Exclusive motherland edition: Sicily

I have been waiting my whole life to visit Sicily. Sicily is the biggest island in the Mediterranean Sea.  All of my grandparents are from this island. I had the opportunity to visit this summer and stay with family. I stayed in Campobello di Mazara  where my family still resides. It all started in Campobello di Mazara... 

While in Campobello di Mazara for two weeks, I took day trips to nearby cities and towns to explore more of the island. If you enjoy island hoping, I suggest traveling to Sicily for a new taste of culture and tradition. 

Traveling to Sicily can be done by either flight or ship. I chose to take a flight from Rome to Palermo. My family members who live in Napoli choose to take the overnight ship. I plan to do that during my next visit. I have never done it before, and I think it would be an awesome experience. 

Overall, this trip was absolutely amazing. I have highlighted my top 5 adventures below. 

My Adventures: 
  • Tre Fontane Beach 
    • Grab a cornetti for breakfast, a brioche for a snack and a pizza for dinner 
  • Castellammare del Golfo 
    • Walk around and enjoy the colorful scenery with a sweet gelato in hand 
  • Triscina 
    • ​Drive through the endless olive tree farms 
  • Selinunte 
    • Tour and learn about the ancient Greek city 
  • San Vito Lo Capo 
    • ​Relax on the beach and enjoy a swim in the calmest warm waters 

I enjoyed all my new discoveries, but I especially loved the time I spent with my family. Home cooked meals stuffed me almost every night, and  endless conversations kept me up until the sunrise. I will never forget these sweet memories. I can't wait to visit again. 

Enjoy the photos :)

Love Always, 
Carina
