Sicily: Palermo & Taormina
From buzzing food markets and rooftop dinners to volcanic landscapes and seaside glamour, this Sicilian journey is designed for milestone moments worth celebrating—immersive, indulgent, and unforgettable.
Arrive in Palermo and dive straight into the city’s soul with a guided street food and market tour paired with cocktails and wine, followed by an unforgettable rooftop dinner overlooking the historic Quattro Canti.
A relaxed day to shop, explore, and soak in Palermo’s vibrant streets before gathering again for an elegant late dinner showcasing Sicily’s rich culinary traditions.
We travel east to Taormina, where 4×4 jeeps take us up Mount Etna for a guided hike across Europe’s most iconic volcano, followed by a winery visit and a sunset dinner overlooking the sea.
A free day to unwind or opt into unforgettable experiences like a private boat along the coast, exploring sea grottos, or strolling Taormina’s postcard-perfect streets.
Guests may choose to visit Catania’s famous food market for a final taste of Sicily or enjoy a leisurely day in Taormina before a celebratory farewell dinner.
