With a quest for Etna's fiery embrace, we circumnavigate Sicily's wild heart. In Syracuse, once mightier than Rome or Athens, wander among Apollo Temple ruins, the Greek Theater's grandeur, and Duomo's glow before venturing to Noto, a UNESCO Baroque jewel, with bold, voluptuous architecture. Arrive Giardini Naxos to chase Taormina's graceful Greco-Roman legacy and views of Mount Etna before calling on Lipari, the largest of the Aeolian Islands. Sea and sophistication collide amid the warmest welcomes in Palermo, unveiling Arab-Norman wonders at the UNESCO Cathedral and Capuchin Catacombs' secrets. By dusk, visit a storied aristocratic palace, immortalized by a drama-fueled television series, as our stage for a sumptuous evening of dining and savoring centuries of history.
