About this trip

Journey through the cultural heart of the Mediterranean on an immersive exploration of Sicily—an island shaped by Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Spanish civilizations. From extraordinary archaeological treasures and UNESCO World Heritage Sites to vibrant coastal towns and dramatic volcanic landscapes, this thoughtfully curated itinerary reveals Sicily’s layered history and enduring traditions.

Travel by private vehicle across sweeping countryside, along rugged coastlines, and into storied cities where ancient temples, Baroque cathedrals, bustling markets, and seaside promenades coexist. Expert local guides bring each destination to life, while a balanced pace allows time for independent exploration, regional cuisine, and memorable Sicilian moments.

May 8-19 & October 3-14, 2027.
