Day 1

Day 2
EXPLORING THROUGH THE STREETS OF AGRIGENTO | Follow your expert local guide up and down the narrow streets of Agrigento, among medieval and Arab-Norman buildings. Discover curious anecdotes and the city’s ancient roots while gazing at the natural and architectural wonders at the foot of the hill where its centre stands. Your walk will deliver a perfect mix of cultural highlights and tastes as you will take breaks to try the tempting Sicilian street food.
Day 3
THE VALLEY OF THE TEMPLES | Step back in time for a day and let the splendour of Ancient Greece surround you. Imagine ancient ruins popping up among the wonderful Sicilian countryside: our local guide accompanies you along an interesting guided tour to see the most beautiful buildings and explore their history.
Day 4
LEARN HOW TO COOK SICILIAN DISHES | A day dedicated to slow food and cooking: an amiable friend teaches you how to cook traditional “granny” food with a lot of fun. This experience gives you the ideal balance of cooking secrets and entertainment, as well as the best souvenir you could ever take back home: a new dish to share with the ones you love, whenever you want to.
Day 5
SICANI MOUNTAINS | You will magically find yourself in an ancient Sicilian village on the slopes of Sicanian mountains. In this old village, there will be no shortage of extraordinary people to meet. You will get to know shepherds and cheesemakers and to visit a typical bakery. And then, continuing further up in the mountains visiting organic farms. Sometimes encounters like these can change the perspective on life. (In October, you could also take part to the olive harvest experience!)
Day 6
PALERMO | TAKE IT EASY AND ENJOY YOUR FREE TIME | Enjoy the view while you reach your accommodation in Palermo.
Day 7
EXPLORING PALERMO | You will meet your local guide and start walking through the maze that is Palermo city center. Explore the narrow streets and alleys strolling by wonderful squares and open-air markets while your new local friend enchants you with the wonders of the city. The best way to visit Palermo in on foot, and you will stop for tastings of the best street food the city has to offer.
