Highlights
  • De excursie begint met een bezoek aan Monreale, een kleine stad op de hellingen van de Monte Caputo

  • Je verkent de hoofdstad van Sicilië, Palermo, tijdens een wandeling langs topattracties

  • Deze excursie wordt begeleid door een lokale gids die Monreale en Palermo door en door kent
Dit kun je verwachten

De stranden van Sicilië behoren tot de beste van Europa, maar dit stijlvolle eiland heeft meer te bieden dan alleen maar adembenemende kusten. De geschiedenis en architectuur zijn een attractie op zich. Op deze excursie zie je deze kant van Sicilië tijdens een bezoek aan twee bijzondere plekken: de hoofdstad Palermo en Monreale. Een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, Rosaria, zegt: “Palermo is de grootste stad van het eiland, dus je ziet het bruisende Sicilië. Maar Monreale is een kleinere bergstad, dus je krijgt een leuke mix van bezienswaardigheden.”

Je eerste stop is Monreale, dat tegen de hellingen van de Monte Caputo, een 764 meter hoge berg niet ver van Palermo, ligt. Het stadje kijkt uit over de Conca d'Oro-vallei, die in heel Sicilië bekend staat om zijn sinaasappel-, olijf- en amandelboomgaarden – je zie het allemaal vanaf het uitkijkpunt van Monreale. De ster van deze plaats is de kathedraal van Monreale, een 900 jaar oud gebouw met bronzen deuren, een goudgeschilderd interieur en een Normandische buitenkant. De toegang tot de kathedraal is bij de prijs inbegrepen en je gids vertelt je meer over de geschiedenis.

Vanaf hier ga je naar Palermo, waar je tijdens een wandeltour met je gids door de kronkelende straten van de stad loopt. Sfeervolle pleinen, tempels, fonteinen – je ziet het allemaal tijdens deze relaxte tour. Ook is er wat vrije tijd ingelast, zodat je even op eigen houtje op ontdekking gaat voordat je weer bij de groep aansluit en terugkeert naar je accommodatie.

This half-day tour takes you through the heart of Catania, hitting all the must-see spots. Start your adventure at Piazza Duomo, where you'll stop by Catania Cathedral – it's dedicated to the city's patron saint, St Agatha. Don't forget to snap a pic of the Elephant Fountain while you're here, too.Next up is the fish market for a nosey around the stalls, piled high with the freshest seafood. Then, it's off to the Greek-Roman Theatre, a slice of Catania's past nestled right in the city centre. This ancient site boasts two open-air theatres – the larger Roman theatre and the smaller, semicircular Odeon. Both were designed with seats rising along the hillside, making the most of the sea views.From here, you'll stroll along Via Etnea, a popular shopping street, but the real highlight is the view of Mount Etna as you head to Piazza Stesicoro. Your guide will tell you about the Roman Amphitheatre near here, before your final stop at O'Luni Market. This local favourite is packed with fresh produce, meats and cheeses, and you'll have some free time to pick up any Sicilian treats that catch your eye.Throughout the tour, you'll sample some of the city's tastiest street food. Crispy arancini, AKA deep-fried rice balls, are a must-try. They're usually stuffed with fillings like ragu, mozzarella, or mushrooms – perfect for a quick snack. And, let's not forget the creamy cannoli, a classic Sicilian dessert. These tube-shaped pastry shells are fried to perfection, giving them their signature crunch. Then, they're filled with sweet, creamy ricotta, often mixed with chocolate chips and sometimes candied fruit or pistachios.

Sicily tour with Randazzo Market and wine-tasting by Mount Etna

Sicily tour with Randazzo Market and wine-tasting by Mount Etna

With the popularity of TV shows like White Lotus, Sicily has upped the ante as a must-see destination for set-jetters – that's people inspired by TV and film set locations to me and you. You'll find plenty of sights to capture for yourself on this full-day tour that takes in the town of Randazzo, just north of Mount Etna, and a winery where you'll get to taste the fruits of the volcanic landscape. Francesca, a local guide, says “I love the start of this tour, as we drive through one of Sicily's best kept secrets – the Alcantara Valley. You'll see hillside villages, gorges and the mountainous panoramas that Sicily is famed for.”The bustling town of Randazzo is your first stop, sitting on the north-west fringe of Etna National Park. It's one of the only towns to remain untouched by Etna's historic eruptions, so a lot of the classic Sicilian architecture of the churches and houses is still in its original form. Every Sunday is about one thing here – the local market, which you'll get free time to explore. Seek out regional specialities here, like sweet cannoli and local olives and mushrooms, or snack on arancini rice balls as your browse delicate ceramics on the stalls. Round off your experience with a trip to a top-tier vineyard for a tasting session on the slopes of Mount Etna. The volcanic soil is super fertile here and delivers crisp, citrusy whites and earthy, cherry reds. You can buy a few bottles to take home as a reminder of the taste of Sicily.

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Mount Etna guided sunset tour with Sicilian dinner

Watching the sky light up with shades of orange and then burn out into darkness while standing atop a volcano is a special sensation. This drama-rich tour takes you to Mount Etna – a must-visit when in Sicily. You'll head to an altitude of almost 3,000 metres to catch the sunset and then relax over a traditional meal to round off your adventure. You'll go by minibus to Etna, then, as the terrain becomes rockier, you'll switch to a 4x4 vehicle. As you make your way to 2,900m above sea level – the highest point that's safely reachable – there'll be stops to take in the harsh, lunar landscape and the lava-smothered flanks of this towering mountain. Make sure you're wearing comfortable walking shoes and warm layers – it gets cold at high altitude. After admiring the views from near the summit, an expert alpine guide will take you to a less exposed 2,500m, where you'll watch the sunset in a more comfortable location. Then on the way back, you'll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.
