Come to Sicily in 2009! Sicily is alive. In Sicily life is part of a centuries-old rhythm that traces its roots to the Sicanians and other ancient peoples of this timeless island, across the Age of Antiquity, through the Middle Ages and Renaissance and, finally, to our times. The Sicily Life Travel Network makes it easy to discover Sicily at your own pace through a specially-selected choice of tours, shore excursions and other travel services covering Palermo, Taormina, Agrigento, Segesta, Cefalù, Erice, Messina, Siracusa and Mount Etna. But first, before you visit our delightful island in the sun, read about some of its highlights:
