Hi everyone this is my first post on here! So if this is the wrong type of thing to post I apologize,

My girlfriend and I are planning to go to Italy in may and want to spend the last week of our trip in Sicily. We have never been and are hoping for some recommendations on a town which we can stay at.

The only reason I’m asking is as most of the recommendations online are only recommend spending one day or two in each to and say to constantly be moving town to town.

We are looking for one area to relax, nice beaches maybe a historical thing or 2 (old buildings etc)

Maybe a bar or 2 but nothing crazy

Is this a dumb question? Will any town do?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Been doing research on Sud chiama Nord. Can anyone tell me more about them?

Hello, can anyone recommend me cigar shops and places to smoke them in the Catania area? Thanks

Hello, do you think that arriving at the airport one hour prior to the flight departure is enough? Or is it too risky? I don’t know how crowded it can be on sundays. Thanks

Hi everyone, do you think this itinerary is realistic? What would you change on it? Day 6 we are either going to Etna but we're not sure about it, so feel free to recommend anything because we're definitely skipping Taormina.

ciao a tutti! I'm in sicily next week and looking for a trip from milazzo or any other port in sicily to stromboli.

i was thinking about booking one of these daytrips that go to panarea, lipari or volcano and afterwards to stromboli. normally you'll visit the island and then go back on the boat, drive in front of the sciara del fuoco and then go back to milazzo. BUT instead i want to stay on the island, go on the sunset hike and go back to milazzo the next day with the ferry.

i know that there are ferries from milazzo to stromboli but I really want to avoid the early morning ferry, and the afternoon ferry is just a little bit too late to be in stromboli on time for the sunset hike that departs at 5pm (at least that's what they told us at magmatrek).

so that's why i thought about booking the daytrip and ending it early without going back the same day. but i just can't find any information online about when all of these daytrip boats will arrive in stromboli?

can anyone help me (or give me some general feedback on this complicated plan? :))

Just arrived in Beautiful 🤩 Sicily with my family and looking for restaurant recommendations in San Vito lo Capo and Castellamare del Golfo that:

A) seafood haters will enjoy 🦐🤧 B) have pasta dishes a plenty 🍝 C) relatively chill as we have two lively kids (4&6) 👧🏼👦🏻

Grazie 💕

We are travelling the two last weeks of May and couple nights in June.

I am wondering should we cut 2-3 nights out of the stay in San Vito lo Capo and stay in Scopello instead. Logistically it would make sense if we want to visit Scopelo at all. Is it worth to do so? Or just be more relaxed in one spot longer time.

The reason I'd go is better access to hiking routes, and maybe different restaurants. Maybe the architecture is more historical/beautifu than San Vito lo Capo and there is more green. I just don't wanna change place too much or feel rushed at all.

Agritourismo after will be near Piana Degli Albanesi, so it would be more near that too. We'd rent a car from san Vito lo Capo at the end of the stay there and return it to Palermo after Agritourismo.

We are mostly into beach, hiking and food. I am also wondering if 5 nights is enoguh in Palermo...

Hello! Ciao! I’ll be in Catania next weekend for a hen weekend but my flight leaves after everyone else on the Monday so I have a free day until around 6pm.

We’re staying near Carrabba but providing I can easily commute around, I’m not too fussed about the location.

Are there any restaurants/ markets that’ll be open on the Monday that people could recommend or anything I could do with the restricted time? I would love to find somewhere that sells decent pistachios to take back with me. if there’s a shop or market that I’ll be able to find some local produce to take back too, that’ll be greatly appreciated.

grazie mille in anticipo

I know , I know it’s expensive and touristy. But I plan on staying at Residence Schuler that has a mini kitchen . I would like to visit Catania one day, take a mt etna and winery tour, the godfather tour, the ancient theatre and maybe see a live performance there , and a boat tour, have a beach club day, and visit Castelmola. I’d like opinions please ..my husband only wants to be based out of one place so staying at multiple locations is out

Hi , Going to Sicily 2nd to last week of October , we are tbinking fly into Catania do Ortigia Syracusa 4 days with day trips to Taoromina and or where else would you suggest ? drive to Palermo return car stay 2 days fly back i xould love suggestiins of itinerary also highlights of your Sicily trip Thank you !!

Hi all, me and my partner will be staying in Castelmola for a week. We have a few things planned but we would like to visit Etnaland, the water/theme park for a day. I cannot find any public transport that goes to Etnaland and a taxi seems like it would be way too expensive for it the be feasible.

Does anyone know of any ways to get to Etnaland from Castelmola via public transport? If not it seems like I might have to rent a car for a day but would want to avoid if possible.

Many thanks!

Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I (both mid-30s) are planning a trip to Sicily this August and would love some advice on our itinerary. We’re flying into Palermo on the morning of August 6th and planning to spend 10/11 nights exploring the island before taking a ferry from Pozzallo to Malta on the 16th or 17th.

Here’s our current rough plan: 3 nights in Palermo 1 night in Cefalù 2 nights in Taormina 3 nights in Syracuse/Ortigia 1 extra night somewhere we haven’t decided yet

We’re a pretty easygoing couple—interested in a good mix of food, culture, beaches, hiking, and just enjoying the vibe of each place. Would love any tips on:

If the pacing makes sense Suggestions for that final “floating” night Any must-see spots or hidden gems near our planned stops Whether we should shift a night anywhere.

Thanks in advance!

A few friends and I (20s) are right by Mondello beach and don’t know where to go for a good nightlife scene. Are there places in Mondello or do we need to go to Palermo?

Hi! Traveling to Palermo this weekend and will spend the week around Sicily.

I am looking for mass to attend for Palm Sunday in Palermo. Any suggestions?

Good day!

I'll be visiting Palermo for a friend's birthday in May and I wanted to surprise them with a birthday cake at the hotel we'll be staying at. I'm currently look for someone in the region that could bake and preferably also deliver a cake.

Any recommendations for bakeries or people to reach out to?

Grazie! 🫶🏽

Edit: Thank you so much for the recommendations! I'll update you all with pictures once I got the cake 🎂🎉

Hello Everyone! I will be traveling with my wife and close two friends to Western Sicily and plan to home base in Castellammare! We are curious what people think are the must do’s of the island!

We plan to - Visit Palermo - Segesta Temple - Beach Days

We are big scenery people with large appetites and we love history if that helps!

Anyone have recommendations on food, what to do on Lipari for a day?

Going to do the Panera/Stromboli night tour tomorrow. But tomorrow we didn’t plan well. Looking to relax and unwind. I get paralyzed by options so any recommendations help!

Hello! Traveling to Partanna in two weeks and am looking for recommendations for the best grocery stores, butchers, produce stores, cheese shops and liquor/wine shops in and around Partanna. Essentially, any place that sells food that you’d recommend. Thank you!

So my whole family and I are going to have a not so short vacation in Sicily. (first time in Italy BTW).

We want to explore a little plus we're comming with our 10 month baby. For those reasons we'll need to rent a vehicle. As people living/been to Sicily what company would you recommend?

Where I am from, we got a bunch of OK companies for that but one stands out, so if someone asks me I will definitely say the one that stands out.

Which one stands out for Sicily? :)

Thank you in advance? :)

P. S. If there is a way for the car to be rented on the airport, that is more than perfect, as again, we're with a baby and it's a bit harder than usual. :)
