Check and see if the Green Guide offers a variety of itineraries lasting from 3 or 4 days to two weeks. Combining a couple of small ones might do the trick. The suggestions are usually found at the beginning of the book.

Lots of history and lots of beauty. Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, and more. Agree with nyt - settle in at your bookstore with a cup of coffee and a pile of the kind of guidebook that has a lot of pix (e.g. Insight, Exploring) - or borrow them from your library.
My must sees: Ortigia, Villa Casale, Monreale, Erice. Click on my screen name for my Sicily TR.

Once you decide what you would like to see and where you would prefer to stay, folks on this board will make many helpful suggestions about lodgings, transportation, distances, and other priorities. Be assured, you will enjoy southern Italy and Sicily….
