Gay Group Tour of Sicily & Malta - HIGHLIGHTS

Palermo - The feisty Sicilian capital, with its quasi-grittiness on the surface overlaying remarkable historical beauty, its treasures including opulent Arab-Norman mosaics, Baroque palaces, and vibrant street markets

Monreale Cathedral - The finest example of Norman architecture in Sicily along with its dazzling interior of Byzantine-influenced mosaics

Segesta - Standing in proud isolation amid rugged hills, an unforgettable 5th-century-BC Greek temple

Valley of the Temples - A collection of incomparable ancient Greek ruins, with its Temple of Concordia the model for UNESCO's logo and one the best-preserved Greek temples anywhere

Villa del Casale - A 3rd-century-AD Roman aristocrat's villa with sumptuous mosaics decorating each room that had been buried under mud for centuries

Taormina - A chi-chi resort town spectacularly perched on the side of a mountain with stunning views of smoking Mt. Etna

Siracusa - On the sparkling blue sea, perhaps the greatest city of Magna Graecia but also a Baroque delight and a casually chic city center today

Malta - Just a two-hour ferry ride from Sicily and another culture entirely with its legendary history, glittering sea, and 21st-century sophistication
