Colours of Sicily highlights the many natural wonders and cultural treasures that excite visitors to this spectacular and largest island of the Mediterranean. Surrounded by amazing pristine beaches and cliffside villages, Sicily is full of historic towns with an abundance of ancient architectural gems, churches and museums. Many of these sites are recognised for their historical significance by UNESCO such as Ragusa, Siracusa and Agrigento.
The iconic landmark of Mt Etna is also one of the highlights of this tour, sitting at over 3000mt, often erupting or spitting lava, ash and black cloud. With its white snow caps and numerous lava bumps, the panoramic views are unparalleled with many renowned wineries that have their grapes nestled along the sides of the mountain.
Sicily has maintained its authenticity. The cuisine is genuine and delicious with its fresh and seasonal products from each part of the island. Your will experience seafood specialties, arancini, cannoli and great local wines.
This tour is guided by the directors of Vita Italian Tours and their team of local experts. Your tour leaders will escort you throughout your stay and will ensure you have a wonderful experience.

Our guests say it all
Aeolian Islands: You may wish to extend your trip for an extra all-day excursion to the famed Aeolian Islands. The port of Milazzo will be the first stop to catch a private ferry to the island of Lipari, the largest island and gateway to the Aeolian Archipelago. You will explore the narrow streets and shops of Lipari town. The ferry will then allow you to reach the island of Vulcano, the second most active volcano of the Archipelago. You may wish to have a swim in the naturally warm spiaggia dell’aqua calda thanks to the underwater geysers fuelled by volcanic activity. The tour returns to Taormina in the late afternoon.
Malta: Many choose to extend their Mediterranean experience from Sicily to the fascinating island of Malta. We can organise an all-inclusive package including ferry/airfares, accommodation and private guided tours to all the sites such as Medina, Gozo & The Three Cities. There are 2, 3 & 4-day packages available.
The weather: it is nearing the end of spring. It can get warm during the day however the evenings are cool. We recommend light, comfortable clothing, a light jacket with your favourite walking shoes. We do not place age limitations on the tour and welcome anyone with a moderate level of physical fitness. It is important to note that the countryside is undulating and hilly. Many hill-towns have their historical centres closed to traffic and therefore lots of walking is required. Be expected to spend a few hours a day at a time on your feet with breaks for sightseeing, coffee and a taste of the local produce.
