Active Sicily
Multi-active Sicilian Adventure
Travel with us on a family holiday to beautiful Sicily, an island that offers adventure with a rich cultural and historical backdrop. This active, twin-centre trip blends cycling, walking and swimming in places of natural beauty with the cultural highlights of Palermo and Taormina. There is also time to relax along the way, perhaps by the pool of our comfortable hotels where we also enjoy typical Sicilan cuisine (all dinners included). You even have the chance to learn how to prepare pizza and eat your work!
