Read excerpt
The island of Sicily is a bit of a vacation mecca. Why, you ask? How does over 2,600 hours of sunshine per annum sound? What about some of the very best food in Italy?

But there are also places that might be best avoided during the chillier times, such as the salt-washed reaches of the legendary Amalfi Coast, for example. Now, this might be one of Italy's most
