Sicily Activity Holidays

Begin your Sicilian adventure upon arrival in Catania, the largest city in Sicily. In the afternoon, explore its charming streets, marvel at the stunning architecture like the Cathedral of Sant’Agata, and discover the ancient Roman Amphitheatre. Let dinner be your first introduction to some mouthwatering local cuisine before you return to your accommodation.

In the morning, board the northbound train to Milazzo, where you’ll journey below the magnificent slopes of Mount Etna. From there, catch a boat to the island of Vulcano, where you can bask in the breathtaking sea views. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience their famous thermal mud baths. You’ll spend the night on this remarkable island.

Get ready for some action, as you’ll go kayaking and snorkeling around Vulcano Island. The name of the island is actually where the word “volcano” was derived from. Marvel at its intimidating volcanic landscapes next to you, and the crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life below you. In the evening, return to Milazzo and rest up for another action-packed day.

After breakfast, you will travel towards the Sicilian hinterland. The Alcantara Gorge awaits you to experience the thrill of body rafting through its stunning canyon. Navigate through crystal-clear waters, jump from rock to rock, and use your body as a raft to slide along the foamy rapids. After this exhilarating and refreshing day, head to Catania for a well-deserved rest.

This day is a perfect combination of adventure and culinary delight. You will explore the Etna off-road and on foot, taking in its extraordinary landscapes and lava formations. Witness the impressive play of colors of the black lava and the diverse vegetation that thrives on the slopes of one of the world’s most active volcanoes.

Later, visit a local winery to taste some exquisite Etna DOC wines and indulge in an authentic Sicilian lunch. You will learn all about the unique properties of the volcanic soil and its impact on the flavors of the wines produced in this region before returning to Catania.
