Syracuse and the Euryalus fort. Definitely.

Taormina
Theatre Syracuse museum, amphitheater, theater, temple = Duomo, Euryaleus fort, Blessed Virgin of the Tears (opposite museum) (first read Thucydides, or -even better- Donald Kagan) Piazza Armerina Gela city wall, museum Licata (= Cape Ecnomus) especially for the beach where Gen.Patton landed in '43 Agrigento Temples, city, museum Selinus many temples, city Marsala Museum (has a Phoenician Warship!) + Motya!!!! Segesta Temple + city Palermo Archaeological Museum; Monreale, Capella Palatina. Most beautyful city of Italy* Cefalu Cathedral * [size=75:b8d42qom]Of course, Florence and Venice are more beautiful, but -let's face it- they are no cities. As a city, Florence has no heart (has been thrown to the tourists); and Venice is of course just the historical suburb of Mestre.[/size]

BTW, you live in the UK. Do not forget the Commonwealth Cemetery near Catania Airport, for those fallen in Monty's campaign to Messina. The landing zone at Augusta offers no special sights, but if you go to Taormina, you can see the rocks where the British fought their way through Italian and German resistance.
