Escape to Sicily

Dazzling Mediterranean waters, rugged volcanic landscapes, an inescapable ancient history and one of the most enjoyable cuisines in the world. Explore one of Europe's most picturesque islands on our disabled friendly Escape to Sicily Tour.

Holiday Overview

The largest island in the Mediterranean, Sicily's position at the toe of the Italian boot and the heart of Eurafrican trading routes means that it's been coveted and claimed by every major empire since man took to the water. The result is a thrillingly unique culture and a long and fascinating history that encompasses the Phoenicians, Romans, Carthaginians, Vandals, Romans and Greeks. While undoubtedly a part of the modern Italian nation, it's certainly true that Sicily often seems much further from the mainland than the narrow Strait of Messina would suggest.

On your accessible Sicilian holiday, you'll enjoy plenty of time to make the most of the beautiful climate and your hotel's wonderful, accessible facilities. However, we've also organised a diverse array of excursions to ensure you're able to see all this beautiful island has to offer.

As well as exploring the picturesque cities of Syracuse and Modica, you'll visit the accessible beach at Pozzallo. A cookery class with a local chef will give you the skills you need to prepare a Sicilian feast, while a day trip to tour Mt Etna will blow you away. Finally, a BBQ and a performance by a traditional Sicilian Folk Choir will bring the holiday to a perfect end.

Your accessible Sicily hotel has been hand-picked by the Limitless Team for its superb location and excellent disabled facilities. A Limitless Travel representative will accompany the tour group throughout the holiday, providing assistance whenever required and ensuring you receive the support you need.

The Itinerary

Day 1 - Travel and Settling In

The journey begins! Today, you’ll meet our support team at the airport. We’re there to ensure your flight is as smooth and hassle-free as possible, so don’t hesitate to ask for assistance or support if you require it. On arrival in Italy, we’ll board our accessible transfer vehicle and head to your beautiful four-star hotel near Modica. The Limitless Team will help you check-in and get your bags to your room, before a delicious three-course evening meal is served.

Day 2 - Local Town of Pozzallo & Accessible Beach

< >

We’ll kick off your first full day with a relaxing morning at the hotel, followed by an authentic Sicilian lunch. Later, we’ll make our way to Pozzallo, a seaside town that was one of the island’s most important ports and has strong historical links with nearby Malta. There, we’ll spend the afternoon on the town’s excellent wheelchair-accessible beach. Pozzallo also features a wonderful promenade that’s lined with authentic gelato stands. It doesn’t get much more refreshing than a real Italian gelato, so we understand if you need to cool off with a couple (or more!) of ice-cold treats during the day. As evening approaches, we’ll settle in at one of the town’s beachfront restaurants to watch the sunset.

Day 3 - Syracuse - the Most Beautiful City in Sicily

< >

Today, we’ll visit the most beautiful city in Sicily, if not the whole of Italy - Syracuse. Once the largest city in the ancient world, it’s now a charming and atmospheric collection of Greek ruins, baroque piazzas and winding streets. We’ll spend the day exploring the city and visiting the sensational Duomo, one of the finest pieces of architecture in Europe. Built upon the ruins of an ancient Greek temple, its 18th-century facade enchants and delights, ensuring you leave astounded. To ensure you have the time to take it all in properly, we’ll stop for a cappuccino in the vibrant Piazza Duomo.

Day 4 - Sicilian Cooking Class

< >

On Day Four, we’ll spend the morning topping up those tans and taking a dip in the hotel’s accessible swimming pool. In the afternoon, you’ll get to grips with Sicilian cuisine under the tutelage of a master local chef. Your cookery class will take place in the hotel and will cover all you need to know to prepare an authentic meal. As the island is renowned for its fantastic food, this is a great opportunity to pick up some tips, tricks and traditional dishes to impress friends and family back at home.

Day 5 - Explosive Trip to Mount Etna

< >

Mount Etna has always played a central role in Sicilian culture. In ancient mythology, Zeus trapped a wicked monster beneath the volcano. Now, Etna is often represented as a benevolent old lady looking after the island by offering it water, shade and fertile soil. Some chefs even claim Etna is the inspiration for one of Italy’s most famous dishes, pasta alla norma. The aubergine is its soil, the tomato its lava, the basil its greenery and the ricotta its snow. Today, we’ll be touring the volcano, which is the tallest in Europe and one of the most active in the world. You’ll enjoy a guided bus tour of its slopes with onboard commentary from an experienced local guide. You won’t forget today’s excursion any time soon!

Day 6 - Visit Modica - an Ancient City

< >

After another morning making the most of the beautiful climate and brilliant hotel facilities (today might be a good day to book yourself in for a spa treatment!), we’ll make our way to the ancient city of Modica. Tucked away in the south of the island, this is one of Sicily’s most interesting and enjoyable destinations and boasts a reputation for making the finest chocolate in the Mediterranean. During our visit, we’ll explore the streets and piazzas, watch a chocolate-making demonstration and sample more than 10 different varieties.

Day 7 - BBQ & Sicilian Folk Night

< >

On your final full day on the island, we’ll relax by the pool, enjoy the company of your wonderful travel companions and make the most of your last moments in paradise. Later in the day, we’ll celebrate a superb holiday with a feast of a BBQ and local music, dances and theatre performed by an authentic Sicilian Folk Choir.

Day 8 - Until Next Time

Today, your accessible Sicily Tour comes to an end. After a satisfying breakfast, the Limitless Team will help you transfer to the airport and board your flight. Then it’s time to head back home! Now, all that’s left to do is say farewell to new friends and plan your next Limitless adventure!
