Going off the beaten path in Sicily is easy. In just a few minutes’ drive from larger cities and towns, you can discover yourself in the midst of flora and fauna: fields of millions of wildflowers, curving roadways that lead to forgotten hill-top villages, striking rock formations jutting out of the earth’s crush, and the spontaneity of the lush natural world.There’s beauty when you take a walk on the wild side.
