Taste of Sicily
A Delicious Bite of Italy!

Our Taste of Sicily is filled with abundant pleasures on a ten-day celebration of all things Sicilian! From the cosmopolitan delights of Palermo and the rugged and romantic countryside to the world-class beaches of Taormina, we will explore the many treasures of this stunning and dramatic land. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, has attracted visitors and invaders to its shores for centuries. Romans and Carthaginians, Arabs and Greeks are among those who have left their historic footprints here. Archimedes taught here; St. Paul preached here; and centuries later, filmmakers glorified Sicily and its notorious mob families and colorful traditions. Now it is our turn to leave the mainland behind and be a part of history.

Highlights of this trip include:

• Explore Palermo's great restaurants, architectural treasures and seductive streets
  
• Relax on the beautiful beaches of Taormina, a world-class resort
  
• Watch a romantic sunset from the charming town of Cefalu
  
• Visit Corleone, the namesake of the famous Godfather family
  
• Explore Mt. Etna, Sicily's active volcano
  
• Take a cooking class in a classic 18th century home and finish with a delicious Sicilian feast!
