The best walking in Sicily

When it comes to walking in Sicily, we offer a choice between the westernmost reaches, including the Egadi Islands, and the central Madonie Mountains. Both holidays explore peaceful rugged slopes and offer commanding coastal views – from the Madonie Mountains you can gaze north across the sea to the Aeolian Islands, while the wonders of the west coast include the Zingaro Nature Reserve.
