Sicily (Two Coasts)
September 2024
Writer Gabriel García Márquez said, “Going to Sicily is better than going to the moon.” No disrespect to NASA, but we agree. The ombre light, the craggy mountains, the lush green landscapes, the velvet blue water. And let’s not forget the daily-caught seafood, dark, brambly red and crisp, salty white wines, other-worldly pastries, millennia of ruins, and the remnants of tattered nobility. On our luxury small group trips to Sicily, they’re all on offer. Plus gelato in brioche for breakfast. Now that’s something to moon over.
