Palermo provides many opportunities for exciting and interesting sightseeing. Palermo's Teatro Massimo, is a must visit if you enjoy opera.

With the mix of cultures and its location there is no question the people living on Sicily are Sicilian first and then Italian.  They've seen their share of "globalists" coming to "help."  A sicily vacation is a lovely journey into history, culture, and culinary traditions.  For more information about traveling to Italy visit ItalianTourism.us http://italiantourism.us/sicily-tours/

Islamic Isle? Sicily Tours are Vacations into Mediterranean History

Islamic Isle? Sicily Tours are Vacations into Mediterranean History | Sicily Vacations | Scoop.it
From www.weeklystandard.com - July 26, 2013 7:12 PM
A band of Muslim raiders sacked Rome in 846 a.d., plundering the city’s churches and getting clean away with their loot. They had come from Palermo, in Sicily, which had been in Muslim hands for 15 years.
Motorino Man's insight:

Sicily vacations are a journey into history. With its famous early Greek Temples, to the Norman Church in Monreale, one may forget that between the Greeks and Byzantines and the Normans the island was invaded by Muslims who took Palermo and even Syracuse.

The Art of Interior Sicilia's Farms  . . .  Catania to Palermo by Bus | Sicily Vacations | Scoop.it
From italiantourism.us - June 19, 2020 9:15 PM
I started the two and a half hour bus ride from Catania to Palermo with the intent of reading.  But once we were out of the Palermo, I put the book down and did not read another word because the beauty of Sicily’s countryside captured my attention until we spilled out into a sweeping panorama […]
Motorino Man's insight:
Sicily is the Mediterranean's largest island. It is one of twenty distinct Italian regions. Visiting Sicily and Italy is to explore the history of the entire Mediterranean Basin. Sicily's land has been farmed for centuries. The farms on the interior of the island make an interesting patchwork quilt. When touring Sicily the sea views and rocky coast grab most of the attention. But traveling inland provides quite a unique view not common any where else in the world. To plan your Sicily tour visit https://italiantourism.us/sicily-tours/
