Details about this trip
In this no-fly trip we won't waste time for transportation but use comfy and safe night connections instead. The trip is designed to offer a balance between shared experiences and personal freedom. You can join the activities that interest you, while still having plenty of time for your own plans and interests. The official part of the trip will start in Genova where we will board the night-ferry to Palermo. I will be in Genova before but I recommend you to spend some time in the region (eg visit Portofino and hike Cinqueterre villages or we can meet up before already in Genova if want). So Friday night we will hop on the ferry with sleeper cabin and arrive in Palermo for a summer extension. In Palermo we will connect with other travelers, enjoy the sun with many daytrip options. It is up to you what to do on the day of arrival and on the next day. I would love to do some sightseeing with the group. We will then go to Cefalù which you might know from the White Lotus. There we will check into our B&B, chill at the beach and from there do the following day's activity. Then comes the important part: DAYTRIPS: - I booked Mount Etna AND a Stromboli Boat trip - ONE of the 2 will take place. I strongly prefer the Stromboli Boat trip as this is an active Volcano. In case weather conditions are bad, this one cannot be done tho. So I have 2 options and we have to decide based on the conditions. Right after the Daytrip, a Night-train which is loaded on a ferry will take us to Rome overnight where our trip will end for your individual planning. I will stay in Rome, too but will work from there, so I am still there for any recommendations!

Hi, I'm Gregor, as a professional online travel agent and tour guide, I can work from everywhere. I enjoy connecting to international travelers and getting to know different cultures. Of course, every experience is better when it is shared with companions - but it is important to me that everyone shall have their privacy he or she needs.

For accommodation, I’ll take your preferences and budget into account when making the arrangements. I generally prefer good-value apartments, B&Bs and hostels, and sharing accommodation is an option for those who would like to reduce costs. If you prefer more privacy, it’s also possible to arrange a private room or apartment nearby, subject to availability. Ready to extend your summer and discover Italy from a different perspective? Join me for a relaxed journey combining cities, Sicily, overnight travel and plenty of freedom to explore at your own pace. If you have any questions about the itinerary, transportation, accommodation or optional activities, feel free to get in touch — I’ll be happy to help you plan your trip!

Genoa

Day 1-2
Our trip will start here. We will meet up during the day, check out some of the city's monuments and maybe enjoy local food together, let's be spontaneous! :) If you arrive to Genoa a couple of days earlier, from here you will have the option for day trips to Portofino or the Cinque Terre Villages if you like hiking, however I will not be able to join you for those but I am happy to help with tickets and planning. We will hop on a ferry and sleep while traveling.

Palermo

Day 2-4
We will arrive by Ferry in Palermo via the Tyrrhenic Sea around 4PM. Take a book with you and enjoy this travel day. We will check into the hostel (Ostello Bello), eat at the hostel or any other place to discover Palermo. The day after arrival is reserved for sightseeing. Let's be spontaneous about it and discuss among each other. As this trip is not a guided tour in a classical sense, everyone is also free to spend the day independently.

Cefalù

Day 4-5
This is a location I sent many travelers to in the past. However many people know it from a well known Netflix series. It will be a beach day to relax after yesterday's hike. We will enjoy the town and have a drink for sure! Nighttime we will hop on our sleeper train to Rome.

Mount Etna

Day 5
Included is EITHER: 1) MOUNT ETNA on this day OR 2) OR STROMBOLI & PANAREA night cruise I already booked both free to cancel. The Mount Etna Tour is the safe option, however if weather conditions say so, I would prefer to go to Stromboli Island, which is an active volcano. As it is not always possible to go there, we need to be flexible and replan a couple of days before our tour. Are you up to it or what is your preference? Please let me know! Mount Etna: Having had a relaxing day at sea yesterday, we will get up early and be picked up in Cefalù directly. We will take our luggage with us. A professional tour guide will lead this experience for the day tour. Bring some good hiking shoes and sports clothes. It will have moderate temperatures but it can get chilly.

Stromboli

Day 5
This is the option in case it is possible (included INSTEAD OF MOUNT ETNA) We will go to Milazzo first and our organized day tour will start there. The provider picks us up at 11:00 and we will go to Panarea and Stromboli with a Boat Tour. We will return to Milazzo at the train station around 21:00. Right before our night train leaves.

Milazzo

Day 5-6
This is just a stop inbetween as we will board our night train to Rome here. The night will be spent on board of the train in a sleeping compartment. Please let me know if you are fine sharing one or even want to save some money by booking a seat instead of sleeping berth.

Rome

Day 6
Rome is the perfect end for our tour. We will efficiently arrive in the morning time and you will have the option to organize your day yourself or use my advice. I will be working in Rome but happy to share one or the other activity with you.
