Carpe Diem Tours Visits Malta & Sicily

For our 2023 Cultural Tour, Carpe Diem Tours proudly announces a return to the Mediterranean with a visit to MALTA and SICILY. Nestling near the toe of Italy, these two islands offer a plethora of cultural and historical experiences. We will be based in the 4* Waterfront Hotel in Sliema in Malta. From there we will visit the capital of Malta, its sister island Gozo, Modina, Rabat and Mosta and a half-day tour to the Blue Grotto. In Sicily, our base will be Hotel Montreal. From there, we will visit ‘Val di Noto’ UNESCO human heritage sites, Piazza Armerina and Caltagirone with their Roman remains and finally Siracusa and Noto with its majestic Cathedral.
