You will be responsible for your own transfer from the airport to the hotel in Castellammare. Taxis can be found once you exit the terminal.

After arriving at your accommodations (Punta Nord Est), you will have time to relax and unwind. Later that evening, we will have “Un Benvenuto“.  Then you may explore this fascinating town on your own.

This morning we will meet at 9:00 am to spend a beautiful day at La Playa beach with stunning crystal-clear waters. (lounge chairs and umbrellas are included). After lunch (on your own), you may choose from 2 departures 1 pm or 5 pm to return to Castellammare to your accommodation in town. This evening we will embark on a very special sightseeing tour of this amazing coastline of the Mediterranean Sea to the Faraglioni di Scopello for a photo opportunity (where Ocean 11 was filmed). Then we will stop at the Belvedere to enjoy a traditional wood oven pizza, with breathtaking views of the gulf.

Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner

This morning at 9 am you will meet our English-speaking local tour guide for a sightseeing tour of Palermo, the capital of Sicily. Your stops will include Palermo Cathedral, Casa Professa, Quattro Canti, Piazza Pretoria (where the famous fashion show of Dolce and Gabbana was held), Mercato del Capo, Teatro Politeama, and Theatro Massimo, (second largest stages in Europe and the famed opera houses.) After the tour you will have the opportunity to try some typical Sicilian Street food and have time to shop. Back to Castellammare, this evening we will meet for dinner at this authentic local restaurant with a beautiful view of the marina, while we savor a delicious Sicilian multi course meal with local wines  included.

We will meet at 9am (weather permitting) at the marina for a spectacular boat excursion along the northwestern coastline of Sicily. You will have the opportunity to jump off the boat and swim at Scopello, and into the caves of Lo Zingaro Riserva Naturale. Scopello is famous for it’s vertiginous “Faraglioni” or rock formation, where Hollywood filmed Ocean twelve, and for one of the most ancient tuna fisheries in Sicily. Back to Castellammare at 1:30pm. Your evening is at your leisure.
