Archaeological Tours

Sicily has a very ancient history. Greek authors told that the cyclops were the first inhabitants of the island. Many others came after them, from Sikels to Greeks, Romans and Byzantins. In this area you can choose between a lot of archaeological excursions. Archaeological guides will bring you to sites and places which are outside the mass tourism routes but which are full of fascination. Discover the ruins of the ancient greek colonies, the prehistoric sicilian necropolis or forgotten byzantin frescoes in little stone churches in the Sicilian mountains...
