A new feature for\u00a0Lonely Planet Traveller<\/em>\u00a0magazine covering the fascinating island of Sicily, from Mount Etna\u2019s volcanic slopes to the black beaches of the Aeolian Islands.<\/h3>\n

It also includes sections on Palermo’s food culture, the chic style of Taormina and Scicli’s baroque architecture.<\/h3>\n

There is also a handy ‘Make It Happen’ section on general travel in Sicily, with recommendations on places to stay, where to eat and what to see around the rest of the island.<\/h3>\n

The story is one of the lead features of the February 2014 issue of the magazine, and features lots of beautiful photos by my longstanding friend and colleague, Matt Munro<\/a>, who’s recently come back from a round-the-world trip to celebrate Lonely Planet’s 40th birthday.<\/h3>\n

The article was republished in Australia by\u00a0The Age<\/a>.<\/h3>\n
