Positano is the Amalfi Coast's exotic hilltop village known as the place where vacationers flock to indulge life's greatest pleasures. Put yourself in the mood by exploring its exotic gardens, which are some of Italy's most scenic. As you walk to the cliff's edge let the ocean's cooling breeze come over you as you admire the classic panorama that has made Positano famous. When it is time to move on, descend through the village with its incomparably quaint, if extremely steep, streets and its trademark white-washed houses. Right at this moment you will hear the seductive call of one of Positano's exquisite restaurants begging you to come enjoy a delightful meal of wine, pasta, and seafood!

Of all of Italy's transcendent, magically beautiful cities, none has inspired creative genius like Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast. The city is dominated by a mystical, otherworldly energy apparent to anyone who walks Ravello's charming streets or explores its breathtaking gardens. When confronted with such splendor as Ravello's, it is almost impossible not to feel your own creativity and imagination stirring inside of you. The truth is that whether you're enjoying an opera performance overlooking the sea or feasting a sumptuous meal, Ravello will touch the core of your being, an experience that will stay with you for years to come!

The delights of Taormina, Sicily's picturesque seaside town, are nothing short of divine. Perched atop steep volcanic cliffs, Taormina offers its visitors the best of Sicilian cuisine and culture paired with one of the island's most scenically beautiful locations. Walking its medieval streets you see the pristine sea beckoning from below; and if you fancy a brief walk down to the seashore, Taormina will present you with a beach of the most paradisiacal variety imaginable. It is impossible not to be utterly satisfied by Taormina's abundant charms, a fact that will make having a very special vacation here the easiest thing you have accomplished in a very long time!

And finally Sicily's greatest city!

Those familiar with Italy will sense that a noticeably different air permeates Palermo, one suggestive of being in an entirely different country. Ask a native whether he/she is Italian or Sicilian and hear the sweet sound of "Io sono siciliano/a!" tickle your ears! As you walk the Palermo streets, the city's distinctiveness will reveal itself to you, whether you are passing Arab or Norman architecture, traversing its famed food/spice market, or just observing the rituals and mannerisms of each native. But if you want to immerse yourself in the delicious culinary culture of Palermo, try each of this city's famous if unusual dishes and your palate will be more than pleased that you decided to visit this historic city!
