Experience the best of Sicily combining classical history and geographical sites, the perfect cross-curricular trip. Students can visit active volcanoes and Greek and Roman-era archaeological sites, including Giardini Naxos & Taormina.
The island of Sicily combines the best of Classics and Geography, offering students a truly unforgettable experience.
Beginning in Giardini Naxos, students explore the remains of one of Sicily’s earliest Greek settlements at Parco Archeologico di Naxos, before discovering the spectacular Teatro Antico di Taormina, a stunning reminder of the island’s ancient Greek and Roman heritage.
Sicily’s landscapes also provide exceptional opportunities for geographical study. Students can witness the lunar-like terrain of Mount Etna, one of Europe’s highest and most active volcanoes, hike to the crater on Vulcano and explore the dramatic basalt lava formations of Gole dell'Alcantara.
You'll be well supported throughout your trip. Our local agent will meet you at the airport, check you into your hotel, and accompany your group each day on your Sicilian adventure.
This is a sample of what we offer in Sicily. Talk to one of our Italy specialists to organise your bespoke tour.
The Archaeological Park of Naxos stands on the site of the first Greek colony in Sicily, founded in 735 BC. Students can explore the remains of the ancient settlement and defensive walls, before discovering artefacts from the excavations at the nearby museum.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Mount Etna is Europe’s highest active volcano and a must-see for Geography students! Led by a specialist guide, walk up the mountain and explore the Silvestri Craters below, where you can find active craters and lava flows to observe how volcanic activity shapes the landscape.
Travel by hydrofoil to Vulcano Island and take a guided trek up Gran Cratere, which allows students to observe active sulfur vents and steam clouds. This visit is a once in a lifetime experience, offering insight into volcanic processes and the island’s unique landscape.
