Etna, the golden temples of Agrigento, and the dramatic cliffs of Erice. Each day delivers curated cultural treasures, from strolling Palermo’s historic core and tasting arancine on Catania’s vibrant streets, to marveling at Monreale’s golden mosaics and wandering the lush Radicepura Botanical Park, home to more than 3,000 plant species.

Savor every moment with included tastings of almond sweets, Marsala wine, and honey on the slopes of Mt. Etna. Enjoy immersive guided visits to archaeological marvels like Selinunte, the Valley of the Temples, the Roman Villa del Casale in Piazza Armerina, and the iconic Greek Theater of Taormina.

This package is more than seamless—it’s curated. With 4-star accommodations for 2, your choice of full or half board (including regional 4-course meals and drinks), transportation via Granturismo bus, multilingual guides, all entrance fees, and the use of audio-receiving devices throughout, every detail is expertly handled.
