Found no more than a 2-hour ferry ride apart, Sicily and Malta are close geographically but boast their own personalities, histories and flavours. From bold and volcanic to compact and golden, experience double the islands and double the magic on a 10-day Small Group Discovery tour with Globus. Sicily and Malta await!
Sicily
Full of sunshine-yellow citrus groves, ancient ruins of Greek temples, sleepy fishing villages, and sophisticated cities, Sicily is a diverse part of Italy. It’s renowned for being home to some of the friendliest locals so you’ll feel part of the family as soon as you step foot on the Mediterranean’s largest island. As you journey across Sicily, you’ll find historic influences from the Greeks, Arabs, Normans and Spanish throughout. To top it off, Sicily’s cuisine is divine – from comforting pasta alla Norma to the textural delight of a cannoli.
Malta
From the hustle and bustle of Sicily, settle into Malta and its relaxed vibe. She may be small but is certainly mighty. Malta tells much of its history through stone with golden walls that glow at sunset, narrow alleyways that lead to grand piazzas, and fortresses that rise above the sea. Two highlights are the city of Valletta, built by the Knights of St John and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site with palaces, churches and cafes to discover; and the Magalithic temples that pre-date the pyramids and are some of the earliest free-standing stone buildings in the world!
This holiday captures the true essence of Mediterranean island life. Both Sicily and Malta have histories marked by invasion and resilience, yet now celebrate life with food, festivals and hospitality. Join Globus on this Small Group Discovery Gems of Sicily and Malta tour.
