Sicily and Aeolian Islands

SICILY - is a fascinating melting-pot of various civilisations which have dominated and cultivated it over many centuries. As the largest island in the Mediterranean, this enchanting place is steeped in culture, contrasting maritime and mountainous landscapes . The island's splendour and diversity is unashamedly stunning. The wonders of its ancient Greek temples and theatres, the tranquility of its seaside resorts and the charm of its towns and cities, the scenic beauty of its more mountainous terrain and luxuriant hillsides all pay ultimate homage to the dominance of snow-capped Mount Etna, Europe's highest, active volcano.
