Let yourself be guided on an adventure that will awaken all your senses. Preview From 2 person Classic Tour 14 Day\Days 25 ott 2025 Bookable at: PDF Download Eco-friendly: Not Provided Discover what awaits Day 1: Arrival in Catania Upon our arrival in Catania, a representative from Grea Sicily DMC will warmly welcome us directly at the airport and escort us to our hotel. The evening promises to be unforgettable as we head to a nearby traditional trattoria, where our guide will introduce us to the tour. And, of course, a delightful glass of wine awaits to toast to the Sicilian delicacies we're about to savor. We'll end the day with a relaxing overnight stay at the hotel. Day 2: Catania and Cefalù, Between History and the Sea We'll kick off the day by exploring the wonders of Catania. We'll stroll together through its cobbled streets, getting wrapped up in its distinctive Baroque charm, leading us to the grand Cathedral. Here, we'll dive deep into the captivating tales of Saint Agatha. Later, the vibrant energy of the fish market will captivate us, where vivid colors and lively chatter from vendors will offer a genuine snapshot of city life. But the day has much more in store! We'll head to Cefalù, a coastal gem nestled between crystal-clear waters and ancient structures. At the heart of its historic Cathedral, we'll unveil the secrets and traditions that shaped the island's culture. And, before sunset, we'll indulge in handcrafted gelato or relax with a stroll along its enchanting golden beach. We'll then proceed to Palermo, check into our hotel, dine at a local trattoria, and stay overnight. Day 3: Palermo, A Mosaic of Stories and Traditions Vibrant Palermo will greet us with its rich tapestry of cultures and traditions. After breakfast, we'll venture into the beating heart of its historic center, where the old seamlessly blends with the new. Every corner, from squares to monuments, has a tale to tell: from the solemn Cathedral, guarding the secrets of Frederick II, to the picturesque Quattro Canti. The Palatine Chapel, with its intricate mosaics, will be a visual journey across different eras and styles. In the afternoon, a unique experience awaits: the doors of a Baroque chapel will open just for us, revealing stories of extraordinary women who passionately supported their community. As evening approaches, our guide will offer invaluable insights on how to best experience Palermo's nightlife, away from the shadows of the past and immersed in the city's vibrant atmosphere. We'll dine at a typical trattoria and stay overnight. Day 4: Monreale and the Magic of Segesta The day promises to be emotionally charged from the very first chant echoing in the Monreale Cathedral. Here, we'll be enchanted by a unique narrative: through luminous mosaics, Byzantine artists wove a tale that will transport us straight into medieval atmospheres. But Sicily won't cease to amaze us: in the afternoon, we'll stand before the Doric Temple of Segesta. This archaeological marvel, solitary and majestic, stands against a backdrop of green hills and vast valleys, creating a contrast that seems almost painted by an artist. After a journey through time, we'll retreat to our sea-facing hotel, where a dip in the pool will offer a well-deserved moment of relaxation and serenity. Dinner and overnight stay. Day 5: Amidst Mozia's Memories and Marsala's Flavors After breakfast, our adventure will continue on the island of Mozia, an ancient Phoenician outpost hidden amidst the salt pans of western Sicily. Here, the Whitaker Museum will unveil forgotten treasures, including the famous "Mozia Youth" statue, a silent witness to bygone eras. After exploring the salt pans, where the sun makes salt crystals sparkle like diamonds, we'll head to Marsala. This city, renowned for its namesake wine, will welcome us to a historic winery where we'll have the chance to taste various Marsala wines, uncovering the secrets of their production. With the taste of wine still lingering, we'll move to Erice, a medieval village majestically perched on a mountain, ready to offer breathtaking views and timeless atmospheres. We'll check into our hotel, dine, and stay overnight. Day 6: Selinunte and the Secrets of Its Ruins Time will seem to stand still as we walk amidst the ancient ruins of Selinunte. Surrounded by majestic columns and forgotten vestiges, the silence will be broken by our guide's words, resurrecting the golden ages of ancient Greece with gripping tales. Not far away, at the Cusa Quarries, we'll be mesmerized by the marks of ancient columns, evidence of a time when art and craftsmanship merged in perfect harmony. After a journey into the past, we'll indulge in a culinary treat, tasting a local delicacy: pasta with bottarga, all enhanced by the fresh sea breeze. The day will conclude with our transfer to Agrigento, where we'll check into a cozy hotel. After some relaxation, a delightful dinner awaits, followed by a well-deserved rest. Day 7: Agrigento and Echoes of History The morning promises a wealth of discoveries in Agrigento's Valley of the Temples. Here, walking amidst the imposing Greek ruins (a UNESCO heritage site), we'll be transported back in time, reliving the deeds and traditions of ancient Greek settlers. We'll ponder: why did these ancient inhabitants decide to