"Remarkable for its natural landscape, azure ocean, and historic and archaeological sites from Greek, Roman, and Norman periods, as well as for its baroque art and architecture. Its resort towns are charming and full of life, while the more remote islands offer secluded vacation spots."
"An island of considerable contrasts, with terrain-altering human habitation going back thousands of years. You can find a petrochemical plant standing next to an ancient amphitheater."
"Loads of history and traditions to be discovered. Diverse landscape, good food, nice beaches. Overall, extremely rich heritage. Tourism is well-managed. They have a nice quality of life, but constantly contending with crime issues, from pickpockets to more serious things. Poverty in degraded urban areas is also a problem."
"Tourism impacts are dwarfed by the activity of Mt. Etna."
