Seductively beautiful and perfectly placed in the heart of the Mediterranean, Sicily has been luring passersby since the time of legends. The land of the Cyclops has been praised by poets from Homer to Virgil and prized by the many ancient cultures – Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Elymians, Romans and Greeks – whose bones lie buried here. Whether in the classical perfection of Agrigento's Concordia temple, the monumental rubble of Selinunte's columns or the rare grace of a dancing satyr statue rescued from Mazara del Vallo's watery depths, reminders of bygone civilisations are everywhere.

Sicily's varied landscape makes a dramatic first impression. Fly into Catania and the smoking hulk of Etna greets you; arrive in Palermo and it's the sparkling Golfo di Castellammare. This juxtaposition of sea, volcano and mountain scenery makes a stunning backdrop for sailing.

Some Highlights

Stromboli

The stunning silhouette of the tip of  the Stroboli Volcano will appear out of the blue haze as we approach the island. Some would say this is one of the most bewitching of the Islands, they call it the lighthouse of the Aeolian Islands.

Salina

In stark contrast to the exposed volcanic terrain of the other Aeolian Islands, Salina boasts a lush, verdant landscape. Woodlands, wildflowers, thick yellow gorse bushes and serried ranks of grape vines carpet its hillsides in vibrant colours and cool greens, while high coastal cliffs plunge into the breaking waters below. 

Vulcano​

Vulcano's volcanic nature has long been impressing visitors – the ancient Romans believed it to be the chimney of the fire god Vulcan's workshop and the island is today celebrated for its therapeutic mud baths and hot springs. So after we are relaxed from a day at the springs, we will fill ourselves with a hearty, proper Italian meal.

Once we have this, we will build you a private, individually tailored webpage with all the details you require such as how to get there, what to bring, the costs etc. We will then work with you to take all the admin and stress away to build you one of the most memorable holidays you've ever had.
