“ What we call Italy used to be the Magna Grecia, the Grand Greece.“
« Itala nam tellus Gracia maior erat. »

Sicily is definitely one of this splendid civilization’s highlight, with beautifully preserved sites all over the island.
Every place has a soul and a story to tell.
We are traveling today around the Three Points Island, to Agrigento’s Temple Valley at the South, then to Taormina two steps away from Catania and the Etna and Selinunte, amazing site destroyed by the Carthaginians thousands of years ago, to Siracusa and finally Segesta, two steps away from Palermo, the Regional Capital.
Enjoy your trip.
