Itinerary

Day 1 Welcome to Palermo!

"Benvenuti in Sicilia"! Pick up your rental car at the airport and drive to Sciacca. Once you arrive at the resort, settle in by unpacking and taking a moment to explore your surroundings.

Take the opportunity to unwind by the resort's indoor or outdoor pool with a refreshing cocktail. Then, enjoy a delicious dinner at one of the on-site restaurants.

Day 2 Sciacca

After breakfast, take advantage of all the things offered at the hotel! Relax at the resort's private beach, basking in the sun with a good book and letting the sound of the ocean's waves relax you. This afternoon, grab lunch at the on-site restaurant of your c...

Day 3 Sciacca

Consider spending the day exploring the water activities the resort has to offer. You can choose from a great selection of water sports such as windsurfing or canoeing, all under the supervision of a professional.

You may also want to visit the resort's indoor gym or take part in a game of ping pong before having a delicious dinner on the outdoor terrace.

Day 4 Sciacca

Today is a great day to use your rental car for a day trip! Just about 30 minutes away is Caltabellotta, a quaint medieval town perched atop Mount Kratus. Here you can explore the unique Norman Castle ruins, marvel at spectacular mountain views, and stop by local restaurants for delicious cuisine.

Day 5 Sciacca

Craving more adventure? Dive into the local experiences the resort has to offer - like embarking on a day of discovery with an expert mountain guide as you explore Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe.
