Visit Sicily

“Sicily is hectic. Everybody cuts you off in traffic, schedule is a recommendation, everybody's going somewhere abd talking loudly on the phone. Sicilians were at times plain rude to me, and in others welcomed me as family - not much in between. If you know any Italian at all, it's a great help - I took the advice of an Italian in my first hostel that suggested I never admit to know English unless absolutely necessary. A little bit of Italian really softens the experience. Sicily was really intense - the views, the culture, the history, the food, were all rich beyond my imagination. I'm really glad I picked this special place and really enjoyed my trip.”

“I dedicated lots of time and money to eat out - street food, market food, regular and fancy restaurants, pizzerias, cafés... And I feel it really added to my trip - Sicilian food and beverages are incredible. A good Aperativo will set your day right, if that's your thing. Service in Sicily was generally really slow, but I took the time to let it all sink in and rest and really enjoyed that approach.”
