This fully

In Agrigento explore the
Greek and Roman ruins in the Valley of the Temples. Travel to the
"City of Mosaics" Piazza Armerina and the Villa of Armerina with 12,000
sq. feet of mosaics.
Visit Savoca, a beautiful
Sicilian village where portions of "The Godfather" were filmed, and Taormina with it
breathtaking views of Mt. Etna and its ancient ruins including the Roman
Theatre. Speaking of Mt. Etna, there an excursion to Sicily's
tallest peak and Europe's tallest active volcano... yes ACTIVE!
Travel to Messina and discover its cache
of Caravaggio canvases and Reggio Calabria and its famous Bonzes of
Riace.
From Taormina travel south
to Siracusa and visit the old town Ortigia and the Archaeological Park
of the Neapolis where a Roman amphitheater, a Greek theatre and the Ear
of Dionysius are
located.
Also visit Noto and
Ragusa, whom together with six other cities in the Val di Noto, are

Whether this is your first trip to Sicily
or you've been before, there's nothing like a tour hosted by Father John. We also have the BEST tour directors and guides.
So please join
Father John and together, we will laugh and
pray, share the joy and heritage of our faith, meet new friends, walk in
the paths of the saints and
sample the food and wines of Sicily
that have been influenced by the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans and many
others.
Amuninni!
(That's let's go in
Sicilian dialect.)
