Day 1 | Start your Sicilian journey in Palermo, whose rich trading history has left its unforgettable mark on the city’s Italian, Arab and Norman-styled piazzas, street markets and churches. Enjoy some free time to relax before joining your Travel Director and fellow travelers for dinner to kick-start your Sicilian adventure. Arrival Transfer Depart the airport at 12:00, 15:00 Welcome Meet your Travel Director at 17:30 Accommodation Hotel Garibaldi Palermo Included Meals Dinner |
Day 2 | Head to Monreale on the slopes of Monte Caputo where a Local Specialist will guide you through one of the greatest examples of Norman architecture, the 12th-century Cattedrale di Monreale. This evening, why not join an Optional Experience to the beautiful fishing village of Sferracavallo, at the foot of Mount Capo Gallo? Here, you’ll feast on Palermitano specialties, perfectly paired with delicious Sicilian wine. Accommodation Hotel Garibaldi Palermo Included Meals Breakfast |
Day 3 | Journey to Ancient Marsala Discover hidden Palermo as you join a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, and learn about the civil anti-mafia movement. Leaving Palermo behind, we head to Erice to explore the hilltop ‘Town of a Hundred Churches’ and enjoy free time for lunch. Next, stop at the Infersa Mill salt pans and learn about the ancient ‘culture of salt’, an industry which has shaped this region for centuries. Later, we arrive in Marsala, home to the wine which shares its name. During your evening at leisure explore picture-perfect Marsala or opt to join the Optional Experience at a Marsala winery followed by a dinner of regional dishes. Accommodation Seawater Hotel Marsala Included Meals Breakfast |
Day 4 | Onwards to Agrigento and Ragusa Today’s first stop is Agrigento where you’ll join a Local Specialist for a visit to the UNESCO-listed Valley of the Temples. You’ll explore one of the world’s most treasured centers of Greek art and architecture, including the seven sandstone Doric temples overlooking the city. There’s time for lunch before you head to Ragusa, a city with two very different souls – the lower and older Ragusa Ibla and higher Ragusa Superiore are separated dramatically by a deep ravine, the Valle dei Ponti. Accommodation Poggio del Sole Hotel Ragusa Included Meals Breakfast, Dinner |
Day 5 | Explore Beautiful Baroque Modica This morning, discover the rebuilding of Ragusa following a 17th-century earthquake which destroyed most of it. Your Local Specialist will reveal how this devastating seismic event led to the development of an entirely new city on a nearby ridge, while some of its brave residents remained to rebuild what was lost. You’ll hear how it was only in the early 20th century that the two were eventually fused together. Later, visit the UNESCO World Heritage-listed town of Modica. Your Travel Director will show you the sights on an orientation of this Baroque beauty before learning about the secrets of Modican chocolate. This evening is yours to enjoy at leisure or perhaps consider joining an optional experience to a unique local farm restaurant. Accommodation Poggio del Sole Hotel Ragusa Included Meals Breakfast |
