🌅 Welcome to “Old World Sicily & Malta” with the Golden Girls

One of the many perks of traveling with our group is the included private sedan service—a luxurious and stress-free way to start (and end) your journey.

Here’s how it works for Golden Girls Getaways group travelers:

For the main departure city or "primary gateway" airport, we’ll enjoy one complimentary pickup within 100 miles of the airport. That means you won't have to park your car at the airport and incur parking expenses, nor will you have to ask someone for a ride to the airport. We'll just meet at the pickup location and be driven to the airport.

Any additional gateway city gets ONE pickup within a 50 mile radius. That means if you're the only one who is leaving from a particular airport, and you live within 50 miles of that airport you'll get picked up at your door and delivered to the airport.

If we have multiple people leaving from the same alternate gateway city, they would meet up within 50 miles of the airport and be driven together.

This will be the same for our return flights.

Double Room $6,499pp

Single Room $7,299pp

These aren’t your typical sightseeing stops—they’re soul-stirring, sense-awakening experiences that will stay with you long after you’ve returned home. Each excursion on this Golden Girls Getaway is thoughtfully chosen to immerse you in the culture, beauty, and spirit of Sicily and Malta.

Step aboard a traditional Maltese dgħajsa—a graceful, handcrafted boat—and glide past centuries-old fortresses, sunlit domes, and honey-hued city walls. The breeze off the sea, the sound of waves lapping gently against the hull, and the breathtaking views of Valletta’s skyline will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a living postcard.

Journey into the Marsala region, where rolling vineyards and sun-baked hills welcome you to a cozy, centuries-old wine cellar. Here, you’ll swirl, sip, and savor the region’s legendary dessert wine, paired with delicious local bites—and even better stories.

Mount Etna isn’t just a volcano—it’s a force of nature. You’ll hop into a 4x4 for an off-road adventure across black lava fields and otherworldly landscapes. The views stretch for miles, the air is cool and crisp, and the thrill of standing on Europe’s most active volcano? Unforgettable.

Wander through the ruins of a Greek theatre with one of the most dazzling backdrops on Earth—the sparkling Ionian Sea on one side, Mount Etna on the other. It's one of those rare places where nature and history blend so seamlessly it takes your breath away.

As the golden hour casts its glow over ancient columns and almond trees, you’ll stroll through Agrigento’s legendary Valley of the Temples. This UNESCO World Heritage site is stunning by day—but at twilight? It’s pure magic.

Stroll through the lively markets of Ortigia, where locals sell sun-dried tomatoes, olives, blood oranges, handmade ceramics, and wild herbs. The colors, scents, and friendly smiles will make your heart feel full—and your suitcase a little heavier.

Each of these excursions is more than a photo op—it’s a moment to connect, to feel alive, to feed your soul with beauty, culture, and joy. This isn’t travel for the sake of checking boxes. It’s a journey designed with you in mind—your pace, your passions, your desire to experience the world with wonder and good company.

On this unforgettable journey through Malta and Sicily, we’ve selected hotels that are as memorable as the destinations themselves. In Malta, you’ll settle into the Land’s End Boutique Hotel in Sliema — a sleek, contemporary hideaway with stunning sea views, stylish décor, and easy access to the promenade, cafes, and harbor. Once in Sicily, you’ll be welcomed at Hotel Villa Carlotta, a refined villa in Taormina that exudes timeless elegance, lush with greenery and perched above the Ionian Sea. Later, in Palermo, enjoy the grandeur of the Excelsior Palace Hotel, a historic landmark that blends Belle Époque architecture with modern comfort in the heart of the city.

Each of our three handpicked hotels offers not only comfort and beauty but also an ideal location for exploring — and with just three hotel changes, you’ll have the freedom to truly unpack, relax, and feel at home as you immerse yourself in Mediterranean life.

And yes—single rooms are available for those who want a space all their own. No awkwardness. No extra cost surprises. Just comfort, connection, and the freedom to relax your way.

For women 55+ who crave richness without the rush, this small‑group (max 24 guests) journey offers the perfect pace—packed with discovery yet balanced with downtime. Engage in intimate local interactions, linger in bustling piazzas, or simply bask by the sea—whatever suits your rhythm.

Embrace off‑season magic: vibrant fall hues, smaller crowds, gentle Mediterranean breezes, and authentic culinary traditions in full swing. It’s the golden window for smart, seasoned travelers like you.

Don’t wait. With limited group size and authentic experiences in high demand, this trip will sell out fast. Let’s get your spot secured with:
