Cities we visited

Palm trees, ancient walls and castles, sea views and spleen panini! Our trip around the island of Sicily begins here!

Doric temples honoring Zeus, Athena, Hercules and other are atop this beautiful city!

Windmills used for production of sea salt in Trapani. Salt was piled up like snow and protected by tiles. Fascinating Archimedes screws transport the water powered in the past by these windmills, now by engines

The Temple of Zeus over 2500 years old overlooks the valley of Agrigento along with temples to Hera and Hercules.

Roman mosaics saved by a landslide covering them for centuries! Details of Roman life of bathing, exercising, and the Great Hunt!

The sunset behind steam arising from Mount Etna put an stunning show on for us as we sipped wine on the rooftop terrace of our hotel in Taormina

Catania's St Agatha's Church with an elephant statue in front. It's in the process of a massive restoration.

Susie and Brian share a glass of wine in stylish Taormina with stunning views from our hotel of Mount Etna and the Mediterranean Sea

The magnificent Cathedral in Syracuse that has within it an entire Greek temple!
