Focus on Sicilia Launches Three Brand-New Photo Tours in Sicily

August 9, 2019 By Travel Magazine Tagged With: Photo Tour, Sicily, street photography, travel photography

Focus on Sicilia, a travel photography company based in Sicily, has developed three new photo tour itineraries on this magnificent Italian island. These eight- and twelve-day excursions are built by photographers for photographers. They take you to Sicily’s most fascinating locations at the right time of day for the best light, offering not just the island’s famous spots, but many stunning areas known by locals only.

The beautiful Piazza Duomo, with its 2700 years of history is located on the islet of Ortygia in Syracuse, Sicily. The ancient Greek temple of Athena has been incorporated in the present cathedral with a Sicilian baroque facade. One of the locations we visit with the Eastern Sicily and Sicily Highlights Photo Tours organized by Focus on Sicilia.

Sicily is often called the Pearl of the Mediterranean and is arguably Italy’s most diverse and beautiful region. It provides a unique combination of natural beauty for landscape and seascape photography, gorgeous cityscape opportunities in the many medieval and baroque cities and towns, and beautifully preserved ancient Greek and Roman heritage sites. Add to this the endless possibilities for street photography at colorful fish and vegetable markets, picturesque squares where the elderly men discuss politics, and avenues filled with the Sicilian way of life.

For centuries the typical Sicilian windmills have worked to move the water around the saltpans in the Saline della Laguna near Marsala, Sicily. Nowadays replaced by modern waterpumps, they are very photogenic surrounded by the water basins of different shades of blue and pink caused by the salinity of the brine. This location is included in the 2019 and 2020 itineraries of the Western Sicily and Sicily Highlights Phototours by Focus on Sicilia.
