Visit Sicily with us on this guided solo traveller holiday to the largest island in the Mediterranean. On this solo traveller holiday, we’ll have a ‘welcome’ reception on our first night in Sicily, so you have the opportunity to meet some of your fellow travellers from the outset. We’ll also enjoy plenty of guided group excursions including a trip to the mighty Mount Etna, a tour through the beautiful town of Taormina, and a visit to the Syracuse Archaeological Park, where we’ll discover the legend of the Ear of Dionysius. We’ll also sample some Vino along with typical Sicilian produce at a local winery. On all of our Italy holidays, we include plenty of leisure time; so we can soak up the sun in the seaside resort town of Giardini Naxos or explore the surrounding area with new friends.
Upon landing, we will be met by our local representative in the airport, who will escort us to our hotel in Giardini Naxos. As we travel to your hotel, our guide will share some information about the local region, suggest activities for us to enjoy and answer any questions we may have.
Morning
This morning visit the towns of Savoca and Forza D'Agrò, the location of many scenes in Francis Ford Coppola’s trilogy, "The Godfather". As your coach travels through the countryside you'll notice old huts & houses made of rocks, wood and bamboo and whatever the land had to offer. Highlights in Savoca include the Church of San Michele, the Catacombs of the Capuchin Convent and Bar Vitelli, still a functioning establishment, and was featured in the motion picture as the place where Corleone asked Apollonia’s father to meet his daughter. Your excursion continues onwards to the village of Forza D’Agrò, located on the lower peak of a small mountain, while on the higher peak that overlooks the town are the remains of Norman castle.

Afterwards, visit Noto, capital of the baroque and often called ‘Il Giardino di Pietra’ (the stone garden) for the richness of art that you can find here. Noto became a world heritage site in 2002, thanks also to its spectacular cathedral that we will be able to visit after the long closure for restoration.
