Spirit of Sicily: Sea, Soul, & Sun
October 14-24, 2026
This tour includes an optional extension to Pompeii and the Amalfi Coast.
It is full with an available waitlist and travelers often get off the waitlist so it is always worth signing up! This tour will also be repeated in April 2027.
Discover Sicily, where sun-drenched coastlines meet volcanic peaks and timeless villages. Explore 2,500-year-old Greek ruins at the Valley of the Temples; venture to Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano; and uncover a land steeped in history and culture. Travelers will experience bold flavors in a local cooking class, take off-the-beaten path visits to locals’ homes and olive groves, and soak in the natural beauty of Sicily by land and sea.
