Grade: 1 (Leisurely) This is a very relaxing week where you can enjoy excellent regional gastronomy while visiting the most beautiful and important heritage sights and towns of Sicily. All the transfers will be by private air conditioned vehicle. Due to the distance covered during the week some of the drives are quite long but should never exceed 4 hrs (including stops). Please note that due to traf c restrictions in place in a lot of the historic centres visited you may have to carry your suitcase over cobbled pavements, although the bus will be leaving you as close as possible to your hotel. When this is not possible, portarage service will be provided and it has been included in the cost of the trip. Please also be aware that sometimes hotels don't have a lift. Sicily can also be very hot, possibly high 30s in the summer months from June to September.

Adult min age: 16 Min group size: 6 Max group size: 18 Itinerary Land Only Start City: Palermo End City: Catania Land Only Itinerary Day 1 Start Palermo. This tour starts in Sicily's regional capital, Palermo. This busy port city situated on the north-western coast of the island encloses some very interesting and often overlooked attractions. There is some ne architecture to be admired, as well as good museums, palazzi and churches. It is the city's food scene, colourful local markets and long established food shops, however, that give the city a very original and eccentric character worth discovering. Day 2 Explore Palermo, its famous markets and indulge in the city's fabulous street food; afternoon optional visit Monreale and its Duomo. We start our week with a special guided foodie tour through the historic centre of Palermo, ranked amongst the best cities in the world for street food. During our walk we wander through carts and kiosks of street vendors, colourful markets and local bakeries whilst trying some of the best local specialities. These may vary depending on the season and usually include arancini (fried rice balls stuffed with meat sauce and cheese), panelle (fried chick peas pancake), and sncione (Palermo’s traditional pizza) - all absolutely delicious. As we walk, the local guide will reveal some of the secrets of Sicilian street cuisine and explain the history of the city, while pointing out notable monuments and historic streets such as Piazza San Domenico, Vucciria, Quattro Canti. The rest of the day is free; you may decide to continue sightseeing in Palermo at your own pace or take an optional visit to Monreale, famous for the extraordinary Duomo, considered the greatest example of Norman architecture in the world. Overnight in Palermo. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch Day 3 Transfer to Trapani; hands on cookery class with a local chef; continue to Marsala and sample the town's world famous wines. In the morning we transfer to our next destination, the coastal town of Trapani. The local gastronomy in this part of Sicily is strongly inuenced by the Arabs, who occupied the area for many centuries until the Normans took over. A hands-on cookery course with a local chef will give us the opportunity to learn more about the interesting culinary fusions, while practising (and tasting!) traditional regional recipes. In the afternoon we head to the southern town of Marsala, internationally famous for its nest fortied wines. A wine tasting will be offered after a tour of one of the best local wineries. Overnight in Marsala. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch Day 4 Morning visit to olive farm for olive oil and produce tasting; transfer to Agrigento for a guided tour of the Valley of the Temples.

We will learn of the cultivation and production methods and sample some of the world's nest olive oil accompanied by local produce. In the afternoon we transfer to the iconic sight of the Valley of the Temples in Agrigento. A guided tour will allow us to discover and learn of the history of this splendid archaeological park, which consists of eight temples (and various other remains) built between about 510 BC and 430 BC. Overnight in Agrigento.

