In this Newsletter: Incentives and meetings in CATANIA Something special at SICILY Group travel: 8/10 days 'Alternative Sicily' Contacts

Incentives and meetings in CATANIA Catania, 2nd city of Sicily, at the foot of the Etna, presents itself as a perfect operating base for your incentive-programme. Thanks to the availability of class hotels, having modern meeting and conference infrastructure at their disposal and the proximity of several top attractions, Alternative Sicily can elaborate for you a tailor-made meeting- and incentive-programme. In addition to this, the Etna represents certainly a highlight to defy with a 4x4, quad or mountain bike or to be admired from the sky by helicopter or water plane. Moreover, a gala diner at the magnificent Palazzo Biscari, a city game through the historic centre and at the local fish market La Pescheria, a show in the traditional puppet theatre (possibly with a teambuilding activity) or an excursion by FIAT 500 .... Something for everybody. End the days with a fantastic dinner in a local trattoria or a class restaurant. And finally : the centre of Catania knows a dazzling nightlife, so a cocktail after dinner in a cosy pub is certainly a must.

Something special at SICILY Our experience and continuous search for something new and surprising delivered us an extensive database to make your MICE-event succeed. Only a few examples: - tour by private train of 1958, specially rented for the group, with crew in authentic outfit - flight by water plane over the nearby curiosities - theme-night 'the godfather' in the villa used for filming these cult films - pizza-workshop with the pretext ‘the more flower, the better' - scooter tour on the Aeolian island of Salina - picnic and wine tasting with a professional sommelier on the Etna - explore the Etna by burrow - hydrospeed, canyoning or river trekking in the Alcantara river

Group travel: 8/10 days 'Alternative Sicily' Do you plan a group travel to Sicily or you want to offer something special to your clients besides the principal curiosities ? Then, we recommend wholeheartedly the programme '8/10 days Alternative Sicily'. Musts to visit : a visit to Syracuse - Ragusa - Piazza Armerina - Agrigento - Taormina and Palermo or Catania. A visit to the tuna-fishing village of Marzamemi guided by the granddaughter of the last 'rais' (leader of the tuna fisher) is quite an experience, next to the little chocolate lab in the splendid baroque city of Modica, a visit of a cheese maker near Ragusa at dawn (ricotta-cheese and Ragusano DOP) or the traditional bell founder in the mountain village of Burgio. Or even more : 'Pantalica' - the canyon and the largest necropolis in Europe, the ‘ghost’town of Poggioreale or the work of art 'il Cretto di Buri' on the street plan of Gibellina (both villages were completely destroyed due to the earthquake of 1968) or the production of sundried cherry tomatoes. Your clients will most definitely leave this beautiful Mediterranean island with a sense of 'Alternative Sicily'.
