Take a Trip to Sicily this Easter with Athanasiadis travel and realize that you are on the largest island and most diverse crossroads of the Mediterranean. From the ancient Greeks, the Phoenicians and Carthaginians to the Arabs, the French and the Spanish, Sicily has known many conquerors.

The remains of this place's rich and turbulent history are one of the many reasons to visit. On the other, the island is also inextricably linked with mythology. As the residence of Scylla, of Charybdis and Cyclops, it has been praised by poets such as Homer and Virgil. The geographical diversity of Sicily will surprise you. In Catania the smoky Mount Etna beckons you and in Palermo the sparkling Gulf of Castelamare awaits you. This rare marriage of the sea, volcanoes and mountains, on the one hand it makes up one of the most beautiful places you will ever see, on the other hand, it is the perfect environment for outdoor activities.
