All rights reserved. booking@genius -loci.it | www.genius -loci.it *** GENIUS LOCI TRAVEL - The Real Spirit Of Italy *** Drive & Hike, Walk & Discover INTRODUCTION Everybody knows Sicily. And most of us could even name a few famous places such as Taormina, Mt. Etna, and Syracuse. All places which definitely deserve a visit! But this tour will also show you life in Sicily as the real Sicilians live it. You’ll fully explore the south-eastern part of Sicily, home to the eight baroque towns, listed by UNESCO as ‘world heritage sites’. Both Noto and Ragusa are a must! Of course you will visit Syracuse, once the most powerful Greek city in the world, where 3000 years of history are still alive. Visit its amazing Greek ‘Neapolis’ - and perhaps attend a show - and explore this intriguing city carefully. You will of course make a few nice walks, to explore the amazing landscape of the Iblei Mountains. Discover the inland villages, yet to be discovered by mass tourism. Sit in the shade of the orange trees and have a nice country lunch with local specialties. Have a delicious almond or strawberry ‘granita’ for breakfast, swim in the little pools of the wonderful Pantalica Gorge and handpick some fresh oranges. You will be part of the different civilizations that have chosen Sicily as their base: you’ll walk past prehistoric caves, Byzantine churches and baroque buildings.

  • Monitoring Mount Etna Living in the Shadow of Italy's Volcanoes
    Monitoring Mount Etna Living in the shadow of Italy's volcanoes What are the threats posed by Mount Etna? Mount Etna erupts every 3-5 years and poses a considerable threat to the economy of the area (agriculture and tourism) and to nearby settlements, services and communications. About 25% of the population of Sicily live on the volcano’s slopes. The main threats posed by Mount Etna include: • Lava flows – these are frequent and widespread although they do not pose a great danger to life due to their relatively slow movement. However, they can be destructive of property and infrastructure. • Earthquakes – strong earthquakes associated with volcanic activity can cause damage to buildings and roads. • Ash – this can cause problems for aircraft and ashfalls can have an impact on transport and farming. • Debris avalanches – periodically volcano flanks can collapse triggering landslides and debris avalanches. How is Mount Etna monitored? Mount Etna is constantly monitored by scientists who can then issue warnings and implement evacuations if necessary. The volcano has been monitored for over 20 years by the Catania Section of the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). As magma rises within the volcano it generates a number of warning signs that an eruption maybe imminent (Figure 1). Figure 1 Measuring key volcanic eruptive indicators Eruption indicator Explanation Measurement Increased seismic activity As magma rises, rocks Seismographs record within the volcano fracture generating earthquakes earthquakes Ground deformation

  • Meredith College Travel Letter Sicily, Italy
    Dear Friends of Meredith Travel, I just spent a most enjoyable morning. In preparation for writing this letter about our September 25-October 7, 2018, tour of Sicily, I reviewed my photographs from the trip I made there this past summer. I simply can’t wait to go back! Betty describes southern Italy as Italy to the 3rd power—older, grander, and more richly complex. Sicily, we agree, is Italy to the 10th power, at least. It was, by far, the most exotic version of our favorite country that I have yet to encounter, made so by its location and history, which includes a dizzying mix of cultures. It was Greek far longer than it has been Italian. It was Arab. Norman. Swabian. Aragonese. Austrian. Even Bourbon French! All left their mark. And finally, and relatively recently (1860), the Risorgimento fought it into being part of unified Italy. The food, the architecture, and customs can best be understood by experiencing them all firsthand, so without further ado, I would like to summarize our itinerary for you. Join me now as we vicariously tour Sicily together. Day 1: Sept. 25 (Tues) Departure. We depart the U.S. to arrive the next day in Palermo, the capital of the autonomous region of Sicily. Day 2: Sept. 26 (Wed) Palermo. Palermo is a city of 700,000, by far the largest on the island, with an ancient historic city center with structures representing the panorama of its past. After a quick driving tour to orient us to the city, we stop, drop bags at the hotel, and head out to see perhaps the most perfect medieval buildings in the world, the Norman Palace and Palatine Chapel, the latter known for its extraordinary mosaics designed in such a way that the aesthetics of the Arab, Jewish, and Norman artisans are all incorporated.

  • CORE of SICILY 8 Days to Discover a Gem of History and Nature
    CORE OF SICILY 8 days to discover a gem of history and nature D01: ARRIVAL TO CATANIA Catania is Sicily’s second main city for its population and cultural richness. The population survived through the Greeks deportation, the Carthaginians and the stream of lava from Mount Etna. Nowadays Piazza del Duomo, Via Etnea and many of the historical buildings has heightened Catania’s charme. Many structures are built from three-centuries old lava (the black buildings) which, combined with baroque architecture, treats the city a singular darken twisted beauty. Overnight in Catania. D02: ETNA VOLCAN (SOFT TREKKING UP TO CRATER GUIDED ENVIRONMENTAL VISIT) - SIRACUSA Mount Etna is the major and highest vulcano in Europe. Only the cone of the crater rises to 11000 feet above sea level. Plato sailed to Sicily just to catch a glimpse of it in 387 BC. Etna is still an active vulcano and has erupted a dozen times in the past 30 years and more, most spectacularly in 1971, 1982, 2001, 2002 and 2005. Fumes from the top of the vulcano are always a constant companion of Catanese’s days. A trip nearby of the crater depends on Mount Etna’s temperament, but generally it's possible to walk and enjoy this most unique sublime force of nature. Overnight in Siracusa D03: SIRACUSA Syracuse is a jewel of Sicily. Astonishing and wonderful, the great ancient capital of Western civilization at the Greek times was founded in 734 BC. Soon it was the major city of Sicily to compete against Athens in beauty, splendor and power.
