Rome and Sicily

Journey from Rome's eternal splendor to Sicily's sun-drenched shores. Begin amid papal treasures and imperial ruins, then venture south to the dramatic Amalfi Coast and the buried streets of Pompeii. Cross azure waters to Sicily, where Greek temples rise above lemon groves and Mount Etna's silhouette dominates the horizon. Here, at the crossroads of Mediterranean civilization, discover Italy's most dramatic landscapes and ancient mysteries.
