Overview

Once rival to Athens, the island of Sicily is truly the crossroads of the Mediterranean. See the influence of a panorama of civilizations in the Greek, Phoenician and Roman temples and theaters, Arab palaces, Norman cathedrals, Baroque churches, and timeless stone farmhouses.



Highlights include a tour of the World Heritage site, Agrigento’s Valley of the Temples, the well-preserved Roman mosaics at the Villa del Casale and Taormina’s famed Greek theater. Travel up the mighty volcano of Mt Etna. Traversing this unique island, admire the rugged hills of the interior and the breathtaking coasts covered in vibrant wildflowers in springtime.

Experience the hospitality of Sicily, dining in a private family palazzo in Palermo and enjoying an exquisite lunch of Sicilian specialties at a private country farmstead.
