  • Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | This tour of Sicilian highlights starts in Palermo, where we'll sing with the merchants in the markets, join locals in their passeggiata, drop in on a contessa, and marvel at the Romanesque cathedral of Monreale. Then we'll sip wine on the slopes of Mount Etna, munch cannoli, ponder Greek temples at Agrigento, admire Roman mosaics at the Villa of Casale, and marvel at the view from the Greek theater in Taormina.

    A lot of people are turned off of Europe understandably because so many are snobby about it, but Rick shows it off in such an authentic and passionate way. He's just true to himself and loves the culture.

    In May 2003 I took the ferry from Genoa to Palermo. What a fascinating city. I visited Monreale and then walked back down to Palermo with wonderful views. I had delicious food, one memorable dish was Sicilian cuscusu. I attended a superb performance of Verdi's Macbeth at the beautiful Teatro Massimo. I joined in a passeggiata around Palermo's main piazza. The only thing missing for me was a Jewish community which can be found elsewhere in Italy. I did notice two Protestant churches in Palermo, one of which was Anglican, the other may have been Methodist. I took the train to Agrigento and I recall there was an old man of whom other passengers told me spoke only Sicilian - I had taken Italian classes for a couple of years, so my Italian while not fluent was enough flor me to get by.
    Agrigento has these wonderful Greek temples just as Rick Steves describes. From there I took the train to Messina where along the way I saw Mt. Etna smoking away! At Messina I took the ferry to Reggio Calabria, well not quite, and waited there for the train to Naples. I want to keep on traveling to Naples again and onto Rome. Let's hope we all do that once more and soon.

    The Norman king of Sicily was Roger II. His distant cousin William has conquered a much poorer island, called England.

    My father’s side of the family came from Ficarrazzi, Sicily and my mother’s family from Rome. Unfortunately though, they emigrated to the United States, became naturalized, and I was born a US citizen. I have always been more proud of my Italian and Sicilian heritage, more so than I ever was being a US citizen. I have been to mainland Italy numerous times, but haven’t made it to Sicily yet. I’m hoping next year. Good thing is that I live in Europe now and can make it there in a couple short hours by airplane.
