Sicily

Información

Board a catamaran and cruise to the beautiful Italian island of Sicily. You'll explore the slopes of Mt Etna, the largest and most active volcano in Europe. The climb to the crater takes you through picturesque villages and an ever changing landscape. The lower slopes of the volcano are extremely fertile with groves of oranges, lemons and other Mediterranean flora. You'll also visit the city of Modica. It was heavily damaged by an earthquake in 1693. When it was rebuilt, much of it was done in a traditional Sicilian baroque design. Perhaps the best example of this can be seen in the city's San Giorgio church. Three-hundred steps lead up to its 3-level facade, which looks out across the city below.
