Sicily in Depth - Small Group

Relax and settle in before meeting your Travel Director and small group for dinner at a local restaurant. It’s the perfect chance to connect with your fellow travelers as you begin your journey through Sicily.

Trace Palermo’s layered history on a walking tour that leads into the 12th-century Palatine Chapel, explored in the company of a Local Expert. The afternoon opens into unhurried time in and around Palermo Cathedral, where shifting architectural styles reveal the city’s changing story. As evening settles, join your small group for a relaxed Dine-Around, sampling the dishes locals favor and the way they like to enjoy them.

Nestled along its crescent-shaped coastline, Trapani sits close to the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll discover the age-old tradition of salt production on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience, visiting the colorful salt pans and an ancient stone windmill where seawater settles into clear salt crystals. Then continue to Marsala and savor an exclusive tasting at a local winery with your group - enjoying the town’s renowned wine in quiet, sunlit surroundings.

Journey along the southern coast of Sicily towards Agrigento, where the Valley of the Temples unfolds across a ridge above the sea. Walk the site with a Local Expert, taking in how this UNESCO-recognized site remains as some of the finest expressions of ancient Greek architecture. Marvel at the Temple of Concordia and the cliff-top Temple of Juno, each carrying centuries of stories in their columns and outlook. Afterwards, gather back at the hotel for dinner with the group, sharing reflections on the day’s unforgettable discoveries.
