Sicily
Sicily, the first province of the Roman Empire and legendary home of the Cyclops, is a large island off the tip of southern Italy. It is a world apart from the rest of its country. There are many interesting places to visit such as Mt. Etna, one of the world's major active volcanoes and Segesta, the site of an impressive Greek temple. Another picturesque stop is Taormina, a medieval mountaintop town overlooking the sea and Mt. Etna.
