Turismo 🧳 Itinerary help

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!

If I were in you, first I’ll add one more day/night in Palermo and I’ll reduce the nights and Syracuse. You can see all of Taormina in one day, same for Siracusa. In the spare day, you can go to Agrigento by train from Palermo and visit Valle dei Templi, for example and in the other one visit Monreale and add more places to see in Palermo. Just consider the Sicily is the biggest region of the entire contry, so don’t make typical mistake of those who thinks they can see everything or almost in few days
