AEOLIAN ISLANDS
The greeks baptized the island by the name Lipari: Lipara, the glamourous.

As the name hints already, Volcano is famous for its active volcano, volcano sources and mud-baths. Not only the healing powers of the volcano mud, but also its special effects on the skin are good reasons to add to the program a visit to that island.
ETNA
The biggest active volcano in Europe is Mount Etna, which last erupted in the year 2006.
The surroundings of Mount Etna were declared natural reserve and well organized excursions and roundtrips with off-road buses take you up to a height of 3000 metres, and grant an unforgettable experience.
AGRIGENT
n the south of Sicily, near the coast and on a height of 230 metres above sea level, lays the city of Agrigent. For those especially interested in ancient history, a visit to this place is a must! The so-called “valley of temples” is one of the most important sights of Sicily, due to its remarkably preserved temple from ancient greek era. In 1997, the UNESCO inscribed the archaeological areas of Agrigento on the World Heritage List.
TAORMINA
From the 19th century on Taormina became one of the most important touristic centers of Sicily. Alone the magnificent view on Mount Atna and over the gulf of Giardini Narxoas are worth the visit. But this isn’t all of course: Taormina boasts numerous sites of interest.
One shouldn’t miss a visit to the ancient theatre and to the various churches and palaces, that take you on a trip back in time.
PALERMO
The capital of Sicily is situated on the island’s north coast: Palermo. At the foot of Mount Pellegrino, in a natural reserve of 1200 acres, with over 130 caves and a picturesque bay known as the “conca d’oro” - the golden shell.
