Alumni College in Sicily during the Cultural Season
February 26-March 7, 2005
Tour operator: Alumni Holidays
 Spend
seven nights in your sea-view room in Palermo at the first-class
Mondello Palace. Palermo is the perfect base from which
to explore the island of Sicily - explore Palermo's unique
charms from its bustling waterfront to its colorful street
markets and see the Old Town's wild mix of Baroque, Norman
and Arabic architecture.
Highlights include: a visit to Monreale to view the brilliant mosaics of Santa Maria la Nuovo Cathedral; an exploration of the ancient wonders of Agrigento and its Valley of Temples; a journey to Bagheria, the summer retreat of nobility in the 17th and 18th century, to admire the unusual Villa Palagonia (known as "Villa of the Monsters") with its eccentric menagerie of statuary; a visit to the fishing-port village of Cefalù; a voyage to town of Corleone, made famous by Mari Puzo's "Godfather" films, and the famous Prince of Corleone winery; exploration of the walled, medieval mountaintop town of Erice and the Doric temple at Segesta; and your choice of Hands On Discovery sessions on ceramics, cooking, or antique restoration.
This reasonably-priced tour includes all meals, excursions and educational programs. Both land-only and air-inclusive prices will be available.
