Sicilian Signature

Sicily is a breathtaking mosaic of landscapes and cultural influences. Palermo’s Arab and Norman heritage is evident in the eclectic architecture of the city, also home to one of Europe’s largest opera houses, Teatro Massimo. The seaside town of Sciacca, popular for its ceramics and thermal springs, is also among the Sicilian highlights. Nearby is the ancient city of Agrigento, famous for its Valley of the Temples, a true archaeological jewel. In Syracuse, Greek ruins, medieval lanes and beautiful basilicas will capture your imagination. Also distinguished by Greek structures is the resort town of Taormina, perched on a clifftop amidst splendid settings. From here, take a trip to the imposing Mount Etna, among Europe’s largest and most active volcanoes, where you can discover lava caves, extinct craters and a variety of wildlife. But no visit to Sicily is complete without visiting some of the shooting locations of the classic film, The Godfather, in Messina!
