Includes your choice of an included Globus Choice excursion in Sorrento!

In Greek mythology, the Scylla and Charybdis were two sea monsters located in the Strait of Messina between Sicily and the Italian mainland, endangering ancient mariners and inspiring the expression “being caught between a rock and a hard place.” Will you find yourself in such a predicament on this Undiscovered Tour of Southern Italy and Sicily? On the contrary, you’ll delightfully find yourself caught between Byzantine and Roman cultures, flanked by Norman and Italian influences, and in the midst of a cross-cultural wonderland. Your comparison of cobblestones, customs, and cuisine gets underway in Rome, heads down to the dramatic Sorrento Coast, and then kicks the fun from Italy’s heel to its toe and all the way into the great melting pot of Sicily. From Italy’s lower half to its largest island – ruins, resorts, and a rich history await.

St Peter's Square and Basilica

St. Peter's Square is a bustling piazza where the masses receive the Pope's weekly blessings. This ornate square frames the entrance to St. Peter's Basilica, where St. Peter was martyred and buried.

Pompeii (Mount Vesuvius)

Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD and completely buried the city of Pompeii. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with fascinating ruins that hint of a once-thriving city.

Palermo

The capital of the Italian island of Sicily is Palermo. While the enormous neoclassical Teatro Massimo is well-known for opera performances, the Palermo Cathedral, built in the 12th century, is home to royal tombs. The Cappella Palatina, which has Byzantine mosaics, and the Palazzo dei Normanni, a royal house that dates to the ninth century, are also in the centre. Popular marketplaces include the Vucciria, which is close to the port, and the central Ballar street market.
