Description

Discover the beauties of Sicily during this five days self-drive tour. Drive through several UNESCO Heritage Sites and unique towns, and admire splendid views and art masterpieces. 


TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Palermo: the second largest historical centre in Europe with its largest number of UNESCO sites. It’s a city that has experienced centuries of dizzying highs and crushing lows. One will find crumbling staircases as well as Italy's largest opera house. Architecture in the city reflects the city's periods of Arab, Norman, and Spanish rule.

Catania: an ancient port city on Sicily’s east coast that sits at the foot of Mt. Etna. The city's wide central square, Piazza del Duomo, features the whimsical Fontana dell'Elefante statue and richly decorated Catania Cathedral.
