Sicily Luxury Tours & Trips
Fancy exploring Sicily where Mount Etna's still actively volcanic? You'll see steam vents, smell sulfur, maybe take cable cars up the slopes. Valley of the Temples has remarkably preserved Greek ruins, Taormina's ancient theatre overlooks the coast with Etna behind, and Savoca is where The Godfather was filmed. Sicilian cooking classes teach you pasta from scratch in countryside villas, Palermo's anti-Mafia tours explain the struggles, try Marsala dessert wines that taste sweet and complex, and see why this area is so popular.
