Explore the genuine and undiscovered side of Sicily with our private tour around the Sicani mountain range. Our journey begins in Lercara Friddi, the birthplace of Frank Sinatra’s father. Here, we’ll explore the Mother Church and its singular compilation of a thousand nativity scenes. We then head to Prizzi, a medieval hamlet that will transport you to a bygone era, and Palazzo Adriano, known for its cultural diversity and its place as the filming location for the Academy Award-winning movie ‘New Cinema Paradiso’.
Next, we’ll guide you to the Hermitage of Santa Rosalia alla Quisquina, an intensely spiritual site nestled amongst the trees, and to San Giovanni Gemini.
