Sicily and the Aeolian Islands
Go Learn

Details and What to Expect

Pre-Departure

Go Learn is a unique travel program. For those who can join us, we like to offer pre-departure meetings to prepare travelers about the learning we will experience as well as logistics. We’ll make sure you have all the information you need before you arrive in Sicily. Meet your trip leader, and meet your group! We will share this information in writing with those who might not be able to attend as Go Learn increasingly attracts people from the entire USA.

Our journey does not end with the day we leave Sicily! A trip reunion a month after return is a wonderful capstone to an unforgettable and enriching edu-vacation, as we like to call our journeys!

About Sicily and the Aeolian Sea

We deliberately picked June as the month of travel. The weather and sea in Sicily are consistently warm enough in June to entice travelers to the beach, with an average daily high of 74*F and a low of 60*F. Even better: June is the ideal month to avoid summer crowds, enjoy calm seas for our boat excursions, and pleasant temperatures for those amazing sunsets we are in for.

Activity levels and restrictions

In order to fully explore the sights on our itinerary, we will be walking every day. We may walk between 5-7 miles daily. Some walking could be on uneven surfaces and we will encounter stairs, and occasional hills. We may stand on our feet for prolonged periods. Be sure to pack comfortable shoes! We will rely on the private buses for most of our transportation.
