Day 5

sicily (palermo),italy

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Life in Palermo is vibrant. The city is densely packed with people and buildings, and the bustling markets make the narrow sidewalks difficult to navigate. Amidst the narrow, impoverished streets, lush gardens flourish, and hanging laundry mimics the colorful banners of a public celebration. Take a leisurely walk along Via Roma up to Corso Vittorio Emanuele, taking in the sights of the squares and the grand cathedral. The Palazzo dei Normani is a remarkable blend of architectural styles, with its Byzantine mosaics serving as a testament to the city's Golden Age. Just around the corner, the ruins of the Church of San Giovanni degli Eremiti stand, its pink domes protecting a unique cloister garden. The National Gallery of Sicily, located in the Palazzo Abatellis, boasts an impressive collection of paintings and sculptures. In the mornings, be sure to visit the expansive open-air Capo market. Most of Palermo's nightlife can be found in the beach district of Mondello, where you can join the throngs of young Italians enjoying seafood from seaside food stalls and indulging in gelato.

Day 6

valletta, malta

Arrival: 10:00 - Departure: 19:00

The small capital of Malta, Valletta, is less than 1 square kilometer in size but offers a wealth of experiences for tourists. Known as one of the most densely packed historical sites in the world, Valletta boasts 7,000 years of history. It's no surprise that the city was officially designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980. Constructed by the Knights of St John in the 16th and 17th centuries for military and strategic purposes, Valletta was later transformed into a stunning example of baroque decorative art, particularly evident in the beautiful interiors of St John’s Co-Cathedral in the city center. The city's narrow, shady alleyways connect grand squares, and magnificent palaces coexist with bars and shops. Recently, Valletta has undergone significant changes to enhance its urban appeal, including the renovation of the main City Gate, the construction of a new parliament building, and the restoration of the bombed-out Opera House. Valletta's natural deep-water port, the Grand Harbour, is the largest and most impressive in the Mediterranean. For thousands of years, it has been the hub of Malta’s maritime activity. Evidence of this includes the 19 historical warehouses that still stand, dating back 250 years, and the historic Quay Wall, where the Knights of St John and European merchants once unloaded their goods. The Valletta Waterfront serves as the entrance to Malta’s capital city. As one of the most successful Mediterranean ports, the Port of Valletta welcomes over half a million cruise passengers into this open-air museum each year. The waterfront has recently been revitalized into a lively hub of shops, bars, and restaurants, and is especially romantic when lit up at night. The city’s moderate climate allows for a variety of outdoor activities, from diving and sailing to cycling and rock climbing, providing plenty of options for adventure-seeking tourists. However, don't expect Valletta to be bustling all night - its tranquility is a significant part of its allure.

Day 7

catania,sicily,italy

Arrival: 07:00 - Departure: 17:00

Catania is the second largest city in Sicily. It has been buried seven times due to violent eruptions from the Etna volcano and numerous earthquakes, resulting in the destruction of many of its monuments. However, the old town has been well preserved, to the extent that it was designated a World Heritage Site in 2002. Visitors to the city center can appreciate the city's main feature: its baroque architecture. The primary examples of this are the Cathedral Square, Piazza del Duomo, with the Elephant Fountain, the ornate Cathedral, which was founded in the 11th century on the ruins of ancient baths, and the impressive 13th century Ursino Castle. The remnants of the city's Roman and Greek heritage can still be seen at the former Acropolis of Katane, which includes the Roman Theatre, built by the Greeks and rebuilt by the Romans, the Odeon, and the Amphitheatre. Catania's nightlife is chaotic, loud, and lively, with hundreds of bars, clubs, and restaurants available for visitors to experience the city's infectious zest for life.
