      We currently have 5 spaces left. We do have a waitlist clients can be added to should they want an alternate date- September and October are both very popular dates and have sold-out. If space does become available we could add you to a different departure - However we just cannot guarantee space will become available.

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten March 2022

      On this trip we use different comfortable 3 and 4-star hotels, and occasionally comfortable B&Bs. Some hotels have been selected for their warm hospitality and typical Sicilian character and others for their convenient location close to the historic centres. All rooms have en suite facilities and Wi-fi and some hotels have a pool. We don't assist with airfare, so you will have to make your own way to Catania.
