Greeks, Arabs, Romans and Bourbons fought over Sicily for centuries and all left their mark on the food, the people and the architecture that we see today.
We visit the ruins of Greek temples in the storied Segesta and Selinunte and our hotel in Agrigento has stunning views of the temple of Concordia. Walks take us to the mountain-top town of Erice and along the coastal paths of the Zingaro Nature Reserve, so remote that pack horses are used to carry the supplies for maintaining the paths. We take a privately chartered boat to explore Isola Grande and lunch on Mozia, once a Phoenician colony.
In Marsala we visit the famed Florio winery and have the chance to sample the local specialty - seafood couscous.
