Welcome to Sicily! Pick up your car at the airport, and if you have time, head to Etna, where you can take a walk and be captivated by the power of nature. Then, head to breathtaking Taormina, where you can soak up the atmosphere of Sicily and fall in love with this incredible town. However, if you arrive late or are tired, head straight to your accommodation and start exploring Sicily from the next day.

You will ascend to the Chiesa Madonna della Rocca church via historic steps, from where you will have breathtaking views of the entire town of Taormina, the sea, and the surrounding mountains. Afterward, you will visit the iconic Teatro Antico di Taormina, where ancient history merges with the beautiful Sicilian nature and views of Etna. This will be the perfect moment to taste the first traditional delicacies (such as Arancini or sweet Cannoli). Then, you will stop at the fairytale island of Isola Bella and head towards the picturesque Cefalù, where you will enjoy a stroll through the streets, relaxation by the sea, and the true atmosphere of northern Sicily. In the evening, you will arrive in Palermo, which has a unique atmosphere after dark and is definitely worth an evening walk.

Start your day in Palermo at the legendary Mercato Ballarò morning markets, where you'll be immersed in the true Sicilian atmosphere, the scent of fresh fruit, and local specialties. I definitely recommend tasting the fresh orange juice and other goodies, as this is where you'll experience Palermo in its most authentic form. Then, head towards the sea past the aristocratic palaces, the green oasis of Orto Botanico di Palermo, and the historical Palazzo Chiaramonte Steri. At the port, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, have lunch overlooking the sea, and visit the Castello a Mare fortress. In the afternoon, return to the historical center past the famous Teatro Massimo and the main streets full of life. End your day at the iconic Quattro Canti and the majestic Palermo Cathedral, one of the most beautiful monuments in the entire city.
