Rome, commonly known as the Eternal City, is a mesmerizing fusion of ancient history and contemporary energy. As Italy's capital, it is renowned for its rich cultural legacy, featuring iconic sites such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, and the Pantheon, which stand as enduring symbols of its illustrious past. Enclosed within Rome lies Vatican City, the heart of the Catholic Church, home to awe-inspiring treasures like Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel ceiling. Beyond its historical splendor, Rome thrives as a lively modern city, with its charming cobblestone streets, vibrant piazzas, and a culinary tradition celebrated for delights like carbonara and gelato. This unique blend of antiquity and modernity makes Rome a timeless destination that continues to captivate visitors from around the world.
The island of Sicily, located off the south coast of Italy is the largest of the numerous Italian islands and is surrounded by the Ionian, Tyrrhenian and Mediterranean Seas. Parts of Sicily are on the same latitude as the coast of North African which results in a mild climate that makes the island an attractive year round destination, not just with domestic visitors from mainland Italy but abroad too. As with many of the Italian islands, the tourist season peaks in the summer months. On Sicily's eastern coast you’ll find Mount Etna, the greatest active volcano in Europe and undoubtedly one of the regions attractions. Perhaps in part due to its geographical location, but in the main because of its obvious attraction as a destination, Sicily features a host of regular ferry connections with neighboring islands and the Italian mainland as well as international connections with the likes of Malta and Tunisia.
