The Best of Sicily: Ancient Temples, Mount Etna, and Mediterranean Luxury
The Greeks arrived in Sicily in the 8th century BC and built temples that are still standing. Agrigento's Valle dei Templi has seven of them, all Doric and all from the 5th century BC.The Temple of Concordia is among the most intact Greek temples anywhere on Earth, including Greece itself. You can walk the ridge at your own pace, with the valley dropping away below and nothing between you and 2,500 years of uninterrupted history. Doing it at dusk is the kind of thing the best luxury hotels in Sicily arrange for travelers like you.
A couple of hours north, Mount Etna is still very much alive and well. You can take a private guided ascent to the summit craters at 10,922 feet, where the terrain goes from a lush pine forest to a black lava field to something that looks closer to Mars than anywhere in Europe.
The same volcanic soil that makes the summit so otherworldly is what makes the slopes below some of the most interesting wine country on the continent. Etna's wines have drawn international attention over the last decade, and a private cellar visit on the eastern slope is the perfect way to end a day that began above the clouds.
