Sicily and Sardinia are the two largest islands in the Mediterranean, ancient and with a rich history. They occupy a body of water called the Tyrrhenian Sea. The "sole" of Italy's boot is a landscape of resorts, mainly for Italians.
Summer life there is slow but festive, reveling in the bounty of the land and ever-present sunshine. We visited this part of Italy on our previous Mediterranean voyages, and we're happy to be returning to Italy's warm hospitality.

We ambled through Sicily and Sardinia in 2012 the way that Italians do: away from the mainland. In 2013, the itinerary takes us along the southernmost shores of the land of pasta and gelato. We're already hungry.
