Departure Dates: 9/18/2010

Centuries of diverse histories are preserved on—and within—the island of Sicily. The cities of this rocky volcanic island hug the coastline and are extraordinarily beautiful. Palermo, the capital, bears traces of Moorish and baroque Spain, the Arab-Norman fusion, and the Roman and Byzantine empires. See Palermo, the delightful village of Taormina, and a villa with magnificent Roman mosaics. Along with the tumultuous history, you’ll enjoy a Norman folk tale told with traditional Sicilian puppets, sample many regional specialties, and take in the beauty of this sparse land with its panoramic views of the seas that surround it.
