14 September - 01 October 2025

Welcome to ‘A Tale of Two Islands’, where Travelling Divas will take you on an in depth exploration of these two magical islands: Malta & Sicily!

Your adventure begins in Malta, a destination where the echoes of 7,000 years of history whisper through its sun-kissed landscapes. Picture yourself wandering through the charming streets of Valletta, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where baroque architecture meets the azure sea. Each corner reveals a story, a moment in time where ancient civilisations—from the Phoenicians to the Knights of St. John—have left their mark.

In the ancient capital of Mdina, you’ll stroll along cobblestone paths that have witnessed the passage of time and be captivated by the stunning views that stretch across the island.

A short ferry ride will transport you to Gozo, where the ancient Citadel invites you to explore its historic walls. Discover hidden gems as you wander the quaint lanes, and immerse yourself in the rich culture at the modern Cathedral Museum. For a truly unforgettable experience, you’ll set sail on a private catamaran, gliding over crystal-clear waters that surround this idyllic island.

Then, prepare to be captivated by Sicily—an island of contrasts where rugged coastlines meet pristine beaches. This island is a tapestry of cultures, where every corner reveals a new adventure. Beyond the popular destinations of Taormina and Palermo, uncover the hidden beauty of Ortigia in Siracusa, or lose yourself in the charming hilltop towns of the southeastern coast and into the centre of the island.

Sicily’s culinary scene is a vibrant celebration of flavours, best discovered in lively open-air markets. Savour the rich history of street food, from the irresistible arancini to the beloved sfincione, each bite a testament to the island’s diverse heritage.

As you explore, you’ll find that Sicily’s cuisine is a delightful fusion of influences—couscous from North Africa, raisins from Persia, and a bounty of local ingredients like pistachios and olives, all coming together to create dishes that tell the story of this extraordinary land.

Join Travelling Divas on this luxurious journey through Malta and Sicily, where every moment is an invitation to indulge in breathtaking beauty, rich culture, and unforgettable culinary delights. Let the magic of these two islands take you on a journey that will stay with you for a lifetime.
