Cefalu and Taormina Sicily
Photography Adventure with Mary
5-Night Workshop March 14 to 19, 2024
Do you crave a sunny escape to the Mediterranean Sea?
Discover this tantalizing island off the boot toe of Southern Italy with me.
Sicily is a breathtaking brew of Greek, Arab, Norman, and Roman cultures.
You'll walk to spectacular places: the sparkling sea is your new front yard, dazzling daily strolls and vibrant views where you'll receive one-on-one guidance on how to take exquisite photographs.
Your photography guidance is hands-on training as you're shooting which is the way I learned how to do it 45 years ago.
You'll see the photo before you take it. Are you wondering how to compose a shot, choose an angle, and identify your light then this is your workshop.
Stunning Taormina is the pearl of the Mediterranean. Want to get naughty? The food here is thrilling. Pistachio is the passion of this island, and luscious chocolate, sinful arancini, divine bread, lusty gelato, and the shameless cheese!
You'll be ecstatic seeing the wild cliffs and breathtaking beach where we'll be shooting; both in town and in nature.
Cefalu, a seaside foodie town, enchants you with its gigantic chunk of rock towering over it. Beach walks, spectacular sunsets, street photography and delicious delicacies and scrumptious wine.
Gems I've discovered: a secret wine sanctuary over the sea, an inviting beach with an ancient convent on it, and a stunning Norman piazza in the center of town. The sunsets will melt you in bliss, I promise.
Taormina: exquisite views, spectacular food, and cliff sides cascading with bougainvillea towering over a cobalt blue sea. What will we photograph? A stunning beach, architecture, people, food, Greek amphitheater, botanical garden, and sunsets.
And still time for shopping and eating.
Bonus: you'll eat heavenly Sicilian delicacies you've never tasted before and their wine is absolutely thrilling: lower alcohol content, low cost, and high value.
Here's the thing;
Every photo walk is an adventure, carefully curated to ignite your creativity and spark incredible photos taken by you! Guaranteed.

Sicily Itinerary
Day 1:
Explore the central piazza of Cefalu and the breathtaking beaches. Sunset and dusk shooting in the early evening.
Day 2:
Street photography in the center of town. You'll capture candid moments of people practicing your timing to nail the shot. There's an art to capturing stealth photos. Sicilians in this town have been known to playfully participate in your photo captures.
Day 3
Fun trip from Cefalu to Taormina, the pearl of the Mediterranean, by train!
Day 4
The stunning Isola Bella beach will captivate you with its amazing views and Street Photography in the main piazza will have you ecstatically wanting more of the volcanic sky, architecture, and people watching here.
Day 5
Morning shooting and you'll receive in depth commentary on your photos. This will help you see what makes some of your photos remarkable and exactly how you can improve other photos the next time you're out shooting so you can continue your success at home.
You can catch your plane in Palermo or Catania:
Historic architecture and marble fountains, and the Ballero Food Market Palermo or a stroll around Catania built in the 18th century.
Here's what Shirley McClintock, a participant in my Sicily workshop has to say about it:
"Your real talent is the care you bring to everyone you meet. You have a special sparkle that most people don’t have."

Is this for you?
This is for you if you don't want to agonize over which island to visit in the Mediterranean. Sicily will captivate you with its seascapes, ravishing architecture, and friendly residents.
And I'll be with you every step of the way! I've fallen in love with its charm, beauty, seafood, and people from 5 journeys here.
Here's why you should book now:
1. Only 6 people, so once all seats are reserved, no more availability until next year.
2. You'll return home with stunning photos and new skills you've learned so you can photograph your future travels and your own backyard capturing people, architecture, and nature.
3. No single supplement for your private room. You get your own space in lodging I've discovered for you in my world travels. I stay in local hotels that give you a 5-star experience at an affordable price, $45 to $55 per night in Sicily.
Where to stay?
I'll recommend hotels for you in the center of Cefalu and Taormina so you can walk everywhere. No need for high price taxis.
You get your own private room.
Of if you want to book your own hotels or apartments, choose near the historic center by the Duomo Piazza.
Both Taormina and Cefalu are bursting with fresh seafood and Sicilian delicacies, wonderful local artisan shops and relaxing strolls around town, plus a hidden mountain hideaway to my heritage village, Isnello, up above Cefalu if everyone wants to book a cab to this high altitude gem.
You'll be invigorated by the salty air and ancient piazzas on a golden sand beach.
