Top Sicily Private Sightseeing Tours - page 37

The mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale and Greek Theater of Taormina are two of Sicily’s most dazzling ancient sites, but reaching them by public transportation can be frustrating and tedious. Skip the hassle of coordinating trains, buses, and taxis with this private driving tour and visit both these treasures plus the charming medieval village of Castelmola in a single day.

Begin at the Temple of Juno, where a sacrificial altar, chariot-worn stone and fire-scarred walls recall the Carthaginian siege of 406 BCE, and from the hilltop take in sweeping views across the myth-steeped Valley of the Temples before pausing at a nearby café. Follow the City Walls Promenade—lined with wildflowers, artifacts and transport models—for panoramic perspectives on the valley’s infrastructure, then admire the nearly intact 5th-century Temple of Concordia with its embedded 6th-century church. Descend into the Paleochristian Necropolis, where you will come across some 130 tombs—open-air graves, arcosols, sarcophagi and early catacombs—then stroll the tranquil gardens of Aurea Villa, visit the nine pillars of the Temple of Hercules, and conclude at the monumental remains of the Temple of Olympian Zeus, a final testament to Akragas’s ancient wealth and ambition.

To finish with the discovery of Caltagirone, whose baroque influences do not end with the many decorations that enrich churches and buildings in the historic center, but also in the decorations of the much-known and sought-after local ceramics, of which you will learn about the techniques and secrets of processing at a local laboratory.
