and the islands – without moving around too much.

We have experienced the north coast as more varied and less predictable than many expect. Here, you can move from sea to mountains in a short time, and daily life feels less polished – more authentic. It is a great part of Sicily that reveals itself gradually.

Here you’ll find our guides to the towns and places we have explored in this part of eastern Sicily.
