Join us in September 2025 on an unforgettable 22-day small group tour through Sicily and the Aeolian Islands.

Discover the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped Sicily over millennia — from Asian, African, and European influences — creating a vibrant, cosmopolitan heritage like no other in the Mediterranean. Forget your impression left by The Godfather... Sicily is a friendly, lively, bustling island with a fascinating history. Modern Sicily welcomes travellers with open arms, offering friendly locals, street markets, and breathtaking landscapes, including the unforgettable Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano. Sicily’s iconic volcano has been rumbling for thousands of years — shaping not just the Sicilian landscape but the people and culture that surround it.

Sicily will captivate history enthusiasts with its many cultural treasures. The Mediterranean’s largest island is renowned for having numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites. Its capital city, Palermo, could be considered wonderfully chaotic, with vespers on the streets heading in all directions on the wrong side of the road. Its dynamic energy must be experienced firsthand.

From there, we’ll venture to the Aeolian Islands, a dramatic volcanic archipelago in the Tyrrhenian Sea off Sicily’s northern coast. Lipari, the largest island, is known for its coastal charm, scenic trails, and relaxed island pace. On our tour, we’ll take ferries around the islands, enjoying a 6-night stay in one centrally located hotel, making exploring easy.

Sicily has an idyllic Mediterranean climate, from its stunning coasts to its mountains and vineyards, and September is the perfect time to visit.

You will fall in love with Sicily—a heady mix of old and new—and leave the island with a deeper understanding of the region’s culture, history, and natural beauty. Experience authentic Sicilian lifestyle and culture with our small group tour.
