Italy (Sicily), 10 Days · Tailor-made by car

Route through the most breathtaking Sicily

Discover the most amazing places on a tour through the "Island of Fire"

Sicily hooks you in from the very moment you set foot on the island. Where do we start? Its Mediterranean soul, its heart of fire, its unique cultural fusion from the influences of East and West, its outstanding archaeological sites and famous Greek temples, its stunning natural and volcanic landscapes, magnificent beaches and charming towns and cities with sea views, its quaint traditions, and its delicious cuisine and fine wines. There are a host of reasons that will inspire you to explore this Italian gem, home to important civilisations that left beautiful traces of a glorious past. The "Breathtaking Sicily" tour is a packed itinerary that will take you through the highlights of this Mediterranean island. An invitation to discover one of the most stunning road trips in Europe. The amazing capital of Palermo is the ideal starting point to explore an island full of surprises. The road winds through breathtaking landscapes, famous landmarks and places full of authenticity which have not yet been affected by mass tourism. Discover the most authentic Sicily by car, at your own pace, enjoying every step of the way. On your tour, you'll discover such gems such as the Palace of the Normans (Palermo); magnificent cathedrals like those of Monreale and Cefalu; beautiful medieval villages with stunning views such as Erice; the old towns of Trapani and Ragusa, where you can enjoy a leisurely "passeggiata"; the incredible temples of Segesta, Selinunte and Agrigento; and unique places such as Piazza Armerina and the Villa Romana del Casale. The east cherishes one of the island's greatest hidden treasures: the incredible "late baroque cities of Val di Noto", a trail of World Heritage sites characterised by their important legacy and breathtaking beauty. The vibrant city of Catania, which lies at the foot of the giant Etna (the largest active volcano in Europe), will fascinate you with its nightlife. The beautiful nearby town of Taormina, with its monumental Teatro Greco, its romantic corners swathed in bougainvillea and charming little squares, will transport you back to the glamour of the fifties and sixties, when the beauty of this island dazzled writers such as Truman Capote, Thomas Mann or Goethe; royals and aristocrats such as William II; and film stars like Greta Garbo, Cary Grant, Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth. Don’t miss out!

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.

- 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.
