Sicily's Natural & Historic Delights

Day 1  Palermo    
Fly to Palermo and pick up your car before exploring some of the city’s historic monuments. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Palermo Cathedral is a beautiful example of architectural styles evolving.

Day 2  Palermo to Taormina    
Start your journey along Sicily’s beautiful northern coast. Stop off in the coastal town of Cefalu, home to a 12th Century Norman cathedral. The golden sands of the picturesque half-moon beach presents an inviting opportunity for a swim before driving onwards to Taormina.

Days 3-4  Taormina    
With a history dating back to the 4th Century BC, Taormina offers a treasure trove of stories. Perhaps spend the day hiking nearby Mount Etna, which dominates the landscape.

Day 5  Taormina to Syracuse    
Drive south to Syracuse. Home to stunning coastal views, the town itself features the fascinating Neapolis Archaeological Park, complete with a Greco-Roman theatre. Discover the ancient world first hand, in the very city where the brilliant Archimedes was born.

Days 6-7  Syracuse  
Spend two days exploring the stunning beaches along the coast from Syracuse. A short drive brings you to the small village of Cassibile and the nearby Cavagrande del Cassibile Reserve. Here the river has created a series of deep canyons with idyllic, unspoilt natural lagoons, perfect for cooling off in the hot sun.

Day 8  Fly home    
Drive to Catania to drop off your car before flying home.
