Exceptional evening at a private palace in Palermo. Sicily’s palaces reveal countless treasures, exceptional experiences too!

Amazing #Sicily with @bonajuto in Modica and @cinabro_carrettieri in Ragusa. Driving services from @trinacriaviaggi and @chauffeursinsicily fantastic itineraries from #grandtourist and commentary from @educatedtraveller #fun #italy #sicily #journeys

Agrigento, Sicily - Temple of Concordia - much loved by the Grand Tourists (who originally thought the temples were Roman). #Agrigento #Concordia #temples #Greece #grandtourist #educatedtraveller #journeys #italy #sicily #quality #learning

Festa di San Giorgio, Ragusa - spettacolo incredibile.

Sunny days in Ragusa - Sicily with a small group!

After the rain - the sun shines again. Duomo of San Giorgio, Ragusa with life size statue of St George slaying the dragon. St George is the patron saint of Ragusa. Brave, powerful, killer of dragons! #Ragusa #StGeorge #grandtourist #educatedtraveller

San Giorgio, Duomo of Ragusa houses a life size statue of St George on his horse slaying the unfortunate dragon. This weekend it’s the Festa of San Giorgio - there’ll be a procession through town and the statue of St George and his horse will be paraded thro’ town. #Ragusa #Sicily
