Heart of Sicily Self-drive in the iconic places of Sicily between nature, history and food and wine

The beautiful Sicily welcomes you for an engaging tour of the most famous cities with relaxing stops along a route that passes through naturalistic and historical places of rare beauty.

Your journey begins from the city of Catania from which you will immediately leave for Syracuse where you can admire its enchanting port that leads to the historic center on the delightful island of Ortigia.

Here you can lose your gaze between glimpses of the sea, the lively squares, the historic churches and the thirteenth-century castle overlooking the turquoise waters.

You will have time to make interesting visits and learn about the history of the city with a stop at the Neapolis Archaeological Park where the remains of an ancient Greek theater are preserved, a suggestive Roman amphitheater and the famous "Orecchio di Dionisio" limestone caves.

To appreciate the beauty of the coast between breathtaking lights and colors you can make a boat excursion through the crystalline waters of the Ionian Sea.

You will continue the route arriving in the city of Modica, historical and cultural heart of the Neolithic era, and you will reach Piazza Armerina, on a hill in the southern Erei mountains, where you can visit sites of great historical importance such as the Aragonese Castle, the Roman Villa del Casale and the Church of S. Pietro.

Halfway through the journey you will finally be in the splendid city of Agrigento with its labyrinthine historic center that exudes beauty at every street corner, amidst Arab, Norman and Baroque architecture.

A visit to the Valle dei templi, a UNESCO heritage site, will give you intense emotions as you admire the remains of the ancient Greek city of Akragas.

A walk, some shopping and a short tour outside the town towards the sunny beaches will complete your stay in the city before leaving for Castellammare del Golfo where you can admire the Zingaro Nature Reserve and the spectacular Tonnara di Scopello in contact with the nature of the territory.

Finally Palermo, the last stop on the tour, with its enchanting historic center that you will fall in love with, among wonderful squares, fountains and churches in an extraordinary mix of architectural styles with a discreet charm.

Delight your palate with local street food and try the tasty arancine and bread, panelle and crocchè to get to know the true essence of Palermo, its traditions and its food and wine.
