Discover the Sicilian Way

Discover the Sicilian Way is a small Pozzallo-based travel company focused on Sicily. It was founded by local licensed driver Salvatore Covato (with partners Maria Covato and Suadina Haljcovik), who together share a passion for authentic Sicilian hospitality ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=Based%20in%20Pozzallo%2C%20Discover%20%E2%80%AFThe,journey%20simple%2C%20safe%2C%20and%20memorable)) ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=,professionalism%2C%20comfort%2C%20and%20local%20insight)). The platform serves individual leisure travelers (many arriving from nearby Malta via Pozzallo’s ferry) by offering private transfers, custom day tours, and curated local experiences. According to their website, "From private transfers and Sicily tours to comfortable holiday stays, we help travelers discover the beauty of Sicily with local knowledge and personalized assistance" ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=From%20private%20transfers%20and%20Sicily,local%20knowledge%20and%20personalized%20assistance)). Their tour catalog includes about a dozen popular excursions (Mt. Etna volcano, UNESCO Baroque towns like Noto and Ragusa, ancient Greek sites in Siracusa/Ortigia, Taormina, etc.) all of which can be customized. All tours are fully flexible, guided by local experts, and accompanied by modern vehicles and direct communication ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=Based%20in%20Pozzallo%2C%20Discover%20%E2%80%AFThe,journey%20simple%2C%20safe%2C%20and%20memorable)) ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=,professionalism%2C%20comfort%2C%20and%20local%20insight)). In addition to tours, the company manages several vacation rental homes in Pozzallo: one partner “manages selected holiday homes and short-term rentals in Pozzallo” ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=,high%E2%80%91quality%20service%20for%20every%20guest)), while another partner handles guest check-in and property management under special lease agreements ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=,management%20with%20dedication%20and%20care)). This allows them to cross-sell accommodations along with tours. Their tagline is "Transfers, Tours & Stays in Sicily – All in One Place," reflecting this integrated one-stop approach. Thanks to their Pozzallo base, they especially target visitors coming from Malta to explore south-east Sicily ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=Thanks%20to%20our%20location%20in,East%20Sicily)). The website is primarily English-language and is designed for direct bookings. As a niche regional reseller, Discover the Sicilian Way is relatively small in scale (on the order of 10–20 tours and a handful of rental properties) and operates more like a boutique local operator than a large OTA. It offers local suppliers the advantages of personalized service and bundled promotion to international travelers, but no public supplier portal or connectivity is provided. Nevertheless, their focus on authentic, flexible experiences and combined service packages makes them a notable player in the Sicilian tours market ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=From%20private%20transfers%20and%20Sicily,local%20knowledge%20and%20personalized%20assistance)) ([www.discoverthesicilianway.com](https://www.discoverthesicilianway.com/about#:~:text=Based%20in%20Pozzallo%2C%20Discover%20%E2%80%AFThe,journey%20simple%2C%20safe%2C%20and%20memorable)).
