A week across the top and down the east of Sicily, from the exuberant capital of Palermo to the ancient beauty of Syracuse, in the shadow of smoking Etna. This route strings together Norman cathedrals and baroque cities, glamorous Taormina and volcanic Catania. Expect three millennia of history and dramatic volcanic scenery, golden medieval towns and fishing-village charm, a rich and rewarding voyage.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
