• Discover the most authentic Sicily with the freedom of a self-drive tour
• Hands-on culinary experiences to learn and taste the best of Sicilian gastronomy: a unique palimpsest of customs and fusions stratified over nearly 3000 years, from Greeks to Arabs, from Normans to Spanish. In the spirit of the millenary tradition that car travellers will prepare dishes with the true custodians of Sicilian cooking Mums and Grandmas.
• A unique trekking tour with an expert hiking guide will take travelers among prehistoric rock-cut tombs and medieval rupestrian settlements within the Hyblaen mountains to finally enjoy lunch in a shelter among the cliffs.
• Cultural sightseeing in the most charming Baroque cities of Eastern Sicily: Modica, Noto, Scicli, Ragusa and Syracuse
• Meet the locals: from a local diary farm to a “women’s” winery, from a pottery artisan to a chocolate maker, our local experiences will uncover the deepest parts of an island defined by its people and stories. These stories narrate centuries-old traditions, the efforts and genius of Sicilian inhabitants, friendly and passionate people that hardly try to perpetuate the tradition of almost extinct jobs
