All continental breakfasts and 1 dinner is included.Sicily's typically
southern Italian cuisine is interspersed with many more exotic dishes
reflecting the island's jumbled cultural past. Italian dishes like pasta alla
norma (made with tomatoes, aubergine and grated ricotta) are often found on
menus along with couscous (a north African speciality), or even pasta con le
sarde (a pasta dish dating back to Phoenician times made from sardines,
raisins, pine nuts, fennel, saffron, parsley and capers).The Arabs introduced
citrus groves to the island and a popular drink today is granita made with
crushed ice and lemon. This was traditionally drunk with sweet bread dipped
in it as a lunchtime snack by Sicilian peasants.Fish is of course also
abundant. Local specialities include pesce spada alla ghiotta (swordfish
cooked with tomatoes, capers, onion, celery and potatoes) or tonno fresco
alla brace (grilled fresh tuna). Fish is of course also abundant. Local
specialities include pesce spada alla ghiotta (swordfish cooked with
tomatoes, capers, onion, celery and potatoes) or tonno fresco alla brace

famed for its desserts. Why not try cannolo, a crunchy pastry tube filled
with ricotta cheese and studded with candied fruits, pistachio and chocolate?
Or cassata, the Arab influenced cake made with ricotta cheese, candied fruit
and chocolate pieces.Sicily is not traditionally famous for its wines, so it
is surprising to learn that the island boasts one of the largest wine
producing areas in the whole of Italy. Look out for the Etna DOC label and
Corvo di Salaparuta. One of Sicily's most popular wines is Alcamo Bianco -
a soft white which goes well with fish dishes, a soft white which goes well

made in Sicily which takes its name after the town where it is mostly
