About Sicily

Sicily rewards travellers who arrive by sea: Greek theatres above the waterline, Norman mosaics, and harbours that have traded since antiquity. A cruise or boat-based day tour lets you link these layers in a single day, whether you sail to the Egadi Islands on the Egadi Islands Boat Tour: Discover Favignana & Levanzo from Trapani or follow Messina's shoreline to Taormina and the Godfather villages on the Taormina and Isola Bella Day Tour with Boat Trip from Messina.

Frequently asked questions

Sicily's story is layered by whoever held the island: Greeks at Taormina and Syracuse, Romans, Arabs, Normans at Monreale and Cefalù, then the Baroque rebuild. A boat or cruise-based day lets you read those layers from the water, connecting harbours, coastal towns and island communities that are slow or awkward to reach by road alone.
