did you know you can go to the dock where Sparta sank Athens ships in the Peloponnesian War? It's amazing.

Palermo is a world class city. My buddy doesn't want to go there (even tho I argued in favor of it). She really is just starry eyed about Taormina.

We'll have to fly into and out of Catania (not a great place, IMO) but that's OK. Taormina makes up for that.

The history of Sicily is mind boggling. Every Western empire has conquered that island.
