Synopsis

· Waterproof · Tear-Resistant · Travel Map

Explore the vibrant history and rural beauty of the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea with National Geographic's Sicily Adventure Map. This expertly crafted map provides global travelers with the perfect combination of detail and perspective, highlighting hundreds of points of interest and many diverse and unique destinations within the country including national parks, archeological sites, prehistoric monuments, museums, palaces, castles, churches, and more. Cities and towns are clearly indicated and easy to find in the user-friendly index. A road network complete with distances and designations for motorways, expressways, scenic routes and more will help you find the route that's right for you.

Sicily's western half is shown on the front side of the print map including the cities of Trapani, Palermo, Caltanissetta, Licata, Agrigento, Sciacca, Marsala, and Mazara del Vallo. Inset maps of Isola di Ustica, Isola di Pantelleria, Isola di Linosa, and Isole Pelagie provide greater detail of the islands. The reverse side of the map covers the eastern portion of the region and shows the cities of Gela, Syracuse, Catania, Messina, and Milazzo and an inset map of Isole Lipari.

Sicily is Italy's most agricultural region with rich vineyards and orchards thriving in the fertile volcanic soils of Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe. Greek colonies established in the eighth century B.C., left ruined temples and theaters that are now some of the island's most popular tourist attractions.

Every Adventure Map is printed on durable synthetic paper, making them waterproof, tear-resistant and tough — capable of withstanding the rigors of international travel.
