Escorted Tour: Eastern Sicily - 5D/4N

Sicily For lovers of antiquity, Eastern Sicily provides the richest pickings: vestiges of Greek theaters, burial grounds and 6th century BC Temples are mixed with Roman sruins like the Ancient Roman Villa Casale at Piazza Armenina, with its UNESCO classified mosaic floors, where Roman maidens in bikinis scamper and elaborate Baroque stonework, curly balconies and graceful staircases. Everywhere the Etna black lava paves the ways, worn to a soft shine by centuries of footfalls, providing the pedestal for splendid honey-coloured palazzos and churches.
