Dit kun je verwachten

Tijdens deze dagtocht staan twee van de topattracties van Sicilië in de schijnwerpers. Je bezoekt de Vallei van de Tempels, een archeologische site die op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESCO staat met de overblijfselen van zeven 2500 jaar oude heiligdommen. Waaronder de Tempel van Concordia, die wordt beschouwd als een van de best bewaarde Griekse tempels ter wereld. Daarna ga je naar wat volgens TripAdvisor een van de tien meest unieke kustlijnen is: de Scala dei Turchi. Giuseppa, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: “De Vallei van de Tempels is bezaaid met bloeiende amandelbomen, een ander kenmerk van Sicilië, die echt iets extra's toevoegen aan de foto's die je hier maakt.”

Eerst ga je naar een van de grootste archeologische sites ter wereld, de enorme Vallei van de Tempels in Agrigento. Hier vind je de overblijfselen van zeven tempels op een hoge heuvelrug, inclusief de ruïnes van de Tempel van Zeus en de Tempel van Concordia aan het einde van de Heilige Weg. De tempels zijn meer dan 2500 jaar oud, dus er valt veel te ontdekken over hun geschiedenis. Je krijgt een koptelefoon om naar je gids te luisteren, zodat je niks mist.

Daarna ga je naar de stralend witte Scala dei Turchi, een natuurlijke kalkstenen trap die in de kliffen is uitgehouwen en zich een weg baant naar de zee. Je hebt wat tijd om te relaxen en te zwemmen voordat je terugkeert naar het hotel.

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.

Afterwards, you'll head to one of the top ten most unique coastlines as named by TripAdvisor – Scala dei Turchi.

It packs in the remains of seven temples perched on a high ridge, all of which you'll see, including the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and Concordia Temple at the end of the Sacred Way. The temples here are over 2,500 years old, so there are a lot of pages in the history books to uncover. You'll be given headphones to hear your guide, too, so you won't miss any details.Afterwards, you'll make your way to the bright white Scala dei Turchi, a natural limestone staircase that is dug into the cliffs and weaves its way down to the sea.

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.
