Wonders of Sicily and Sorrento

Agrigento Temples

Agrigento is an ancient town dating back to the 6th century and is a wonderful showcase for Sicily’s past. Discover the valley of the Temples stretching along a ridge to the south of the city surrounded by olive groves, a sight worthy of comparison to the Acropolis. 

En route Syracuse And Catania

Sicily’s second largest city, Catania sits on the island’s east coast and features amazing views over the Ionian Sea. The dramatic Mount Etna volcano serves as a backdrop to the city, which also enjoys some excellent examples of Sicilian Baroque architecture, including the ornate cathedral and the Basilica della Collegiata.

Catania is also home to many stunning historical attractions, many dating to Greek and Roman times. There’s the Greek-Roman Theatre of Catania, the Greek Acropolis of Montevergine, the remains of the Roman Aqueduct and Forum, and countless Roman baths. 

Syracuse was once the largest in the entire world during ancient times - even surpassing Athens and Corinth. It is known for having been incredibly important during these times, which can be shown by its elegant architecture, varied culture and rich history. A truly beautiful location, Syracuse is an incredible place to visit, with its mixture of chic pavement cafes, mesmerising architecture, historical attractions and excellent shops.

Mount Etna

Famous for being Europe’s tallest active volcano, Mount Etna is a magnificent sight. We’ll visit Mount Etna during our time on Sicily, and so will be able to experience the sheer scale of this awesome volcano.
For the adventurous there is the chance to reach the summit at an additional cost. 

Pompeii Guided Tour

Pompeii is famous the world over for being the ancient city that was literally stopped in its tracks by the exploding volcano Mount Vesuvius. The volcano’s lava caused mass destruction and devastation to the city, and to the nearby Herculaneum and many other ancient towns, but this also meant that life here was very well preserved. 

Today, Pompeii is a marvellous example of Roman life, with the streets, houses and public buildings showcasing how Romans living here would have carried out day-to-day activities. We’ll take a trip to Pompeii to examine all of this, entering the famous archaeological site to discover the remains of art, pottery, furniture and various tools that have been discovered since the catastrophe of 79AD. 

While much of the city is still submerged, we’ll be able to marvel at its incredible discoveries.
