On one of our waking holidays in Sicily, you'll discover a vibrant beauty fueled by the generous hearts of local people. The land is fed by fertile ash from Mount Etna, culminating in polished and classic beauty from the mountains and sea to the towns and ancient villages.
Sicily is a melting pot of cultural influences – Byzantine and Norman, Arabian and Spanish – still visible today in its architecture, cuisine, dialects, and rituals.
From the temples of Agrigento to the rugged Madonie, and the bustling markets of Palermo to the surreal Aeolian islands, Sicily is a land of contrasts. Discover our favorite tours below.
Hiking in Sicily takes you through beautiful landscapes and to the heart of its people. From the lively streets of Palermo to the ancient temples of Agrigento, you'll uncover pieces of the island's identity along the way.
In towns like Corleone and Prizzi, where the trail comes alive, you'll see how generations have embraced what makes Sicily special. Warm, generous hospitality plays an integral role in the community's renaissance.
Along with Lipari, Vulcano, Salina, Stromboli, and the fiery Sciara del Fuoco, Mount Etna takes you on a remarkable journey between sea and fire. Starting in Lipari and concluding at this iconic volcano, this hike reveals the very best of the Aeolian Islands.

The Madonie represent a different side of Sicily, where you'll discover sprawling countryside and hilltop villages. Here in this mountainous paradise, gardens, olive groves, and fertile orchards produce almonds, figs, and hazelnuts.

November also offers warm temperatures but fewer crowds. Summer can be extremely hot and often means busier towns, so it's not recommended for longer hiking tours.
