About This Trip

For such tiny islands, Sicily and Malta have a huge role in the history of the world. Sicily was at one point the crossroads of the world, a land conquered and re-conquered which has left it with a unique culture and heritage. Both islands have been conquered by Italy, Greece, Byzantine, French and Spanish invaders, not to mention having a strong trading route with North Africa and the Middle East, these islands have seen it all.  

 

Because of this, both islands wear the impressive scars of these conquests in their buildings, their cuisine and their culture, one that is rich and welcoming. On this in-depth trip around these two incredible islands, you will be guided by local experts who will bring the history to life in front of you. Visiting 11 wildly different UNESCO World Heritage Sites, you will explore the dynamic history, visit the most beautiful Greek temples outside of Greece, and explore the dominating presence of volcanic Mt Etna. 

 

All of these man made wonders are wrapped in the most glorious scenery, from snaking, wild coastlines to verdant, rolling hills in Sicily, to enchanting grottos and sun-baked lunar landscapes in Malta. And it is not all about the history on this phenomenal tour, we will also immerse you in the vibrant culture of both of these islands, visiting towns and cities, sampling local wines, cheeses, breads and sumptuous street foods. 

 

This tour is a true trip through time and one that will stay with you forever.

highlights

Honestly, we just wanted to create a tour to get under the skin of these two islands. While, quite rightly, people flock to them for their incredible beaches and sun-soaked towns, there is such incredible depth to these Mediterranean jewels that we wanted to help you explore them in every detail. 

 

Just witnessing these towns, cities and their historical UNESCO World Heritage sites is incredible, but we wanted to make sure you saw them in context, so we have arranged for an expert guide to accompany you right through your time here, painting the picture for you and bringing the past to life. The story of these islands is like nothing else and is well worth hearing. Your wonderful guides also know a few people on these islands worth knowing, people who make the most delicious local specialities, like Marsala wine, famous Sicilian honey and outstanding chocolate, so you will get to see first-hand why the foods of Sicily are so renowned.
