Sicily is a Mediterranean paradise, where beauty, culture and history converge - a magical land forged by the mercurial Mount Etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes. Etna's dominating presence metaphorically divides the island into an idyllic east and a bustling west.

Murder aside, if this season has inspired you to plan your own Italian holiday, we've gathered the real-life 'White Lotus' locations, from Sicily's east to west - plus, all sights guests missed while stabbing each other in the back.
