About the episode
This week on The Vacay, we’re heading to the sun-drenched island of Sicily, the largest in the Mediterranean and one of Europe’s most fascinating cultural crossroads. Host Sophie Jackson is joined by Jenni Marr from Helloworld, who shares her expert tips and favourite must-see spots on this triangle-shaped gem at the toe of Italy’s boot. From the ancient ruins of Agrigento's Valley of the Temples to the dramatic heights of Mount Etna, Sicily blends natural beauty with a deep, layered history that includes Greek colonies, baroque cities, and a strong (and cinematic) Mafia past. We talk about the best ways to explore, whether you’re self-driving or joining a guided tour, plus the food, oh, the food! Think fresh seafood, unbeatable cannoli, and vibrant markets. Whether you're dreaming of wandering the streets of Syracuse, relaxing in Taormina, or tasting your way around the coast, this episode is full of inspiration and practical advice.
