8-Day Sicily and Eolic Islands Tour from Palermo: Castelbuono, Milazzo, Taormina, Agrigento, Erice | Ticket Admission Included | Hotel Breakfast Included

Every Day a New Discovery

What I loved most was the variety — one moment we were in a baroque hilltop town, the next cruising turquoise waters. Castelbuono’s pastries are a must-try, and Vulcano’s rugged beauty was unforgettable. Our group was small and friendly, and the guide was top-notch. Sicily has so many sides, and this tour showed them all.
