Itinerary

Day 1 London - Catania Titan’s VIP door-to-door travel service collects you from home, for your journey to London Gatwick Airport for a direct, scheduled British Airways flight to Catania. On arrival we drive to our hotel for the next three nights, the UNA Hotel Palace (4T) or Hotel Principe (4T), where dinner is included this evening. Day 2 Syracuse - Ortigia Today we travel south with our local guide to Syracuse, rich in Ancient Greek history. Later we visit Ortigia, a small island joined to Syracuse by a bridge since the 16th century, but its past goes further back and it is a pleasure to explore the narrow medieval lanes. Dinner is included at the hotel. Day 3 Aci Castello - Catania This morning we travel to Aci Castello, whose 11th century Norman castle is built out of lava, before moving on to Catania, Sicily’s second largest city, and its beautiful historic centre shaped by Mount Etna’s temper. You are then free for the rest of the day. Day 4 Catania - Cefalù - Palermo We spend some time in the attractive maritime town of Cefalù this morning on our way to the bustling city of Palermo. Our hotel, the Hotel Palazzo Sitano (4T), is centrally-located, close to the sea and the lively streets. Dinner tonight is at a local restaurant, just a short walk away. Day 5 Monreale - Palermo Today we travel to Monreale for a guided visit of the magnificent cathedral, famed for its multi-coloured marble paintings and mosaics. We return to Palermo for a guided tour of the town. Day 6 Palermo - Segesta - Trapani - Selinunte - Agrigento Our first stop today is Segesta for a guided tour including a visit to the fascinating Greek temple ruins. We then continue to the fishing port of Trapani. Lastly, at Selinunte we will be joined by a local guide to view the Greek archaeological site. We arrive early evening at the Hotel Baia di Ulisse (4T), where dinner is included. Day 7 Agrigento - Valley of the Temples - Piazza Armerina - Giardini Naxos We start our day with one of the highlights - a guided visit, including entrance, of the nearby Valley of the Temples. After time for lunch, we head east to Piazza Armerina for a guided tour of the Roman Villa. We stay at our hotel for the next three nights, the Sant Alphio Garden Hotel & Spa (4T) or similar. Day 8 Taormina This morning we visit the town centre of Taormina and include a visit to the Greek theatre and the Alcantara Gorge. Day 9 Mount Etna This morning we take a drive to the slopes of Etna. After a short walk, there will be free time available to explore this fascinating area. Later we visit Catina Murgo winery for a tasting of wine and local produce. Return to our hotel for a farewell dinner. Day 10 Giardini Naxos - Catania - London After breakfast, we transfer to Catania Airport for a direct, scheduled British Airways flight to London Gatwick Airport.
