Leaving Sardinia behind, the crossing to Sicily takes you across open Tyrrhenian water before Mount Etna's smoking summit often comes into view on the approach. Arriving near Palermo, the Norman Palace and Baroque churches of the old town are an easy first stop, with Taormina's clifftop views and the Baroque towns of the southeast further afield. The Capuchin Catacombs, an unusual and slightly macabre historical site beneath Palermo, is worth the detour for those interested in the city's stranger side.
