Overview

  • Sicily is a land of diversity; you cannot do it justice in a short period of time. It is easy to forget that the island, with a population of 5 million, only became part of the Italian state in 1860. We suggest you look out for the ever-changing landscape, a feature even on a short trip, and it is not every day that you will visit a volcano, Etna, the characteristic hilltop towns rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693, and the affluence of picturesque Taormina. There is only one thing we are certain of you will enjoy Sicily!

Activity itinerary

Taormina

  • 1h
Sicily’s prime tourist resort was discovered by the British aristocracy in the mid 1800s. Facing Etna and the blue Mediterranean, this peaceful panoramic resort, 206m above sea level was colonised by the Greeks who built a theatre in the Hellenic period – 4B.C. The present Teatro Greco, altered by the Romans, is the venue for classical plays every summer. The high street, the elegant Corso Umberto, with its cafés, restaurants and boutiques is a bustle of nationalities. NOTE: Total tour duration includes check-in time and the travelling on the ferry to/from Malta.

Sicily

  • 1h
On the way to Mt. Etna we stop to sample some typical Sicilian delicacies, including wines / almond sweets and honey; these Sicilian specialities are for sale (no obligation to buy).

Mount Etna

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The largest and most active volcano in Europe. The climb to the crater takes us through picturesque villages and an ever changing landscape. The lower slopes of the volcano are extremely fertile with groves of oranges, lemons and other Mediterranean flora and of course vines which produce Sicily’s best wines. We go through forests of chestnut trees which gradually give way to oak, beech, birch and pine.

Malta

  • 5h
NOTE: Total tour duration includes check-in time and the travelling on the ferry to/from Malta.
