About Sicily
Sicily's past rarely stays on the page — it steps onto a stage, into a puppeteer's hands, or out along the streets where a fictional detective once walked. History-minded travellers can watch an opera in Taormina's Nazarena Theater, follow the real filming locations on the Inspector Montalbano Locations Tour of Southeast Sicily: A Journey into the Fiction, or spend an evening among Greek ruins on the Syracuse: Greek Theater and Neapolis Sunset Tour with Guided Exploration.

Frequently asked questions
These experiences are led by people who treat Sicily's layers seriously: the island's Greek, Arab, Norman and Spanish past, its oral storytelling and its puppet tradition. You might hear the Opera dei Pupi recount Norman battles in Palermo, walk the southeast streets behind a fictional detective, or stand in a Greek theatre at sunset with a guide.
