Let yourself be captivated by the authenticity of Novara di Sicilia, one of the most charming villages in the Messina hinterland, where history, traditions and local flavours reveal the true soul of Sicily.

The guided tour through the historic centre takes you past elegant buildings, ancient churches, stone-paved alleys and picturesque squares, uncovering centuries of history and traditions that have made Novara di Sicilia one of Sicily’s medieval gems.

During the tour, you will also have the opportunity to discover one of the area’s most renowned gastronomic specialities: Maiorchino, a traditional hard cheese produced using time-honoured artisanal techniques. The cheese is at the heart of one of the village’s most distinctive traditions, the famous Maiorchino Tournament, a unique local competition in which wheels of cheese are rolled along the streets of the village.

The experience can end with a tasting of typical local products or, upon request, with a lunch featuring traditional Sicilian specialities prepared with genuine ingredients and recipes handed down through generations.

For those looking to add a touch of adventure to the day, the experience can also be combined with a guided quad bike excursion through the rural landscapes surrounding the village.

An ideal experience for couples, families and groups who want to discover the history, flavours and traditions of one of Sicily’s most authentic villages.
