Italy is best discovered when explored at a leisurely pace, taking in landscapes, cultures and traditions that change with every kilometre. This driving route through the best of Apulia and Sicily will take you on a fascinating journey from Bari to Taormina, exploring two of Italy’s most captivating regions from behind the wheel. Along the way, you’ll discover the seaside charm of the Adriatic coast, white villages nestled amongst centuries-old olive groves, Baroque cities steeped in history, and some of southern Europe’s most iconic landscapes. From the famous “trulli” of Alberobello and the monumental elegance of Lecce, to the vibrant character of Palermo, the Greek temples of Agrigento, the medieval alleyways of Erice, the Sicilian Baroque of Syracuse and Noto, the coastal beauty of Cefalù and Taormina, and the volcanic landscapes of the ever-majestic Mount Etna. This itinerary combines heritage, gastronomy, the sea and nature with a carefully curated selection of stops designed to let you enjoy the journey at your own pace, discovering the most authentic Italy.

Important remarks
- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
