First-time visitors to Sicily should note that the island's year splits into two Mediterranean halves, with hot, dry summers and milder, wetter winters, and the peak season running June-September. Island cooking leans heavily on seafood, handmade pasta, olive oil and local wines, with rice, grilled fish and tropical fruit forming the core of most meals. Flights, ferries and hydrofoils link Italy's islands to the mainland, while Italian is the everyday tongue and English is widely understood in tourist areas. Taormina is another major town on Sicily, offering a contrast to Paternò for those extending their stay.
