Come to fantasy island

Just when you might have forgotten about Sicily, its most famous natural feature — Etna — experiences one of its periodic volcanic upheavals and brings the Mediterranean's largest and most rewarding island back to prominence. One of Europe's more varied corners, the island is a world apart, separated from the rest of Italy not only by the sea, but also by centuries of history and cultural experience.

Between the 8th and 3rd centuries ВС its rulers were Greek; in the 9th and 10th century it was under Arab domination; and in the 1th century it was the turn of the Normans. Between times, the island attracted the Romans, Carthaginians, Vandals, Spanish, Byzantines, French and Bourbons — even the British.

All left their mark, from the temples and theatres of the Greeks at Agrigento, Segesta and elsewhere to the Roman mosaics at Piazza Armerina and the sublime Norman cathedrals at Cefalu and Monreale.

Not that Sicily begins and ends with culture: all the other great Italian lures are here — superb food; big, robust wines; beautiful landscapes — from the volcanic to the purely pastoral — good shopping (in Palermo, at least) and the certainty of delicious ice cream (invented here) and the perfect cup of coffee in any bar.

September and October — and April and May — are the best months to enjoy these pleasures, the island's southerly latitude all but guaranteeing balmy weather.

Here we pick a Sicilian top 10 — though there are plenty of other cultural highlights and landscapes that would be the envy of entire countries — and offer a range of ideas and operators who offer an oblique look at the island.

Agrigento

The Valley of the Temples is one of the world's foremost Hellenistic sites, dominated by the superb niins of the ancient Greek Acragas — the 'loveliest of all mortal cities' according to Pindar. The 5th-century ВС Tempio di Concordia, one of nine temples here, is the finest in the Greek world after the Thesion temple in Athens.

Cefalu

This charming town has one of Italy's loveliest squares: four large and graceful palms guard each corner, while a sublime Norman cathedral — one of Europe's finest Romanesque buildings — frames the piazza to the rear. The town also boasts some good beaches and has largely escaped the modern building that has blighted much of Sicily.

Etna

Europe's highest (10,900ft) and most-active volcano put on one of its periodic displays last month, but the mountain is worth seeing at any time. Volcanic activity may keep you away from parts of the peak, but the verdant foothills and much of the blasted volcanic landscapes at higher altitudes are safe and easily accessible. To explore the mountain, rent a car and drive through the country lanes that lace the lower slopes, join four-wheel-drive tours or ride the 70-mile railway that circumnavigates the colossus from Catania.
