Italy

Sicily is a land of beauty, colors, and mystery. Poets, writers, travelers, and artists from all over the world who visited the region fell in love with it. They left a piece of heart that keep on beating on the sandy beaches, the bright villages, and the endless sea. To many Sicilians like me, Sicily is not just a destination, it is a path toward discovery and creativity where culture meets traditions. And this is the type of journey that I would love to take you on. 📍 Please join me on this journey if these activities ring a bell to your adventurous selves: - Discover the Sicilian Barocco in Catania and enjoy its vibrant nightlife - Immerse yourself in the history of Acitrezza and decrypt the legends of Isola Lachea while snorkeling in crystal water - Get lost in the small streets of Taormina and enjoy its beautiful landscapes - Camp on the highest active volcano in Europe (Etna), visit the lava tunnels, and enjoy the sounds of nature - Swim in the blue water of Plemmirio and enjoy the good vibes of Ortigia - Chill on one of the most beautiful Sicilian beaches and visit the Unesco World Heritage site of Noto - Sleep on a paradisiac beach on the southernmost tip of Sicily, where the Mediterranean encounters the Ionian Sea - Visit the picturesque village of Marzamemi with its beautiful port and triumph of lights I have already performed this trip with my friends several times and I know these places very well. Even after having traveled to many different countries around the world, I keep on repeating this trip every time I am in Sicily, and never stopped to be amazed by it. This is the reason why I decided to go on this journey with you, to let you discover the beauty of Sicily and share unforgettable moments. More detailed information about the organization is available here below: 🚗 We will rent 2 cars in order to freely move around the island and smoothly organize our daily activities. 💰 The trip costs include the car rental, a small organizational fee, and the following accommodations: - 3 nights in Catania in a bed&breakfast - 1 night camping on the Etna - 1 night in Ortigia in a shared flat - 1 night camping on the beach in Isola delle correnti All the other costs will be shared within the group. 🚀 We will be traveling in September, which will allow us to avoid the big crowd of summer tourists 💬 If you think this trip is for you, please send me a message so we can have a quick chat and discuss it in more detail! I leave you with this sentence from Goethe, who loved Sicily as much as you will do: "It is in Sicily that one finds the key to everything. The purity of the contours, the softness of everything...the harmonious unity of the sky with the sea and the sea with the land... those who have seen them only once will possess them for a lifetime". See you soon in paradise! Giuliano

Catania

Day 1-2

I will first guide you through the wonders of Catania (my hometown and also home to an international airport). We will walk through the centro storico, to admire its Sicilian Barocco and learn about its history and multicultural origin. We will combine sightseeing with a good dose of nightlife, hanging out in local bars, listening to good music, and enjoying the hidden treasures of the night in Catania. You will find out the reason why my city is called the "Milano of the South" by many.

Aci Trezza

Day 2

I will then show you the beautiful fishermen's village of Acitrezza, the setting of the Giovanni Verga literature masterpiece "I Malavoglia". After having visited the village, we will go on a quick boat trip with a local "barcaiolo" to reach the Isola Lachea and learn about the legend of the Cyclops Polyphemus. There we will do some snorkeling in the crystal water and chill in the sun.

Taormina

Day 2-3

Our trip will then lead us to Taormina, one of the most unique places in Sicily, with its beautiful landscapes and dynamic vibes. We will swim in the outstanding Isola Bella, visit the Greek theater, lose ourselves in the small streets and eat delicious Sicilian food. After visiting Taormina, we will come back to Catania and spend the night there. This will allow us to rest before the amazing day 3.

Mount Etna

Day 3-4

We will then move to the Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe and the older brother of every Sicilian. We will do a 2h trekking to visit the lava tunnels, reach the campsite, and witness one of the most beautiful sunsets you have ever seen in your life. We will camp there and spend the night, filling our souls with the peace offered by nature. Please note that this trekking is subject to change based on the volcano activity. I will be in contact with the Chief of the Forestry Corps in order to assess the feasibility of this trekking/camping. After all, Etna is a (very much) active volcano and we need to respect its will!

Island of Ortigia

Day 4-5

We will come back from the Etna by doing another 2 hours of trekking and see the aftermath of the 2002 eruption and one of the volcano mouths. After that, we will drive to Siracusa to swim in the blue sea of Plemmirio and enjoy the good vibes of Ortigia, in which we will spend the night.

Isola delle Correnti

Day 5-6

We will chill on the outstanding beach of Calamosche (my favorite one!) and have an authentic lunch in a local restaurant. Later, we will visit the city of Noto, one of the most renowned Unesco World Heritage sites in Sicily. Finally, we will drive to Isola delle Correnti, the southernmost tip of Sicily where the Mediterranean encounters the Ionian Sea in a celebration of colors. We will spend the night camping at the beach, to embrace the sound of the sea, sing, and dance around a fire, and celebrate life!

Marzamemi

Day 6-7

Let's call it a "lazy" day, in which we will spend most of our time on the wonderful sandy beach of Isola delle Correnti, we deserve it after all of this adventure! During the evening we will visit the picturesque village of Marzamemi with its beautiful port and triumph of lights. We will then drive back to Catania to spend our last night there and rest our bodies and minds!
