Strategically situated between Europe and Africa, the island of Sicily is a cultural crossroads that was paved by legendary Mediterranean civilizations.
Begin your discovery of this fascinating island in Taormina, and see its many Greek, Roman and medieval monuments. Marvel at the island's scenic splendor during a drive to the volcanic crater of Mt. Etna, and explore archaeological ruins in Syracuse. En route to Mondello, view the remains of the Greek colony at Agrigento, described as ''the most beautiful city built by mortal men'' by the Greek poet Pindar. In Palermo, Sicily's largest city, admire stunning architecture, and marvel at the mosaics of the cathedral in Monreale. Then, discover the impressive Doric temple at Segesta, the mountaintop town of Erice and the picturesque fishing village of Cefalù.
