Experience Sicilian food, culture and nature <\/strong><\/h1>\n

If a holiday in Sicily<\/a> has been on your radar for a while, you\u2019ll already know how much there is to do. Long lists of ancient temples, baroque churches and Roman amphitheatres trip off the tongue and before you know it, you\u2019re feeling stressed about how you\u2019re going to fit everything into a mere week on the island!<\/p>\n

But what about activities that don\u2019t involve traditional sightseeing? It seems that while many visitors may not necessarily want to delve back into ancient history, they may equally want to do something other than flop on the nearest beach or by the pool. In fact, from what we can see, our guests love getting busy! What\u2019s also clear is that most of us love the idea of someone else making those arrangements for us, particularly when we\u2019re on holiday. Which is where we step in.<\/p>\n

These are a few of our guests\u2019 favourite experiences:<\/p>\n

Street food tours<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It seems that even visitors who aren\u2019t totally food-obsessed before their holiday soon get into the swing of things! Top of the foodie activities is a street food tour<\/a> in Palermo which serves as a wonderfully tasty introduction to Sicily. Palermo regularly hits the top of the charts when it comes to best world cities for street food. Weave your way past hideaway stalls and kiosks in the Vucciria market, sampling arancini, cazilli (potato croquettes) and sfincione (Sicilian-style pizza) as you go, then head off the main trail with your guide to explore hidden squares and other local sights.<\/p>\n
