Spectacular Sicily in 2025!

Greetings, ASURA travelers! We are looking for colleagues to join us on a 16-day trip to the largest island in the Mediterranean: Sicily. Due to its strategic location, Sicily has a rich and diverse history, having been inhabited by many different cultures and societies. Sicily is an Italian province, yet with a unique culture, palate and history. Among other experiences, our group will visit ancient architectural parks, outdoor markets, a medieval town and take a 4-wheel trip to Mt. Etna – Europe’s tallest active volcano. Along the way, we will also visit an olive and grape producer, stop at outdoor markets, take a boat ride to explore a neighboring island and frequently dine on incredible Sicilian-inspired fare!

If this sounds exciting and you would like more information, please contact Jeff Bush at Jeff.Bush@asu.edu
