Join us as we explore the crossroads of the Mediterranean Sea, Sicily, with its incredible beaches, delicious cuisine and storied past. We’ll experience the island’s rich history and unique culture on this 7-night group holiday in Italy. Starting in the buzzing city of Palermo, where ancient meets modern in spectacular style, we’ll spend two nights discovering its historic landmarks and cultural heritage before travelling on to the popular resort town of Giardini Naxos, the site of Sicily’s first Greek colony and our base for the remainder of the holiday.
