This trip combines lovely moments while being surrounded by Sicilian rural areas and olive orchards. All set in a delightful location. Taste local Olive Oil plus a journey back in time where the Greeks left a unique heritage.

Sicily has the perfect places to breathe the tranquility of the real rural Sicily of centuries past. The island is renowned for the many outstanding olive oils. Some of them produced in this area (south of Palermo). Which is famous for a great wine and olive oil production. But also for the soft hilly landscape and pleasant sandy beaches.
