Sicily EscapE

 

Discover the beauty of Sicily the way you never thought was possible.

 

Venice. The name of the city itself invokes images of romantic gondola rides and spectacular pink sunsets over the water. That is one side of The Queen of the Adriatic. The other, however, you may have heard from your best friend who traveled to Venice in the Summer and “absolutely hated it, too touristy and expensive”. It’s the truth. Venezia can be everything you’ve dreamed and at the same time, be a tourist’s worst nightmare. It’s blessed because of its fame, but the experience can also be dampened by the same fame. Venice, The Floating City. Venice, city of masks, mysteries and ghosts. Venice, marble palaces on a lagoon, one hundred and eighteen islands joined together by picturesque bridges. Are you still asking yourself why Venezia is one of the most overcrowded tourist destinations in the world?
