Highlights
  • Taormina - Enjoy comfortable return transport from Taormina as you visit some of the most spectacular sights Sicily has to offer. Depart from Taormina in a comfortable minivan or luxury minibus which is heading for one of Sicily’s most spectacular sights.
  • Giardini Naxos - Start your tour from Giardini Naxos’ meeting point, if you prefer.
  • Neapolis Archaeological Park - The archaeological park in Syracuse was constructed in the 5th century BC, then rebuilt in the 3rd century AD. The 16,000-capacity amphitheatre, also known as the Teatro Greco, is the archaeological park’s mind-blowing centrepiece, though there are other key sites such as the Latomia del Paradiso, a deep limestone quarry from which stone to build the ancient city was extracted.
  • Ortigia - this trip is packed with some of the island’s top attractions - such as the island of Ortigia. Here, you’ll take a guided walking tour with an expert local guide who can answer any and all of your questions on the island - which is the historic centre of Syracuse. Take in the most famed landmarks such as the Cathedral “il Duomo”, the Maniace Castle and the Aretusa fountain. Any day trip in Sicily is not complete without a traditional lunch, which is included in our tour, with wine tasting as well!
  • Catania - Cosmopolitan, exuberant, eclectic. Catania is a multicolored universe, from the sparkling whiteness of the baroque stuccoes (UNESCO heritage) to the volcanic black of Liotru, the elephant sculpted in basalt that welcomes us in Piazza Duomo, the heart of the city.
  • Taormina - Return trip to Taormina
