special Food tasting tour
A famous german writer (Goethe) once said: " you haven't seen Italy if you have not been to Sicily". Sicily is in my top 3 favorite destinations and this would be my 3rd trip on the island. Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is a place of remarkable beauty, rich history, and a unique cultural blend that makes it an enticing destination for travelers. It offers an enticing blend of history, culture, natural beauty, and culinary delights that will captivate any traveler. Whether you're seeking relaxation on the beach, a deep dive into history and art, or an adventure in the great outdoors, Sicily has something for everyone. Sicilian cuisine is a feast for the senses. Savor the flavors of arancini (rice balls), pasta con le sarde (pasta with sardines), cannoli (sweet pastries), and the island's famous seafood dishes. Sicilian wines, like Nero d'Avola and Marsala, are renowned worldwide. You should join this trip if you want to discover a very traditional and authentic Italy, if you love food and of course you love traveling!

About me! My name is Ella I am 39 and I am working remote as an event planner. I am absolutely inlove with the Mediterranean landscapes. I love good food, sunsets, coktails and music. I am easy going and I have a lot of energy when it comes to sightseeing :) My top 3 countries are Greece, Italy and Spain. (Portugal is quite there as well). At some point I was thinking to move there, but which one to choose ?! Join me on a trip to find out why I cannot decide!

Details about the accommodation: We will stay in 1 or 2 shared apartments (same area or building) depending how many trip mates we will be. Each apartment has a bedroom, a living room, kitchen and of course private bathroom. It's centrally located, so we can easily reach all the major atractions and the bus station to go around the islands. For those who want single occupancy there will be an extra fee. If you have any questions about the trip, please let me know in the Q&A section! We can connect by video call or just ask below!

Ella is a very nice and friendly person, and at the same time very well organized and energetic. She planned and organized the trip very well from the sightseeing and also exploring together new places, and enjoy with the tastes. She made it also flexible and considerate for everyone's wishes and made it such a fun experience :) It was a pleasure to be part of her trip and to travel with her and I would be happy to do it again, too.

5

San Vito Lo Capo

Day 6-7
Even a bit far I have this place on my wishlist for a while. San Vito lo Capo boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Italy. The main beach, Spiaggia di San Vito lo Capo, is renowned for its soft, golden sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Relax on the beach, swim, or try water sports like snorkeling and windsurfing. Unlike some of Sicily's larger cities, San Vito lo Capo offers a more relaxed and tranquil atmosphere. It's an ideal place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of daily life.
6

Tonnara di Scopello

Day 7
The Tonnara di Scopello is a centuries-old tuna fishery that dates back to the 13th century. It is one of the last remaining examples of a traditional tonnara in Sicily, showcasing the historical practices of tuna fishing, which were once widespread along the Sicilian coast. The surrounding area, including the Riserva Naturale dello Zingaro (Zingaro Nature Reserve), is a protected natural reserve. It offers hiking trails, pristine beaches, and opportunities for nature enthusiasts to appreciate Sicily's diverse flora and fauna.
