WALKING – WINE TASTING – COOKING
8 days tour
Sicily is the largest Mediterranean island and home to a fascinating mix of scenery, customs and local cooking, all in this same region. This walking tour takes us from the centre of the island from the town of Enna - through towns and villages in the Madonie mountain range down to the coast near Cefalů, returning through the Nebrodi mountain range, via Mount Etna and Taormina (the island’s most famous town), back to Catania airport from where you started. During your week in Sicily you will pass through 4 national parks: Madonie, Nebrodi, Alcantara and Etna giving you an example of just how different the island is from one area to another.
This tour is based and run on the
responsible tourism policy where we try to help the local economy by staying and eating in small family run establishments and using local transport arrangements. We have included a cooking demonstration, wine tasting and cheese making, as well as a visit to the shepherd to see him making ricotta, so giving you the opportunity to see the ‘real’ Sicily from the inside.
You will only need to carry a day pack as our support vans will transport the luggage on a daily basis. An added benefit from having transport accompanying us daily is that you can opt out if you so wish at any time. The walks are classified from
easy to
moderate and can be done by anyone who is reasonably fit. You should, however, expect some uneven walking surfaces and some ascents and descents.
