SICILY in a Different Way, or the Unforgotten Pearl of Sicily
Let's experience Sicily differently. Let's explore the beautiful and evergreen mountains of Nebrodi. We'll pedal over 20 km, climb over 1 km in elevation, swim in the sea, see the sights, but most importantly taste the best Sicilian food (homemade and in restaurants)🍕🍷🍽
Program:
Day 1 - Arrival, drink at the bar
Day 2 - visit the monastery and climb the hill above the village (1.130)
Day 3 - trip to Tindari, swimming in the "Caribbean"
Day 4 - Sicilian breakfast in Mirto, tour of Frazzano, free time
Day 5 - Catafurco Falls, Sicilian lunch
Day 6 - climb Rocche del Crasto (1313), refreshment under the mountain (Rifiuggio del
Sole)
Day 7 - Capo d'Orlando - swimming in the sea
Day 8 - Trip to the islands (Lipari)
Transportation🚗:
- car rental
- I can drive you
- you can use public transport (trains, buses)
- own car
Dining🍴:
- local hospitality
- you can cook for yourself (the basics are here)
- I can cook for you
On the first day you will arrive in Catania (Catania-Fontanarossa, also known as Vincenzo Bellini Airport), where you will be picked up and together we will drive to the small village of Frazzano in the north of Sicily.
On arrival I will introduce you to my village, small, resort-like and the natives😀
Visiting the Monastery of St. Philip of Fragali🕍 (you can see it from the bed), where our Saint San Lorenzo di Frazzanó worked. From here, climb the first mountain above the village (2.3 km/ 40 minutes/ 296 m.) As Jára Cimrman said - climb up and look down😁
Ancient Tyndaris was the youngest Greek colony in Sicily, founded and fortified by the Syracusans in 396 BC to defend the coast against the Carthaginians.
It lies on a 280 m high cliff above the Tyrrhenian Sea. The city prospered under Roman rule, but was probably later destroyed by the Saracens. It has preserved the ruins of a Greek theatre from the 3rd-2nd century BC (rebuilt by the Romans), the 3rd-century BC city walls with the foundations of the towers and the main gate, Roman houses with mosaics, a modern pilgrimage temple and the Convent of the "Black" Madonna del Tindaro, standing on the site of the original necropolis. From the Square of Belvedere in front of the temple there is a beautiful view of the coast.
Then we'll take a swim at Laghetto di Marinello. It's not called the Sicilian Caribbean for nothing🌞
In the morning, we will have an authentic Sicilian breakfast at Mirto and visit the museum of clothing and Sicilian fashion👠.
After visiting the waterfalls, a typical Sicilian lunch at my friend's pub
A beautiful hike through the Sicilian countryside to the highest mountain in the vicinity. A short walk
Below the peak, then refreshments in a magical place.
Rolling, swimming, enjoying in Capo d'Orlando
After your trip to the Aeolian Islands, all you have to do is drive back to Catania and return home.
