THE SICILIAN 10 DAY TOUR WITH GLOBUS AND THE WOMEN'S TRAVEL GROUP
Your 10-day Italy tour of Sicily is packed with architectural treasures that have withstood the ages. You'll begin your tour with guided sightseeing in Palermo's ornate city of piazzas, markets, and churches.
You'll relish the baroque style of the city's historic sites, and savor authentic Sicilian culinary specialties that have been handed down for generations. From panelle, arancini, and cannoli – to almond biscuits and Marsala wines – your escorted tour of Sicily is an epicurean's dream when it comes to cuisine. You'll also be treated to a tasting at Sicily's oldest chocolate factory.
As you tour the perimeter of the beautiful island of Sicily, you'll also enjoy a cruise to the small island of Motya for a museum tour, as well as escorted tours through Sicily's centuries-old UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the elaborate Villa Romana del Casale in Piazza Armerina.
From palaces to churches, you'll encounter ancient works of art, architecture, and archaeological treasures. You'll visit the Valley of the Temples with its Greek structures that have endured 24 centuries, the iconic St. George Cathedral and Ibla district of Ragusa, and the adorned tiled Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte in Caltagirone.
You'll travel to Syracuse – birthplace of mathematician Archimedes – for a guided sightseeing tour that includes the 5th-century-BC Greek theater. You'll also enjoy seeing the Church of Santa Lucia – filming location of Michael Corleone's wedding scene in The Godfather – then relaxing with a granita and brioche at a local bar.
Your Sicily tour package concludes on the beautiful Taormina Riviera with an opportunity to visit Mount Etna – Europe's largest active volcano.
