    The first stop of the tour is the charming medieval village of Castelmola, which stands out from a hill 500 meters above sea level.
    Once home to an ancient Norman castle, today it is known to host one of the most unusual bars in the world: the Bar Turrisi!
    Authentic Sicilian landmark, built in 1947, today it is known for its unique decor. Here we will take a break to explore the cultural significance of the iconic phallic shapes used as bar decorations, a vibrant tribute to ancient Greek culture and a symbol of freedom, fertility and abundance.

    We will continue to the enchanting Florence Trevelyan Public Garden, a green oasis of exotic charm that belonged to an English noblewoman, linked to the court of Queen Victoria, who fled England because of a scandal that involved her.
    Afterwards, walking along Corso Umberto, the main street and ancient decumanus, you will be surrounded by elegant boutiques, lively cafes, picturesque alleys and historic buildings that guard the true essence of the city.
