6 Wonders of
Ancient Sicily

A Mediterranean crossroads for 25 centuries, Sicily is heir to an unparalleled
cultural legacy, from the temples of Magna Graecia to Norman churches
made kaleidoscopic by Byzantine and Arab craftsmen. This trip takes you
from exotic, palm-fanned Palermo to the baroque splendours of Syracuse
and Catania. On the way, you’ll also experience Sicily’s startlingly diverse
landscape, including bucolic farmland, smouldering volcanoes and long
stretches of aquamarine coastline.
