GREEK TOUR

Situated off the 'boot’ of Italy, Sicily is the link between mainland Europe and Africa. The island bears the traces of many different civilizations: Phoenician, Greek, Roman, Arabian, Norman, and Bourbon among others, each of which desired Sicily’s advantageous strategic location either for warfare or trade, or both. This age-old mixing of cultures, some of which existed simultaneously, has granted Sicily a tolerant and independent outlook, as well as no fewer than seven UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Most of the notable historic sites are located along Sicily’s splendid coastline, so tours generally follow a circuit.
Itineraries tend to begin and finish in Catania, on the east
 
coast, which was built on the remains of ancient Greek and Roman settlements that have been buried over the centuries by multiple eruptions from nearby volcano Etna. The island is dotted with hundreds of castles, watch towers, temples, amphitheatres and villas, so that you might cover the highlights in a week, or take a longer trip for a deeper insight and visit lesser-known gems.

This tour provides an unforgettable encounter with the island’s long history and culture. Take part in the wonderfully preserved remains of the Greek.
