If you’re craving a mix of ancient ruins, vibrant markets, volcanic landscapes, and Mediterranean charm, this nine-day Sicily itinerary is for you. From the alleyways of Palermo to the sweeping valleys of Agrigento and the lava-sculpted beauty of Mount Etna, you’ll taste, stroll, and marvel at some of Italy’s most iconic sights. As always, I included some time on your own to really immerse yourself in each destination.

Plan a perfect 72-hour itinerary along Sicily’s east coast—Catania, Mt. Etna, Taormina, and Ortigia. Food tours, volcano adventures, ancient theaters, and coastal charm.
