Itinerary
Day 1 Palermo
Arrive into Palermo and pick up your car, before exploring some of the city’s historic monuments.
Day 2 Palermo to Taormina
Start your journey east along Sicily’s beautiful northern coast. Stop off in the coastal city of Cefalu, home to a 12th Century Norman Cathedral, a fortress style structure with elaborate Byzantine mosaics and soaring towers.
Day 3 Taormina
Part of the historical Grand Tour from the 17th Century and with history dating back to the 4th Century BC, Taormina offers a treasure-trove of stories. Along the coast, secluded bays with rugged white cliffs overlooking the glistening Ionian Sea are there to be admired and explored.
Day 4 Taormina
Perhaps set aside a day to explore nearby Mount Etna, which dominates the landscape. At 3,329m it’s Italy’s highest mountain south of the Alps, as well as the largest active volcano in Europe.
Day 5 Taormina to Syracuse
Enjoy a relaxing morning on the beach or take a stroll through the town before driving south to Syracuse. Home to stunning coastal views, the town itself features the fascinating Neapolis Archaeological Park, complete with a Roman theatre.
Days 6-7 Syracuse
Spend two days exploring the stunning beaches along the coast from Syracuse. A short drive brings you to the small village of Cassibile and the nearby Cavagrande del Cassibile Reserve. Here the river has created a series of deep canyons with idyllic, unspoilt natural lagoons, perfect for cooling off in the hot sun.
Day 8 Syracuse to Catania
Following a relaxed morning, drive to Catania to drop off your car before taking your onward flight.
