Dit kun je verwachten

Op deze tour van een halve dag ga je langs alle must-see plekken in het hart van Catania. Je avontuur begint op het Piazza Duomo waar zich de kathedraal van Catania, gewijd aan de beschermheilige van de stad Sint-Agatha, bevindt. En als je toch hier bent, zet dan de Olifantenfontein op de foto.

Daarna struin je over de vismarkt met kraampjes vol verse vis, gevolgd door een kijkje bij het Grieks-Romeins theater, een stukje geschiedenis van Catania midden in het centrum. Deze oude site heeft twee openluchttheaters: het grotere Romeinse theater en het kleinere, halfronde Odeon. Beide zijn ontworpen met zitplaatsen die langs de heuvel omhoog lopen, zodat je een episch uitzicht hebt.

Vanaf hier wandel je door de Via Etnea, een populaire winkelstraat. Maar het echte hoogtepunt is het uitzicht op de Etna als je naar het Piazza Stesicoro loopt. Je gids vertelt je over het Romeinse amfitheater in de buurt, voordat de O'Luni-markt bereikt. Deze lokale favoriet barst van de verse producten, vleeswaren en kazen. En je hebt wat vrije tijd om Siciliaanse lekkernijen te kopen die je aanspreken.

Tijdens de tour proef je een paar van de lekkerste streetfoodgerechten van de stad. Knapperige arancini, oftewel gefrituurde rijstballetjes, zijn een regelrechte aanrader. Ze zijn meestal gevuld met ragù, mozzarella of champignons – perfect als snelle snack. En laten we de romige cannoli niet vergeten, een klassiek Siciliaans dessert. Deze buisvormige gebakjes worden tot in de perfectie gefrituurd, waardoor ze hun kenmerkende knapperigheid krijgen. Vervolgens worden ze gevuld met zoete, romige ricotta, vaak gemengd met chocoladeschilfers en soms gekonfijt fruit of pistachenoten.

    Dies war der erste Ausflug, nach Catania, der von TUI so durchgeführt wurde. Auf der Fahrt nach Catania hat unser Guide Fabio viel zur Geschichte erzählt. In Catania angekommen gab es noch eine kurze Einweisung, dann hatte man 1 1/2 Stunden zur freien Verfügung. Anschließend hat man sich getroffen und ist noch zwei Punkte angelaufen wo es sizilianische Snacks gab. Fabio unser Guide hat das alles sehr gut gemacht. Mit noch etwas feinschliff wird die Tour sehr schön. Aber für uns schon schön.

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.

Guided Corleone mafia resistance tour with lunch

Corleone was once a town once infamous for its mafia ties, but today it is a beacon of resistance and justice. The panoramic drive through the mountains sets the stage for an enlightening day ahead. Vincenzo, one of our expert local guides says, “This fascinating, insightful tour is designed to educate and debunk Hollywood's glamorised portrayal of mafia life, offering instead a genuine glimpse into the courageous fight against organised crime. This is an important tour for our town." First up is The Godfather's House Museum, a grand 19th-century residence that takes you on a journey through time, exploring the birth of both the mafia and anti-mafia movements. Next, delve deeper into this complex history at the CIDMA Antimafia Museum, home to an extensive collection of documents and exhibits chronicling the dark past and brave resistance against the mafia.

Finally, sit back and relax on your return journey to Cefalù, taking with you a deeper understanding of Corleone's transformation from a mafia stronghold to a place that local people are proud to call home, a place with a future free from the clutches of organized crime.
