The ideal time to visit Tuscany is all year.
The beautiful Taormina, is one of the most famous tourist resorts in Sicily. Known above all for the Ancient Greek Theater, it is located in a slight hilly position. An isthmus of sand connects it to the small but fascinating Isola Bella Nature Reserve. Not far from the town there are also Giardini Naxos, the famous Etna Volcano and the city of Catania.
Catania: at the slope of the Etna Volcano, the highest active volcano in Europe and overlooking the east coast of Sicily, Catania is the undisputed capital of Sicilian Baroque.
Siracusa is one of the most beautiful Sicilian cities. Its most historic and ancient part is the Island of Ortigia which will undoubtedly amaze you with the beauty of the buildings and the panoramic waterfront. In Syracuse and Ortigia you can only appreciate the comfort, hospitality, fun and of course the food, without forgetting the surroundings. Here everything is full of extreme beauty.
Piazza Armerina is located exactly in the center of Sicily. The origins of the city are very ancient: the area was already inhabited by the Greeks, then the Romans arrived, who left us the splendid Villa Romana del Casale, one of the most famous and admired Roman buildings in the world with its mosaics, including such as the beautiful mosaic of “girls in bikini”, the first bikini swimsuits in history.
Agrigento is a small pearl of southern Sicily, cradle of Magna Graecia for its vast historical and archaeological heritage. It is the ideal destination for lovers of history and culture, a journey into the past among the ancient churches of the historic center and the Doric temples of the Valley of the Temples where there is no shortage of crystal clear sea and excellent local cuisine.
Savoca, Forza d’Agrò and Villa Castello degli Schiavi: the famous locations of The Godfather film!
In Savoca village is located the Bar Vitelli, basically the highlight of the tour: it is the set of the scene in which Micheal asks Apollonia’s father for her hand. The second location is the picturesque Forza d’Agrò with the Sant’Agostino church on the charming hilltop of the village, featured in the second film, in the scene where Vito escapes to the US hotly pursued by Don Ciccio’s men. Villa Castello degli Schiavi became famous all over the world. Francis Ford Coppola chose him for some of the main scenes of “The Godfather”, such as the unforgettable explosion of the car after the wedding.
Messina is the gateway to Sicily. It is possible to admire the imposing beauty of the Cathedral of Messina, with its high bell tower which houses the Astronomical Clock and visit the many that are located in every corner of the city. Located on the Strait a stone’s throw from Calabria, where the Ionian Sea meets the Tyrrhenian Sea, this city will give you the right “welcome” and then move on to discover the many Sicilian jewels.

Sicily’s ancient markets have a special atmosphere: they’re places of animated, almost theatrical arguments and agreements. Created by the Arabs, the typical souk markets are located in various island cities. They fully preserve Sicily’s Arab roots in the way that the dried and fresh fruit, especially oranges, are arranged, and also in the great variety of exotic spices from the near or far East, and in the incredible variety of olives. The air around them smells of garlic, oregano and chilli. The fish stalls of the Pescheria, the famous fish market.
