Spend a week exploring the volcanic island of Sicily, where you'll discover vibrant cities, dramatic landscapes and unforgettable cuisine.
Stay in three different cities and from the lively streets of the capital Palermo, to the baroque beauty of Catania and the coastal retreat of Cefalù, uncover years of history, immerse yourself in local traditions and experience the renowned culinary scene, with several foodie experiences included.
In Palermo, enjoy a mixture of independent exploration, coupled with a guided food walking tour, where you'll indulge in the city's iconic street food scene - a great introduction to the island's culinary delights.
In the heart of the island, visit Enna and learn about this traditional craft during a ceramic-painting workshop, before heading to Mount Etna, Europe's largest and most active volcano. Here, you can look forward to a delicious lunch and memorable wine tasting, where fertile soils produce distinctive local wines. You'll also receive a bottle of local wine (uniquely grown on volcanic soil) per booking to enjoy during the tour.
Your journey will end on the coast in Cefalù, where relaxed days unfold beside clear blue waters and historic streets. Take time to slow down, soak up the atmosphere and savour Sicily at its most laid-back, before rounding off your trip with a sunset barbecue overlooking the sea.