leave their homeland? This reflection will accompany us as we move inland, drawing parallels with today's stories of migrants seeking hope on Sicilian shores. The day will end at a refined farmhouse near Piazza Armerina, where the serene atmosphere and starry sky will offer a moment of peace. We'll delight in a dinner featuring local dishes before indulging in a rejuvenating sleep. Day 8: Roman Mosaics and Baroque Charm Sicily, with its Roman roots, will shine in all its glory at Villa Casale, near Piazza Armerina. The detailed floor mosaics will depict episodes of daily life, festivities, and entertainment: from elegant ancient ladies to daring bikini-clad girls engaged in athletic games. After immersing ourselves in these scenes from another era, the afternoon will bring a new adventure. We'll head to the Baroque heart of Sicily, where cities like Ragusa gleam with unique architecture, characterized by staircases, churches, and palaces that seem carved into the rock. The day will end with our arrival in Ragusa, where we'll check into a welcoming hotel. A dinner featuring local specialties awaits, followed by a well-deserved rest. Day 9: Ragusa and Modica, Between Architecture and Sweets The magic of Sicilian Baroque will envelop us from the morning as we begin our journey in Ragusa. The city, with its dual soul represented by modern Ragusa Superiore and historic Ragusa Ibla, will unveil architectural treasures (a UNESCO heritage site) at every turn. As we wander through alleys and staircases, we'll hear echoes of ancient stories told by stone and marble. The enchantment will continue with our visit to Modica, renowned not only for its architecture but also for its confectionery traditions. Here, we'll have the opportunity to visit the chocolate museum, discovering the secrets of this delicacy and, of course, indulging in a tasting, letting ourselves be seduced by the intense and enveloping flavors of Modican chocolate. We'll return to Ragusa for dinner and an overnight stay. Day 10: Syracuse, Where Past Meets Present Syracuse, an ancient maritime powerhouse and cradle of culture, will open its doors to us. We'll start by exploring the Greek theater, where once the voices of actors and the echo of applause would have filled the air. Later, we'll venture into the Roman arena, getting captivated by tales of gladiators and spectacular battles narrated by our guide. But Syracuse isn't just a dive into the past: the island of Ortygia, with wonders like the Temple of Apollo, the Aretusa Fountain, and the lively Cathedral Square, will showcase a perfect blend of history and contemporary life. As the sun sets, we'll immerse ourselves in the unique atmospheres of its streets, getting tempted by local scents and flavors, such as the unforgettable Pasta with Sardines. Dinner and overnight stay. Day 11: Etna, Sicily's Awakening Giant The majestic Etna, Sicily's age-old guardian, will beckon us. As we approach, its imposing silhouette and plumes of smoke will quicken our pulses, hoping the giant remains peaceful. We'll traverse landscapes that change with every step, from fragrant citrus groves and lush vineyards to black lava fields, indelible marks of its past eruptions. Once we reach an altitude of 1900 meters, those wishing to further challenge nature can venture up to 3000 meters (approximately €80.00 for cable car and special Jeeps), where the scars of recent eruptions will be within reach. And after dancing with the volcano, we'll pamper ourselves with local specialties, perhaps savoring a typical Sicilian liqueur to warm our spirits. At the end of this emotion-packed day, we'll return to Syracuse for a restorative dinner and a well-deserved rest. Day 12: Relax or Venture to the Aeolian Islands? The day promises flexibility, ready to adapt to everyone's desires. For the adventurous spirits, we have an unforgettable trip to the Aeolian Islands (Optional Excursion approximately €80.00) in store. We'll depart from Milazzo and anchor at Lipari, where, after exploring its beauties, we'll indulge in local delicacies. In the afternoon, we'll move to the island of Vulcano, where the earth will showcase its wildest and most primal side. For those embracing tranquility, Taormina will offer its hidden corners, ideal for total relaxation and to live the day at one's own pace. Dinner and overnight stay. Day 13: Taormina, A Dream of Landscapes and History The moment we set foot in Taormina, we'll realize its charm is timeless and unchanged. We'll begin the day with a visit to the Greco-Roman theater, where the majestic Mount Etna will provide a breathtaking backdrop. As we listen to stories and legends narrated by our guide, we'll feel as if time has stood still, and history is coming alive right before our eyes. In the afternoon, we'll have the freedom to explore: we can stroll along Corso Umberto, savoring handcrafted gelato, or refresh with a granita in one of the city's most characteristic cafes. The day will conclude beautifully: we'll gather for a dinner, toasting to the wonderful adventures experienced and those yet to come. Day 14: Farewell, Sicily! Our journey is drawing to a close, but Sicily has left an indelible mark on our hearts. After breakfast, we'll head to Catania airport, taking with us memories, emotions, and perhaps a few souvenirs.
