Why are we staying in 4 hotels for this tour?
Sitting in an important strategic spot for trading connecting the Western and Eastern Mediterranean, Sicily has always been an incredible melting pot of civilizations and nationalities over the centuries. The Greeks, The Romans, The Arabs, the French and the Spanish all left their mark across the island. By staying in different places, we can experience the rich cultural highlights of this remarkable island and its spectacular architecture, temples, cathedrals, art and cuisine. We travel out of season when the island is wonderfully uncrowded and comfortably warm with average temperatures of 20°C. Our carefully handpicked hotels are selected for their unique locations, friendly service and proximity to iconic ancient attractions. These include the welcoming family-owned Al Madarig situated in the authentic Arabic fishing town of Castellammare del Golfo. Whilst the charming Colleverde Park in Agrigento sits just above the famous ‘Valley of the Temples’ – the Greek city of Agrykas – its luscious tropical gardens are the perfect setting for a sundowner. The Modica Inn Centro is in the centre of the ancient baroque town of Modica with its magnificent cathedrals and buzzing shops, restaurants and cafes. Surrounded by Greek ruins, ancient alleyways and tiny seafood restaurants, the Baroque styled Hotel Livingstone in coastal city of Ortigia looks out across azure blue waters.
