After you’ve experienced your fill of seashores and vineyards, on Contiki’s Serious Sicily vacation, you’ll be a part of up with a area tutorial in entrance of the opulent Teatro Massimo, a single of the most jaw-dropping opera houses in Europe. Snaking as a result of the historic centre, you will meet all of the organization proprietors who have bravely united in opposition to the Mafia protection rackets.
At every single halt you are going to learn about how this inspiring civic motion originally formed: with hoteliers, farmers, and cafe proprietors staring down Mafioso society and indicating: “Enough”. (And bear in mind, as this is a MAKE Vacation MATTER® working experience, you are going to be supporting the Anti-Mafia movement economically by way of Contiki, in alignment with the 11 plans of our sustainability system).
From confiscated Mafia HQs turned into instructional group centres, to moving avenue artwork that paperwork the Anti-Mafia motion, this tour is not just about organised criminal offense, but the pretty soul of Sicily: crammed with attractiveness, culture, defiance and really, incredibly superior foodstuff. Make sure you halt by Antica Focacceria at the finish of the tour (just one of Palermo’s oldest eateries and a notable Anti-Mafia institution), and you’ll get a scrumptious thought of what we imply.
