Sicily, the largest island of Italy, holds over 3000 years of history and tradition. The rugged yet picturesque landscape found here vibrates with the essence of the past. Sicily offers an intensity comparable to none, thanks to its incredible architecture and a wide variety of gastronomic delights. Catania and Syracuse are two cities that define the ethos of Sicily. With its vibrant and metropolitan atmosphere, Catania sits at the foot of Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, and is often witness to spectacular eruptions of light and mystic charm. Syracuse is one of the most beautiful gems in Sicily, with its buzzing urban section and the historically affluent and charming neighborhood of Ortigia, a small island. Layers of Greek ruins, Baroque monuments, and beautiful streetscapes epitomize Sicily’s historical importance. By dividing your time between these two cities, you will delve deep into the southeastern part of Sicily - the most beautifully rich with arts and treasures. You will explore the beautiful coast along Marzamemi or the Cyclops Riviera, visit the incredible towns of Noto, Ragusa, and Taormina, and of course, sample the fabulous wines together with some of the most fantastic cuisine in Italy!
