Top Sicily Carnival

Learn to cook delicious Sicilian specialties in a warm and welcoming setting, just steps from the beach and the sea, guided by a professional chef. This experience will make your Sicilian holiday truly unforgettable, letting you savor the authentic flavors and aromas of the island. Begin with a visit to a small local market in Taormina, where you’ll discover fresh, seasonal ingredients and immerse yourself in the vibrant local atmosphere. Then, prepare and enjoy traditional Sicilian dishes with your own hands. Discover ingredients carefully combined to create dishes that are never repetitive and always full of surprises: from the taste of the sea and the mountains, to the sweetness of almonds and ricotta, to the rich flavors of Sicilian olive oil and fresh local produce. Every dish tells the story of the region’s vibrant culinary tradition.

Discover some of Sicily's most stunning underwater scenery during this small-group snorkeling tour, with masks and equipment included. Sail comfortably from the port of Giardini Naxos, enjoying views of the Taormina coastline and iconic Etna volcano. Then, visit two pristine snorkeling locations: a protected marine reserve and a colorful, fish-filled bay, with a pre-activity orientation.

Discover three different Sicilian wineries as you sample tasty regional reds, whites, and rosés. Driving in an air-conditioned car, cruise past picturesque villages, fruit orchards, and lava-made churches as you explore the fascinating region of Etna, known for its volcanic terroirs. Sip samples of the volcano-infused drink in family-run wineries, munching on local gastronomic delicacies, from cheeses to salami.
