EXPLORE

Ever since the Taormina-set second season of The White Lotus, this idyllic Italian island has become a destination for gelato- and luxury-hungry tourists, including A-listers like Ashley Graham and Kate Hudson. Beat the crowds by sticking to the quieter west coast closer to the capital, Palermo. Nearby, you'll find must-see sites such as Selinunte Archaeological Park (1), with ruins rivalling those of ancient Greece, and beaches like San Vito Lo Capo that give Taormina's buzzy Isola Bella a run for its money.
