First stop Taormina

Your first stop is Taormina, a chic and glamorous town that boasts excellent restaurants, shops, beaches, and stunning views.

 

Stay at the centrally-located Hotel Villa Carlotta and enjoy a few days of indulgence, gorgeous views, and arguably the best breakfast in town.

Next, beach and baroque in South East Sicily

Next, head to the south-east coast of Sicily, to the heart of baroque Sicily, Ispica.

 

Here, you can alternate relaxing days of sunbathing and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Porto Palo and Pozzallo, reputedly Sicily's top beaches, with visits to the stunning baroque towns of Noto, Modica, and Ragusa.

 

Stay at Torre Marabino, a 7-room boutique hotel on an organic farm in the Sicilian countryside, just a ten-minute drive to the coast. Breakfast on fresh ricotta and homemade cakes, jams, and pastries amidst gardens dotted with olive trees in the Sicilian countryside, then laze by the large pool in the heat of the sun.

Continue to the vineyards of Western Sicily

Continue your journey to the vineyards of western Sicily, passing by the extraordinary Greek archaeological temples at Agrigento. Menfi, located at the heart of the local wine-growing area and home to several wineries, is your next stop. The Greek site at Selinunte is close by.

 

Stay at Planeta Foresteria, where activities range from wine tasting and cooking classes to cycling and general beach life. Visited by vintners from all over the world throughout the year, the winery is extremely highly regarded in wine and gastronomic circles.

End in ... Palermo

End your tour in Palermo, the lively Sicilian capital that is perfect for exploration. Here, you can explore the churches and palazzos in the historic center where Greeks, Romans, Arabs, Normans, the Bourbons, and the Italians have all left their mark.

 

Dip into the mouth-watering street food, and head to the beach at Mondello. Stay at the centrally-located Hotel Palazzo Brunaccini, housed in a Palazzo in the atmospheric Ballarò market.
