The Etna volcano with its extreme viticulture, and picturesque Taormina, the fascinating Syracuse and its coast, and the Hyblean plateau with its amazing Baroque towns: Modica Ragusa and other small ones. No neeed to mention that you get to taste the best wines, and to match them with the unforgettable, savoury Sicilian cuisine. Last but not least, the specialty of this itinerary is that while we are around, we get the chance to see, and hear, the more picturesque, intense Holy Week celebrations. An unforgettable experience, that can be done ony once a year!
The Sicilian holy Week celebrations are a triumph of colours and music with their theatrical processions, statues and giant puppets, and with street bands behind them. It’s a chance to get an insight in the traditionally Mediterranean, Sicilian lifestyle, during this annuual spring rebirth ritual. The people’s partecipation is choral, heartfelt, everybody seems to be there, and is really engaging for us too. The small towns - Modica, Aidone, Scicli for example - are the more special, each one has its unique ceremony. The Sacred Representations in the streets are indeed an open air theatre, the atmosphere is solemn and familiar at once, and will involve, inevitably, the locals as the visitors.
As to the wine and food experiences, tasting fine Sicilian wines is our specialty: Nerello Mascalese, Nero d’Avola, Moscato, and Cerasuolo di Vittoria, just to mention the more classic ones. You will experience too, our more genuine, hand-picked trattorìe, restaurants and rustic country meals: a real slow-food style trip. In additio, in this particular tour, you get the unique chance of tasting some ritual specialties that are made only for Easter: "turrunari", “giuggiulena", "cubbaita", “cicirata", and “pignoccata”, you will se!
For all these reasons our Easter tour is definitely an experience that you’ll never forget. Contact us to get your cutom made trip and rate!
