About the trip

This week-long tour follows northern Sicily's coast from the medieval streets of Cefalù to the buzzing urban charm of Palermo, Taormina, and Catania. In Cefalù, the notable Duomo stands as a reminder of Norman rule, while narrow lanes reveal everyday Sicilian rhythms.

The itinerary crosses the sea to the Aeolian Islands, including Panarea and Stromboli, where boat excursions pass blue waters and black volcanic beaches. The evening trips to Stromboli provide a chance to watch its volcano's intermittent glow, a spectacle tempered by the steady rocking of the vessel.

Along the way, expect orientation walks rather than detailed lectures, providing the layout and essentials of each town. The tour is small-group, led by a G Adventures CEO, balancing organised activities with moments free for personal exploration or quiet cafés. It requires a certain nimbleness, with stairs and public transport frequently part of the journey.
