Begin in Sicily visiting vibrant Palermo and ancient Siracusa. Spend time in the hilltop town of Taormina, where the White Lotus TV show was filmed. Explore Greek and Roman ruins, stroll lovely coastal towns, and marvel at Mt Etna’s dramatic landscapes.

Continue to Puglia, visiting Matera with its prehistoric cave homes, and the fairy-tale town of Alberobello with 1,400 trulli houses. Enjoy longer stays (three to four nights) in character-filled accommodations.

A highlight of the region is its food—sample local specialties and fine wines. Perfect for those who love history, Italian culture, and exploring at a relaxed pace, this tour is ideal whether you're new to the region or returning to experience more of Italy’s magic.
