> Occupation by a succession of great civilisations has made Sicily a rich
> melting pot with a deep seam of insularity. Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans
> and Spaniards for centuries fought over the island and now a new group of
> outsiders - foreign second-home buyers - is making its presence felt.

> Sicily sits just 3km off Italy's coast but somehow remains a world apart.
> The island is one of the last outposts of traditional Italian life, with a
> coastline mostly unsullied by large beach developments. Baroque towns brim
> with sites of architectural and historic interest, fishing villages maintain
> a centuries-old rhythm of life and small beach resorts have a level of
> service that is rough-edged yet hospitable.
