Sicily is known for many things, of which, being the land of myths and legends is among the most interesting. Between spectacular landscapes, diverse and ancient architecture and archaeological ruins, the island is definitely one of the Mediterranean’s most fascinating destinations.

Sicily is a crossroads of rich cultures—an ancient island that’s steeped in all kinds of myths and legends. It is intriguing in its complexities and stark contrasts, being part of, but in many ways worlds apart from mainland Italy. This distinct character has been forged through centuries upon centuries of invaders who have brought many diverse influences that shape the island’s still evolving culture.

Perhaps one of the most distinctive characteristics of luxury tours of Sicily is being a living museum of history and heritage. From The ancient Greeks, the Phoenicians, and the Arabs to the French and the Spanish, centuries of rulers and invaders have added their own unique layer into the island’s heritage, creating an exciting mix of traditions, behind which are extraordinary stories that made Sicily what it is today.

Sicily is the largest of all the Mediterranean islands. On it are beautiful towns sprinkled with remarkable ruins and an impressive collection of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From Roman villas and their lavish mosaics and Greek ruins to spectacular temples, you will never run out of culture steeped locations to visit, whether you are into ancient history or Greek mythology.

A guided tour of this vast island is the best way to discover its incredible cultural highlights and deep history. This is your opportunity to gain great insight into the multifaceted culture of the island and visit some of its hidden treasures. Starting from the island’s equally chaotic and charismatic capital, you’ll find many beautiful treasures to unpack. Simply walking its medieval streets and exploring the colorful markets will bring you unforgettable experiences and introduce you to the island’s untouched cultural wonders.

Natural wonders also abound on the island, with an added bonus of hulking volcanoes, stunning beaches, ancient caves and forests, mountain meadows, and the imposing Mount Etna, which towers over everything in Sicily. This active volcano is one of the most notable features of the island, dominating its east coast. Further off shore, you’ll find many other interesting wonders to explore, from the Aeolian Islands to other fascinating Mediterranean destinations to complete your journey. All these and more make Sicily a must-see attraction at the southern edge of Italy.
