Naples
Your journey begins in Naples, a city of remarkable history and vibrant character overlooking the deep blue waters of the Bay of Naples. Grand palaces, extraordinary art and a rich culinary tradition reveal the cultural heart of southern Italy.
Sorrento and The Amalfi Coast
Travelling south, the elegant town of Sorrento welcomes travellers with panoramic terraces, fragrant citrus groves and a timeless Mediterranean atmosphere.
From Sorrento, the journey follows the spectacular cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, one of the Mediterranean’s most celebrated landscapes. Along this legendary coastline, the villages of Positano, Amalfi and Ravello rise above the sea in a succession of colourful houses, historic villas and panoramic terraces overlooking the water.
Capri
A short sail from the Amalfi Coast, Capri has long captivated travellers with its effortless elegance and legendary Mediterranean charm. Whitewashed villas, fragrant gardens and panoramic terraces overlooking the sea create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication.
From the lively Piazzetta to the iconic Faraglioni, the island invites visitors to embrace its refined lifestyle — where leisurely strolls, elegant boutiques and long lunches overlooking the sea define the rhythm of the day.
Western Sicily
The journey then continues in Sicily, an island shaped by centuries of Greek, Roman, Arab and Norman cultures. In the vibrant city of Palermo, grand historic palaces, lively markets and extraordinary monuments reveal the island’s layered history, while the magnificent mosaics of nearby Monreale Cathedral stand among the most remarkable masterpieces of Norman art.
Along the northern coast, the seaside town of Cefalù offers a charming blend of medieval streets and Mediterranean views, before the journey continues through the landscapes of western Sicily — from the solitary Greek temple of Segesta to the hilltop village of Erice, overlooking the sea. Further south, the majestic temples of Agrigento rise above the countryside, creating one of the most extraordinary archaeological settings in the Mediterranean.
Roman Heritage and Baroque Towns of Southeastern Sicily
The journey leads first to the extraordinary Villa Romana del Casale, a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its magnificent Roman mosaics — among the finest preserved in the ancient world. These intricate scenes of daily life, mythology and hunting offer a remarkable glimpse into the sophistication of Roman Sicily.
From here, the landscapes of southeastern Sicily unfold through the elegant baroque towns of Ragusa, Scicli and Modica. Golden stone palaces, graceful churches and quiet piazzas reveal a world of timeless refinement, where centuries of art, culture and Sicilian traditions continue to shape the character of the region.
Syracuse and Noto
Few places in the Mediterranean capture the depth of Sicily’s history as powerfully as Syracuse, once one of the greatest cities of the ancient Greek world. In the Archaeological Park of Neapolis, the vast Greek theatre, the Latomie quarries and the famous Ear of Dionysius evoke the grandeur of classical antiquity.
Just beyond, the island of Ortigia reveals a different rhythm — elegant piazzas, baroque palaces and sea-washed promenades where centuries of history meet the relaxed elegance of contemporary Sicilian life.
A short drive inland, the town of Noto offers a striking contrast. Renowned for its harmonious baroque architecture, the city unfolds in a succession of graceful streets, grand staircases and sunlit facades, where the warm glow of local limestone gives the entire town a distinctive golden light.
Taormina and the Eastern Coast
Your journey concludes in Taormina, one of Sicily’s most enchanting destinations. Overlooking the Ionian Sea and framed by the silhouette of Mount Etna, the town combines breathtaking scenery with timeless Mediterranean elegance.
Nearby, the vibrant city of Catania — often called the city of lava — reveals another fascinating side of eastern Sicily. Built from dark volcanic stone and animated by lively markets, baroque architecture and a dynamic cultural scene, it offers a striking contrast to Taormina’s refined atmosphere.
Mt Etna and its Wine Region
In eastern Sicily, the dramatic landscapes of Mount Etna offer a completely different perspective of the island. Here, fertile volcanic soils give life to some of Italy’s most exciting wines. Private tastings and visits to boutique wineries reveal the unique character of Etna’s wine culture.
