It had been on my bucket list for years, so when my husband, Johnrick, and I finally arrived, there was something special about discovering those stories for ourselves. We spent a little over two weeks road-tripping around the island, and somewhere between Palermo and Mount Etna, I began to understand just how much could change from one place to the next. With every turn in the road, Sicily seemed to take on a new character, shifting from grand and renowned to quiet and serene. It isn\u2019t tied to one particular season or style of escape, either. From its cities to its landscapes and all the places in between, every corner has its moment, making the question of where to stay in Sicily almost as varied as the island itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cherrie Lynn discovers an island with more than one story to tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":28237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"stoc_hidden_slugs":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[4581,18,15,3466,2878,3766,3856,2710,2003,3196,2877,3849],"class_list":["post-28226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-diaries","tag-catania","tag-europe","tag-italy","tag-monaci-delle-terre-nere-etna-wine-resort","tag-palermo","tag-pr005335","tag-pr010799","tag-rocco-forte-hotels","tag-sicily","tag-villa-igiea","tag-villa-igiea-palermo","tag-zafferana-etnea"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28226"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28267,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28226\/revisions\/28267"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kiwicollection.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
