For a longer holiday and more thorough exploration of Sicily, why not combine this walk with our journey in the eastern part of the island, Baroque Riches of Sicily?
  • delightful hotels
  • wealth of cultural and historical interest
  • superb walking in the Zingaro Nature Reserve and beyond
  • hire car included

In this enchanting north-west corner of Sicily, enjoy wonderful contrasts – Baroque cathedrals in vibrant Palermo, ancient temples set amid quiet hills and valleys, and the rugged, beautiful coastline, carved into rocky outcrops and white-pebbled coves by an azure sea. This region of Sicily is alive with history, mythology and classical scenery, and is an exciting blend of cultures shaped by numerous Mediterranean and North African civilisations.

There is plenty to intrigue and captivate - Greek monuments, rugged inland hills, medieval towns and a surprisingly diverse flora and fauna.
     
With the chance to explore the city of Palermo and its treasures, time for leisurely walking on coastal and inland pathways, and endless opportunities to sample Sicily’s colourful cuisine and famous wines such as Nero d'Avola and Marsala, this holiday offers a satisfying combination of culture and relaxation. Autumn and spring are the perfect times to view Sicily’s shores and ancient sites – free from crowds, warm and golden in autumn, freshly carpeted with flowers in spring – and with the freedom of a hire car, you can wander where you choose.
