Italian Enchantments from Palermo to Mount Etna
"Fertile the isle," said Shakespeare of Sicily. And how true those words ring. Warmed by the Mediterranean sun, salted by the sea air and nurtured by the rich volcanic soil of legendary Mount Etna, Sicily's natural treasures flourish. They're in the landscape, the food and the wine. They've shaped the history, the art and the architecture. And they're the pride of the island's warm and passionate people. The Bard said it best in Winter's Tale, but Sicily dazzles year-round.
Highlights
- Voyage from traditional Sicilian fishing towns to dramatic Mount Etna, discovering the island's captivating history
- Hike trails through Sicily's varied terrain—lush vineyards, alpine forests, coastal cliffs and ancient black lava fields
- Enrich your Italian journey with wine tastings, incomparable cuisine and leisure time at Mediterranean hotels
- Activate all of your senses as you take in the sights, sounds and flavors of splendid Taormina and vibrant Cefalù
