Serenity in the Sicilian countryside
Head east out of Palermo through the forested mountains and picturesque rural villages and you’ll land in Pollina – a pocket-sized town that’s rumoured to reside on the site of an ancient Sicilian city. Quaint doesn’t even begin to cover the classic stone houses and higgledy-piggledy cobbled streets that wind their way up and around the hillside here.
With the peaks of Madonie National Park as a backdrop, and the expansive blue waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea laid out along the horizon, this place oozes serenity – and as yet is somewhat of a well-kept secret. Sicilian sightseers head for the palaces of Palermo or the craters of Catania, and overlook this hidden gem in between – but not for long.
If you’re looking for a healthy dose of sunshine, sea, and Sicilian hospitality, Pollina could be just the ticket.

Fairly laid-back. You won’t find any thumping club nights around these parts, but depending on where you stay there’ll be bars and restaurants that keep the doors open after nightfall.
