Map of Sicily:

Sicily Island Italy is located on the Mediterranean Sea and from a long time he was at the crossroads of marine, shopping and military paths between Africa, Europe and Asia. It became the main reason for the occurrence of special culture and architecture on the island. It is worth only to ride throughout the territory and in every city, churches, castle or square you can see the influence of various peoples and their traditions.

Excursions in Sicily, depending on your interests, can be started in three ways. By plane with landing in the regional center of Palermo or Catania. On the ferry from Naples to Palermo with the ferris of the Strombol Island on which the same active volcano. Sometimes, at sunset, you can observe an unusual performance - exhausting fire from the crater. And a tour of Sicily on a ferry from Calabria to Messina. In this distant city in 2013, monuments were established by Russian sailors and Admiral Ushakov for their assistance during the terrible earthquake on December 28, 1908, which almost destroyed the city.

Already in Messina, you can observe a strange and at the same time an unusual combination of Arabic and european Culture - The domes of churches are made in the Gothic style, but are posted with a multicolored mosaic in Arabic. The chief cathedral of the city has a sad story - was built in 1150, but during the earthquake in the XIX century, part of the building collapsed. After recovery, in 1943 heavily suffered from bombing of American aircraft. The Cathedral is the second largest organ and astronomical clock in Europe. Watch characters are gods greek mythologythat every day exactly at noon start their movement in a circle.

Tours to Sicily must be held from visiting the regional center - Palermo. The city of Greeks, Roman conquerors, Byzantines, Spaniards, French, Germans and Arabs, the city of thousands of persons and crossed destinations, in which the Arab dome, Barochko Church, Liberty's Palaces and theaters of neoclassicism, are neighboring in harmony and the world. It is interesting to look at the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, the Cathedral in Montreal. But the most unexpected finding may be a visit to Catacomb Palermo, where the cemetery of the Kapucchin brothers (monastic ancient Order). Neither the graves nor the tombstones here will find - the body of 800 monks are mummified and rest in the standing position. But this excursion to Sicily is only for fearless.

Also brave travelers buying tours to Sicily, we recommend visiting the town of Korleon, located near Palermo. This is not only the birthplace of the fictional heroes of Roman Puzo "Great Father", but also a real boss of Sicilian mafia. Although it is a phenomenon, there is nothing to be afraid of Russian tourists - the police and carabineers with honor fulfill their duty.

A trip to Sicily must include visiting the Valley of the temples in the city of Agrigento - Archaeological Park, located at 1300 hectares of land. The settlement of the Greeks from the island of the parents appeared in 582 to the Nativity of Christ and in a short time becomes the most developed city Great Greece. Not all the buildings were preserved to this day, but this is enough to admire the greatness of the architecture of the ancient Greeks - temples, necropolis, a field for sports, caves and tombs. The excursion will last a few hours, so we go to water, put on the cap and close the shoulders - you can get skin burns under the scorching sun.

Rest in Sicily can not do without tasting sweets. The most famous - cannolo (tube) with riccotta cream and cakes made of almond dough.
