Day 2: Catania/Syracuse
Travel to Syracuse, an enchanting city by the Ionian Sea that was once at the centre of the ancient Greek and Roman worlds.

Later, explore the old town's baroque piazzas and medieval side streets with a CEO-led orientation walk.

Day 4: Syracuse/Agrigento
Travel to the baroque city of Ragusa before heading to the medieval hilltop town of Piazza Armerina. Visit the world's most varied collection of Roman mosaics at Villa Romana del Casale.

Continue to Agrigento.
