Red in Fruit and Sauce

Those who love tomatoes will often look to Italy for culinary inspiration, with the red fruit growing freely in the warm climate and featuring in a thousand dishes.

Naturally enough, May brings its own tomato festival, held in the Sicilian town of Sampieri near Scicli, in the heart of tomato-growing country, featuring a week of fun and food dedicated to all things culinary, red and squashy.

Lovers of pizza and pasta staying in cheap hotels should enjoy themselves and eat well, while also enjoying the many other attractions of the island.

The Mediterranean beaches offer sun, sand and sea, but for a grander look at nature's wonders, a trip inland brings an encounter with Mount Etna, Europe's tallest volcano and one of the most active in the world.

The island also has a rich history, with historic buildings including the ruined Greek temple at Selinunte, plus there are also Roman, arab, Carthagenian and other historic influences reflecting the diverse range of civilizations that have lived on the island.
