  • Op de markt van Randazzo struin je langs de kraampjes vol handgemaakte ambachtelijke producten, keramiek en lokale lekkernijen

  • Je deskundige gids is een lokale inwoner die de bergstadjes en dorpen van deze regio van Sicilië door en door kent
Dit kun je verwachten

Met de populariteit van tv-series als White Lotus staat Sicilië nog hoger op de lijst van must-sees voor set-jetters – mensen die graag tv- en filmlocaties bezoeken. Tijdens deze dagtocht vind je een overvloed aan bezienswaardigheden om vast te leggen, zoals Randazzo, een kleine stad net ten noorden van de Etna. En bij een wijnmakerij proef je de vruchten van het vulkanische landschap. Francesca, een lokale gids, zegt: “Ik vind het begin van deze tour geweldig, omdat we door een van de best bewaarde geheimen van Sicilië rijden: de Alcantara-vallei. Je ziet dorpen op heuvels, kloven en de bergachtige panorama's waar Sicilië bekend om staat.”

Eerst ga je naar het bruisende Randazzo aan de noordwestelijke rand van het Etna Nationaal Park. Het is een van de weinige plaatsen die onaangetast is gebleven door de historische uitbarstingen van de Etna, waardoor veel van de klassieke Siciliaanse architectuur van de kerken en huizen nog in zijn oorspronkelijke vorm te zien is. Elke zondag draait het hier om één ding: de lokale markt, die je op je gemak verkent. Je snuift de geur op van regionale specialiteiten, zoals zoete cannoli en lokale olijven en paddenstoelen. En maak van de gelegenheid gebruik om typische snacks zoals arancini-rijstballetjes te proeven, terwijl je tussen de kraampjes met keramiek rondsnuffelt.

Je sluit je excursie af met een bezoek aan een topwijngaard voor een proeverij op de hellingen van de Etna. De vulkanische grond is hier heel vruchtbaar en levert frisse, citrusachtige witte wijnen en aardse, kersenrode wijnen op. Bevalt de smaak je? Grijp dan je kans om een paar flessen te kopen om mee naar huis te nemen als herinnering aan Sicilië.

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.

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.

Then, it's off to the Greek-Roman Theatre, a slice of Catania's past nestled right in the city centre.

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.

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
Excursions & day trips

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. Ciccio, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘The volcano's name derives from the ancient Greek word “aitne”, meaning “I burn”. It's an appropriate name for Europe's most active volcano.' As part of a select group of no more than 25 guests, you'll go by minibus to Etna. As the terrain becomes rockier, we switch to a 4x4 vehicle. As we make our 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. Ciccio says, ‘You might wonder why so many people live on Etna's slopes. The answer is simple – volcanic soil is extremely fertile, and you'll see traditional crops like vines and citrus fruits, plus newcomers such as avocados and papaya growing here.'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, we'll stop at a chalet restaurant for a typical Sicilian dinner.

Then, you'll traverse through the dense woodland to reach the Sartorius Craters, formed during Mt Etna's eruptive episode in 1865 that reshaped the northern slopes of the volcano. Along the way, you'll learn about what life is like living next to an active volcano, whilst witnessing the resilient vegetation that thrives in that environment.There's time for a walk amid the unique landscapes.

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. You'll visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Valley of the Temples, an archaeological site that's loaded with what's left of seven 2,500-year-old shrines, including the Temple of Concordia – it's ranked as one of the best-preserved Greek temples in the world. Afterwards, you'll head to one of the top ten most unique coastlines as named by TripAdvisor – Scala dei Turchi. Giuseppa, one of our expert local guides, says “the Valley of the Temples is landscaped with lots of flowering almond trees, another staple of Sicily, that will really add something extra to the photos you take here.”First up is one of the largest archaeological sites in the world, the immense Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. 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. You'll have some time to unwind and go for a swim before heading back to the hotel.
