Overview

Explore Catania, Mount Etna, Taormina, Noto, Syracuse, Ragusa, Modica and the Cyclops Coast on a five-day guided Sicily tour.

Discover eastern Sicily’s volcanic landscapes, coastal scenery and late-Baroque towns on a five-day escorted journey beginning and ending at Catania Fontanarossa Airport.

The programme combines a guided introduction to Catania, the Silvestri Craters on Mount Etna, Taormina, Noto, Syracuse and Ortigia, Ragusa, Modica, the Cyclops Coast and Acireale. Four nights are provided in a three-star-superior or four-star hotel around Catania on a half-board basis.
