SICILY

It's more than an island! Discover Sicily and discover the world. The world's first multicultural society, Sicily is Italy's (and Europe's) most historically cosmopolitan region, having been ruled by Asians, Africans and Europeans. There's no other place on Earth like Sicily. Our island is a unique place full of art, archeology, history, folklore and breathtaking scenery. And, of course, great food. Sicily is almost a nation unto itself. The enchanting land where Archimedes taught and Saint Paul preached was a Greek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom. The Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Swabians, Angevins and Aragonese made Sicily their own, leaving behind an eclectic history that you can still touch today. And Sicily will touch you. Sicily is Europe, Africa and Asia on one island. We have been organizing our language courses for 20 years in two places here in Sicily.

Our school organizes a free excursion to the ancient remains of Solunto which was one of the main Punic towns in western Sicily, along with Motia and Palermo. According to the students' interests, the school offers cheap entertaining activities such as a Sicilian cookery course, excursions by mountain bike, guided tours in the surrounding mountains, trips by boat, a pottery course, diving course and a guided social cultural tour of Palermo; in addition, the students will also be able to practice some sports and, upon request, we will be glad to organize trips to Erice, Segesta, Etna, Taormina, Agrigento, etc. . . The mildness of Sicily's climate and the original character of the Sicilian people will make the stay in Sicily a unique and fascinating experience.

A few ideas to golf in Sicily:

Sicily is positioning itself as a golf destination. Today Sol Melià announced that it will open a golf resort in Sciacca in 2012. Verdura Golf & Spa Resort was nominated among the sexiest golf resorts in the world a few days ago. Picciolo Golf Club and Le Madonie Golf Club are the other two courses where golf fans can train their skills.
