Sicily is a country of diversity. The island, with a population of 5 million, only became part of the Italian state in 1860. You should pay close attention to its ever-changing landscape, a feature of this short trip, and then see the characteristic hill-top towns rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693.
You will go on to visit Mt. Etna, the largest and most active volcano in Europe. The climb to the crater takes us through picturesque villages. The lower slopes of the volcano are extremely fertile with groves of oranges, lemons and the Mediterranean flora and of course vines which produce Sicily's best wines. We go through forests of chestnut trees which gradually give way to oak, beech, birch and pine.
The tour will be proceeding to Taormina from Mt. Etna in the summer and to Modica in the winter.