After a guided tour of this extraordinary UNESCO sight, we enjoy a delicious produce tasting of local sicilian delicacies. In the afternoon we transfer to the Baroque gem of Ragusa, without doubt one of the most beautiful cities in Sicily and Italy. The town is part of the Val di Noto UNESCO Heritage site and 18 of its buildings are protected by UNESCO patronage. After a short orentiation walk we will have time to enjoy a relaxing and well deserved aperitivo (word for the traditional Italian pre-dinner drinks and snacks) in one of the town's elegant piazzas. Overnight in Ragusa. Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch Day 6 Transfer to rural farm for cheese tasting; on to UNESCO Baroque town of Noto before reaching Syracuse; free time. We start our day with a transfer to a family-run farm in the countryside near Ragusa, a province where cheese making traditions are stonger than anywhere else in Sicily. After a cheese making demonstration and a tour around the farm we will sample some delicous cheese, including the famous ricotta, hand-made by the proud owners. Later, we transfer to the other Baroque gem of the Noto Valley, the town of Noto itself. After a relaxing stroll through what is considered one of Sicily's most beautiful historic centres, we have the opportunity to enjoy another staple of Sicilian cuisine: the famous 'granita' (thin akes of ice avored with fresh fruit or nuts and sugared) accompanied by the traditional 'brioche' (a soft and fragrant sweet delicacy). We end our day in Syracuse, the most powerful city-state in the Greek world and briey capital of the Byzantine Empire. The late afternoon can be spent free wandering around the narrow streets of Ortigia, the island where the city was founded, or simply relaxing and soaking up the cosy atmosphere in the historic centre while enjoying a glass of superb local wine! Meals included: Breakfast Day 7 Drive to Catania and visit the loud and fast-paced sh market; travel to Etna for an excellent wine and produce tasting and short walk; return to Catania. After breakfast we drive to Catania and visit the famous Pescheria, the colourful, loud and smelly sh market, which is one of the oldest and biggest in Italy.

  • University of Massachusetts Amherst Journalism Department Sicily Program
    University of Massachusetts Amherst Journalism Department Sicily Program Food Policy Agreement One of the reasons that so many travelers put Italy on the top of their list of great destinations is the food. Italian cuisine is world famous and some consider Sicilian cuisine the best of the best. Most of the food on your trip to Sicily is included, and on three occasions, we will be served special Sicilian gourmet class menus. Like all Mediterranean regions, typical Sicilian cuisine features fresh seasonal vegetables, bread, pasta, and a wide variety of cheeses, red meats, occasionally poultry, and, particularly in Sicily, seafood of all kinds. Italian meals traditionally have multiple courses and always include a selection of the food groups listed above from which a diner may pick and choose. We are proud of our ability to provide interesting, nutritious, and sometimes gourmet class meals at very reasonable cost, but we are unable to accommodate dietary alternatives that require special purchase or preparation. It is not acceptable to ask for different food items or special food preparation during group meals. The individual student, at his or her own expense, must address individual food preferences or restrictions. One of the major rewards of traveling is participating in the culture of the place you are visiting. If you choose to not take advantage of this opportunity to taste one of the world's great cuisines, it is your prerogative, but understand that others in the group are enjoying the island's culinary diversity. Please keep your opinions to yourself. I have read and agree to abide by the aforementioned food policy for the Journalism Sicily Program.

  • Sicily's Ancient Landscapes & Timeless Traditions 2021
    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® Sicily’s Ancient Landscapes & Timeless Traditions 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. Sicily’s Ancient Landscapes & Timeless Traditions itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: Who doesn’t love to eat in Italy? But Sicilian food, which is heavily influenced by the Arabs who thrived here, is in a league of its own. Sample the local flavors when you visit the Tunisian-inflected town of Mazara del Vallo and share a traditional Sicilian lunch with a local family. As you savor the home-cooked fare, you’ll learn how the city’s identity continues to evolve, and the vital role of the local fishing industry. You’ll also visit a home of a very different sort, one that traveler Carol Bowman described as “a house full of hope.” It’s Casa di Maria, an organization (and Grand Circle Foundation partner) established by a family in Catania to provide a loving home for children who are refugees or victims of neglect and domestic violence. The daughter-in-law of the founders (Sergio and Carmela) will enlighten you about Sicily’s foster care system. And you’ll meet more of the Casa’s extended family, including a young Nigerian woman who literally showed up on Sicily’s shores with nothing and grew up here, and hear her harrowing—but ultimately inspiring—story.
