SICILY – A FUSION OF COLOUR, SUNSHINE, HISTORY AND WINE

The crossroads of the Mediterranean Sea

This is your chance to discover the real Sicily. Stay in the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Ragusa Ibla. Stay in a former palazzo, now a bed & breakfast in Palermo, marvel at the spectacular Greek Temples in Agrigento. Visit the Baroque Palaces of the 18th century. Relax in Taormina for spectacular views and a charming, historic old town complete with ancient Greek theatre. Enjoy the finest foods and wines and delicious ice creams that Sicily has to offer. This is the crossroads of the Mediterranean, a fabulous mixture of north and south, east and west. A visit to Sicily is a feast for the senses and a revelation for the emotions.
