Sicily

Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, attracts. It arouses desire and magnetizes. Its three volcanoes pique curiosity, its legends bewitch, its heritage fascinates, its festivals excite, and its genius intrigues.

Its rich history and diverse landscapes make it the ideal destination for travelers curious to immerse themselves in Mediterranean culture. To discover the island, its historic towns, secret coves, and ancient sites, we recommend exploring it by car at your own pace. We disembark in Palermo, the bustling capital, before venturing out for a day to the island of Favignana from Trapani. After passing through the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento, we head east towards Ragusa and Syracuse. There, take the time to stroll among the sumptuous palaces before exploring Taormina and Mount Etna. The trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at one of the dammuso of Pantelleria, the most mysterious island in the Sicilian archipelago. To accompany you, passionate guides who opened their doors and their hearts to us.
