Sciacca: Our First Base For Photography in Sicily
Yesterday we kicked off Photography in Sicily with Don Toothaker and Hunt’s Photo & Video. I am so excited to co-host this 10-day photography workshop that we’ve been planning for two years! Here we are in Sciacca, where it’s beautiful and off the beaten path and… Fabulously photogenic!
Borgo Parrini Inspires
Yesterday, I took a side trip to Borgo Parrini, a tiny neighborhood of the town of Partinico, which you’ll find a few miles west of Palermo.

Explore Sicily’s Southwestern Coast
Porto Palo is a charming fishing village in Southern Sicily. Near Menfi, it offers an off the beaten path seaside experience from where you can explore the Mediterranean coast between Scala dei Turchi and Selinunte by leisure boat. We’ll show you the way with our friends at Amare Sicilia.
Exploring Ragusa Ibla
Yesterday, I spent a splendid morning exploring the secret staircases and hidden alleyways of Ragusa Ibla. I was imagining what life must have been like when these viccoli where traveled more regularly by residents. After climbing dozens of stairs in out-of-the-way sections of town, I sat in the Piazza Duomo enjoying this lovely view of…
