Overview
About this package
Eight days on the Mediterranean's largest island, where three thousand years of Greek, Norman and Arab history layer into something entirely its own. Climb the slopes of Mount Etna, still smoking; walk among the best-preserved Greek temples outside Greece at Agrigento; and eat your way through Palermo's legendary street-food markets. Sicily rewards the curious traveller richly. Add Palermo's Norman Palace mosaics, a coastal stop at golden-beach Cefalù, and Syracuse's ancient Greek theatre, and eight days trace three thousand years of layered island history.
