Arrive in Catania by 2pm and make your way to the first hotel in Taormina. Drop your bags and explore a bit on your own before meeting the group.

At 5pm, meet up with your new travel fam for a quick orientation followed by an Italian aperitivo and a fabulous welcome dinner! Buon appetito! 

After your first Italian espresso, we start the trip on a high note with a hiking adventure on one of the most active volcanoes in the world!

After a cable car and a 4x4 jeep ride, we will ascend the final kilometers to the top of Mt. Etna to learn about the geology of the area and to check out the steaming craters!

Later, return to town for some free time before a delicious Sicilian dinner.

We will start our morning with a boat tour in the bay of Taormina! Get acquainted with Sicily’s spectacular coastline from the water!

Enjoy a dip in the clear blue waters of Sicily and bask in the Sicilian sun.

Return to town to relax and enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening for yourself, doing some shopping, relaxing, or seeking out the best gelato in town!

After a few days in the seaside town of Taormina, it’s time to venture into the Sicilian forest! We will spend a few days exploring the Nature Preserve of Nebrodi!

But first, en route, we will stop to discover the spectacular and unique wines of Mt. Etna. We will enjoy a wine tasting and lunch at one of the best wineries on Mt. Etna before continuing to our home in Nebrodi. There, unwind before a beautiful dinner outside in the hotel’s forest (weather permitting)!

Today you can pick your own adventure! Whether it’s hiking, biking, or taking a 4x4 jeep ride, this is your opportunity to explore Nebrodi Natural Park.

If those aren’t for you, take this opportunity to relax with a good book on the hotel’s property.

Later enjoy a cooking class and eat the fruits of your labor!

Today it’s time to pack up and head to the seaside near the town of Noto! En route stop in Catania for a fun food tour that will double as our lunch!

Continue to the seaside and settle into our home for the next three nights! In the evening, enjoy a feast of seafood and local fair!

After breakfast, we will set out for the towns of Ragusa and Modica to learn about these Baroque cities.

Top off your tour with a tasting of the famed Modica chocolate!

Return to the hotel for some seaside time before another Sicilian dinner!  

On your final full day in Sicily, end your time relaxing beachside! Dip your toes in the Mediterranean and live that Bella Vita in Italy! Today is all for you but add some optional snorkeling or trekking if you can’t sit still like us!

After breakfast, we will shuttle you to the Catania train station or airport and say our farewells!  

In true Italian fashion, it’s time to say Arrivederci, or “until next time!!”
