Exploring Sicily on a cultural tour
Every wave of Mediterranean civilisation has washed across this island and mixed with those that came before. At Segesta we see how the local Elymians aped the style of the incoming Greeks - and half-built their own Doric temple. In Palermo, intricate Islamic ceilings abut glittering Christian mosaics, while the sprawling remains of the Villa Romana del Casale remind us just how prosperous life could be amidst Sicily’s agricultural abundance.
Our expert lecturers breathe life, light and colour into every scene. Whether we’re exploring Noto’s Baroque piazzas, sipping Marsala wine or wandering the glittering island of Ortigia - where the sea seems to sparkle at the end of every street - we can expect a giddy mix of landscape, history, archaeology and art.
