What You’ll Experience
Start in Palermo, where Arab-Norman architecture, street markets, and ancient cathedrals mingle with modern life.

Your first nights set the tone — vibrant, rich, full of stories handed down through centuries.
Palermo & the Northern Coast
Countryside & Olive Groves
Venture into rural Sicily to stay in an olive-grove farmhouse, surrounded by century-old trees and rolling hills. Here, you’ll visit working olive farms, learn how olive oil is produced, and sample the results straight from the source. There’s peace in this countryside — olive branches shading slow dinners, and the soft hum of cicadas in the warm air.
Valley of the Temples in Agrigento
Journey to Agrigento, home to the majestic Valley of the Temples, where ancient Greek ruins rise under the Sicilian sun. Walk the sacred grounds, admire the Doric columns, and feel the power of history woven into every stone. Nearby, almond trees bloom, and private picnics bring this ancient landscape to life in a deeply personal way.
Taormina & the Eastern Coast
Finally, head to Taormina, perched above the Ionian Sea. Stay in a cliffside luxury hotel with views over the Bay of Naxos. Explore the ancient Greek theatre, stroll through lush gardens, and visit the charming village of Castelmola for panoramic views. You can also boat to Isola Bella, relax on hidden beaches, or ride along the coast at sunset.
