Classic Tour of Sicily

ABSTRACT

Through this tour we can discover and rediscover the historical and artistic beauties of the places to visit, included in our tour.
We will be able to admire the treasures created by the ancient peoples who came to Sicily. Let's imagine the Greeks who arrived in Taormina and Syracuse in the 5th century B.C. The Greek Theater of Taormina and also that of Syracuse testify to this. Let's not forget the wonderful mosaics made by the Romans, 3rd century B.C. up to the 1st century A. C. This artistic heritage can be admired in Piazza Armerina, a UNESCO city, also included in our tour. And again the great Arab workers, those who hand-made the wonderful Byzantine mosaics of Christ Pantocrator, which you will visit on our tour in Cefalu', Palermo and Monreale. Furthermore, we will visit the majestic Royal Palace of Palermo, considered the ancient residence of the Norman dynasty, who arrived in Sicily in the 12th century A.C., thanks to the arrival of King Roger II.
