  Shaped by a blend of Arab and Christian cultures, Sicily may be the ball to the boot of Italy, but it is also only a boat ride from the coast of North Africa. It is thus an intriguing destination for travellers, offering Arab-Norman architecture, Italian-cum-North-African cooking, and landscapes raning from citrus groves and wheatlands to dramatic volcanic mountains cut by gorges and crowned by lava-stone castles. Part of the Inside Pocket Guides series, this book takes the reader on do-it-yourself itineraries, including all-day tours, half-day tours and short excursions. Hotels, restaurants and shops and supplies are also provided, with practical information on how to get there, when to go, what clothes to take, what visas to obtain and what to do in an emergency.
