Into active adventure tours? Here is a guided cultural hiking tour in Sicily this April with plenty of opportunities to experience the culture of the largest island in the Mediterranean. Here's the description from the tour's website:
On this cultural hiking adventure we’ll start with a visit to Segesta Archaeological Park en route to the enchanting, mountaintop medieval city of Erice, our first base. From Erice we’ll set out by van to hike in a lovely coastal nature preserve. We’ll then transfer to the quaint Madonie Mountains, where our base will be a luxury hotel in a former abbey surrounded by olive groves and a vineyard. Here we’ll hike among giant holly trees up to dramatic vistas, and will also visit the port city of Cefalù with its ancient alleyways and dramatic Rocca towering over the town, which we’ll ascend. We’ll wind up this amazing adventure with a stay in Taormina, the cliff top mediaeval city with views of Mount Etna, the highest volcano in Europe. We’ll visit the Greek theater and Taormina’s many piazzas and palazzos, and hike to the hilltop village of Castemola. On the last day we’ll hike on Mount Etna, Sicily’s greatest natural attraction. We hope you will join us on this travel event in Sicily, a world apart!
Cost is $3200 per person double occupancy with 4-7 participants, $3000 with 8-10 participants. Just $375 for a single supplement. Trip begins in Palermo and ends in Catania, with 6 overnights in historic hotels in dramatic and beautiful settings, all meals, and an English-speaking hiking guide. Moderate difficulty with 3-8 miles of hiking per day.
