Our tour of Sicily begins with a one-night stay in Rome (and a visit to the Colosseum, if we arrive early enough). The next morning we fly to Palermo, Sicily for a one-night stay. We explore the rich cultural heritages of Carthage, Rome, and the Normans, traveling to Marsala (ancient Lilybaeum, Carthaginian/Roman) on the western edge of Sicily for a two-night stay, stopping on the way at the majestic Monreale Cathedral (Norman), Segesta Archaeological Park, Trapani, and Erice (ancient Eryx, Elymian, Carthaginian, Greek, and Roman). The following morning we travel to the Carthaginian island stronghold of Mosia (ancient Motya) and return to visit the Regional Museum of Lilybaeum and Marsala Archaeological Park after lunch.  From Marsala we journey to the Greek colony of Selinunte (ancient Selinous) to explore the Archaeological Park and Antiquarium before spending the night in the stunning coastal town of Sciacca, renowned for its thermal baths. The following day we travel to Greek colony of Agrigento (ancient Acragas) to view the celebrated Valley of the Temples. After we leave Agrigento, we visit the extraordinary fourth-century CE Villa Romana del Casale before arriving in Syracuse (Greek colony) for a two-night stay. After taking in the splendors of the Neapolis Archaeological Park, we spend the afternoon on the island of Ortygia (Temple of Apollo, Duomo). The following morning we return to Rome and from there to Dulles International Airport, where a coach will take us back to UMBC.
