Why go
Greek temples, an active volcano and Italy's most distinct food culture.
Sicily is large enough to need a route rather than a base, and the east and west feel like different regions. Etna, Agrigento and the baroque southeast are the structural anchors.
Signature experiences
- Mount Etna ascent
- Valley of the Temples at Agrigento
- Palermo street food markets
