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.
