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.

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. After a walking tour of Corleone's historic streets, you'll be whisked off to a local restaurant near the Royal Palace of Ficuzza for a classic Italian lunch, surrounded by natural beauty. 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.

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.

Full-day Valley of the Temples and Scala dei Turchi tour

Two of Sicily's highlights are in the spotlight on this full-day tour.

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.
