Journeys into the soul of Sicily
Turismo esperienziale
in Sicilia
Discover Sicily through its people: artisans, producers and the keepers of family stories and traditions. Join me for guided visits and tailor-made experiences across the island, with a particular focus on eastern Sicily.
Sicily through its people
Il viaggio diventa
connessione.
Step into an artisan’s workshop, cook a family recipe or walk through vineyards with the people who tend them. Experiential travel in Sicily begins with these encounters: people, skills and places that bring you closer to island life.
With Getting Around Sicily, each itinerary is shaped around your interests, giving you time to discover, take part and feel connected to the stories you encounter.
Our collection of encounters

Sicilian food and culture
Una cucina,
una storia da condividere.

Sicilian crafts and traditions
Saperi che passano
di mano in mano.

Nature and walking in Sicily
Il paesaggio
si scopre a piedi.
Walk through Sicily’s trails, volcanic landscapes and countryside, with time to look and listen. Guided walks, particularly in eastern Sicily, introduce you to nature and the stories of the places along the way.
